Residential Locksmith Services
Residential Locksmith Services in Austin, TX
New house, new tenant, ex-roommate who never gave the key back. Rekeying costs a fraction of new hardware and takes about an hour for a whole house.
-
Rekey every lock to one key
Front, back, garage side door and the deadbolt on the gate, all turning on a single key you carry.
-
Deadbolts and strike plates that hold
Grade 2 and Grade 1 hardware with three-inch screws into the stud, because a Grade 1 lock in a soft jamb still kicks in.
-
Smart locks, fitted properly
Keypad and Wi-Fi deadbolts supplied and installed, with the mechanical key still cut to your house key.

Common questions
Rekey or replace?
Rekey if the hardware is sound: it is far cheaper and takes minutes per lock. Replace if the lock is worn, the finish is shot, or you want to move up a security grade.
Can all my doors use one key?
Almost always. If the locks are different brands we can usually still key them alike, or swap one cylinder so they match.
Do you work on rental property?
Yes, and turnover rekeys are a big part of what we do. We can invoice a management company and leave a keying schedule for your records.

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.

Panic bar failed on a Friday during service. They came out after close, fixed it properly and talked me through what the inspector would be looking for.
