Lock & Key Services in Austin, TX
Lock and key work is the everyday half of this trade. Not emergencies, not systems design, just the steady business of keys that need cutting and locks that need attention.
That covers keys cut to code or from a sample, cylinders rekeyed, locks fitted and adjusted, padlocks supplied and keyed alike, and the general tidying up of a key ring that has grown to fourteen keys nobody can identify.
It is worth doing before it becomes an emergency. A spare cut today is a fraction of a lockout at midnight, and an hour spent keying a property alike saves a decade of fumbling at the door.

Common questions
Can you cut keys without the original?
Yes, either from the lock's code or by decoding the cylinder on site.
Can everything on my ring be one key?
Most exterior doors, usually yes. Mailboxes and vehicles stay separate because the keyways are different.
Do you come out for small jobs?
Yes. The service call fee covers the trip and small jobs get combined into one visit.

Locked myself out at eleven at night with a toddler asleep upstairs. Quoted me on the phone, arrived in half an hour, had the door open in under five minutes without a scratch on it. Charged exactly what was quoted.

We turn over about forty units a year and they handle every rekey. Invoiced to the office, keying schedule emailed the same day, never had to chase them.

Dealer wanted a tow plus two days for a lost Kia key. These guys did it in my driveway in about an hour for a lot less. Two keys, both tested before he left.
