Some keys are marked as one of the following:
- “Do Not Duplicate”
- “Do Not Copy”
- “Unlawful To Copy”
If you need a copy of a key with one of these labels, we can help.
You will need to provide a letter of authorization from the owner of the key with a request to duplicate. This letter must be:
- On company letterhead
- Identify the key to be copied
- The number of keys needed
- The name and contact information of the person who will pick up the keys (This person will also need to fill out a “Request for Restricted Keys” form).
Please note that we reserve the right to refuse to copy keys.
Absolutely not!
At Pros On Call, our mobile units have the advanced equipment necessary to provide you with new laser cut keys and we come to you. We can also replace transponder keys and car fobs on the spot.
Simply put, a fresh lock installation involves installing a new lock where none previously existed. This is a more involved process and involves cutting and drilling new holes in doors and walls.
A general lock installation simply means that we install new lock hardware in the space where older locks were already in place.
A lock change is often implemented when current locks are severely damaged or lock upgrades are requested. In this process, our technicians will install a brand new lock and issue a new set of keys.
Lock rekeys are a much quicker process and only involve switching the existing lock’s internal mechanism so that old keys will no longer work. Then, new keys are issued that will work with your original locks. This is a great option when you move into a new home.
The strongest lock on the market today is a high-security grade 1 lock. They come in various styles including mortise and are typically used for commercial properties. Ask our lock experts to help you find the right lock to meet your needs.

- Ricardo S.9/26/2024Some how or another I bent the key to my Toyota Tundra. I reached out to All Valley Pop A Lock and they dispatched a tech. Within 10 minutes Jaime called me and I explained the situation to him. He asked for a pic of my key to verify it was a model he could replace. He was at my door in less than 30 minutes to pickup the key. Within 2 hours I had my replacement key. The owner himself came out to do the programming. Their prices are well within reason.. I highly recommend!!!!!read moreread less
- Olivia A.8/01/2024I found myself in need of a locksmith ASAP to change the locks in my home. I called around to 5-6 different locksmiths in the area and either they were booked too far out or their prices were astronomical. I'm amazed at how much prices vary for locksmiths in Austin. Matt called me back right away, was able to give me a very reasonable price and was at my house within 30 minutes. He was extremely professional, personable and got the job done within 45 mins. I highly recommend Matt and he will be my first call if I need a locksmith again!read moreread less
