Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you respond to a home lockout emergency?
We guarantee a 30-minute response time for most locations in the Austin metro area. Our mobile locksmith units are strategically positioned throughout Austin to reach you quickly when you're locked out of your home.
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
Rekeying is more cost-effective (60-70% cheaper) and just as secure if your locks are in good condition. We recommend rekeying when you move into a new home, lose keys, or after a break-in. Lock replacement is best when locks are damaged, worn out, or you want to upgrade to high-security or smart locks.
How much does it cost to rekey a house in Austin?
Rekeying typically costs $75-$125 per lock, with multi-lock discounts (3+ locks: 10% off, 5+ locks: 15% off). Most Austin homes with 3-5 exterior locks can be rekeyed for $285-$475 total. This is significantly less expensive than replacing all your locks ($720-$1,200) and provides the same security benefit.
Do you install smart locks and keyless entry systems?
Yes! We install all types of keyless entry systems including smart locks (August, Schlage, Kwikset, Yale), keypad locks, and biometric systems. We can integrate with your existing home automation (Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit) or set them up as standalone devices. Installation includes setup, testing, and training on how to use all features.
What's included in a home security assessment?
Our professional security assessment ($95-$150) evaluates all entry points: doors, windows, garage, lighting, and landscaping. We identify vulnerabilities and provide a prioritized improvement roadmap with cost estimates. The assessment fee is fully credited if you implement recommended upgrades through us.
Are your locksmiths licensed and insured?
Yes, all our technicians are licensed, bonded, and insured. We maintain comprehensive liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Every technician is background-checked and undergoes continuous training on the latest locksmith techniques and security technologies.
