Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a locksmith cost in Texas?
Standard locksmith services in Texas range from $20 to $200 depending on the service. Lock rekeys cost $20 to $50 per lock, house lockouts run $75 to $150, and new lock installations cost $50 to $200 per lock. Emergency and after-hours calls typically add $25 to $75 to the base price. Always ask for a total price before the locksmith begins work.
How do I verify a locksmith is licensed in Texas?
Texas requires locksmiths to hold a license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Ask for their license number and verify it through the DPS website. Licensed locksmiths must also carry insurance and be bonded. Avoid any locksmith who cannot provide a license number, arrives in an unmarked vehicle, or refuses to show identification. TX24H only connects you with verified licensed pros.
How fast can a locksmith get to me in Texas?
Most TX24H locksmiths in urban areas arrive within 15 to 30 minutes for emergency calls. In suburban areas, expect 20 to 45 minutes. Rural locations may take longer depending on distance. Non-emergency appointments can be scheduled for a specific time that works for you. Emergency locksmiths operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays.
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
Rekeying is the better choice when you want new keys but your existing hardware is in good condition and you like the style. It costs significantly less than replacement. Replace your locks when the hardware is worn, outdated, or you want to upgrade to higher security or smart locks. After buying a home, rekeying all locks is the minimum recommended step for security.
Can a locksmith make keys for all types of locks?
Licensed locksmiths can make keys for virtually all lock types including standard pin tumbler locks, high-security locks like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, car keys and transponder fobs, padlocks, mailbox locks, and filing cabinet locks. Some high-security keys require special blanks that must be ordered. Car key programming requires specialized equipment that most mobile locksmiths carry.
What should I do if my key breaks in the lock?
Do not try to force the broken piece out with tools, as this can push it deeper and damage the lock cylinder. A locksmith uses specialized extraction tools to remove broken key fragments without harming the lock. The service typically costs $50 to $125 and takes just minutes. The locksmith can also cut a new key on the spot so you are not left without access.
