When you call us, we'll give you a specific ETA and technician name. While waiting, there are some things worth doing and some worth avoiding.

Stay in a safe location. If you're locked out of your car in a parking lot at night, wait near a well-lit area or inside an open business. If you're locked out of your home, stay in your car or with a neighbor rather than standing alone on your porch. Your safety matters more than saving two minutes.

Have identification ready. We verify ownership before unlocking property. For homes, ID showing the address is ideal. For cars, registration or insurance cards help. For businesses, employee ID or authorization from ownership. Having documents ready speeds the verification process.

Don't attempt DIY entry. YouTube tutorials make lockout bypass look easy, but amateur attempts usually cause damage. A bent car door, a broken lock, or a damaged door frame turns a $75 lockout into a $300+ repair. Let professionals handle it.

Save our number for future reference. Many customers call us once, get great service, and then can't find the number when they need us again. Save (737) 222-7022 in your contacts as 'Austin Locksmiths' - you probably won't need us again soon, but if you do, you'll be glad you have it.

Some locksmiths advertise impossibly low prices, then show up and charge triple. Others gouge customers during emergencies, knowing you're stuck and desperate. We do neither.

Our pricing is honest and consistent. Car lockouts start at $55, house lockouts at $45, and services scale based on complexity - not urgency. You get an upfront estimate before work starts, day or night, and any after-hours fee is disclosed before we begin. We don't believe in gouging people for having emergencies at inconvenient times.

We quote before starting work. Our technician assesses the situation, explains what's needed, and provides a firm price. You approve before we do anything. If you want to shop around first, that's fine - though we're confident our pricing is competitive.

What you see is what you pay. Service call fees are stated upfront. Additional services (key cutting, lock repair) are quoted separately and explained. 'Hidden fees' and 'after the fact charges' aren't part of our vocabulary.

We've been in Austin since 2015. Building a reputation over 10+ years requires treating people fairly. Gouging customers during emergencies generates one-time revenue but destroys repeat business and referrals. We'd rather earn your trust and your recommendation to friends.
