WHAT WE HANDLE
-
Keys Locked Inside
Keys on the seat while the door locked. The most common car lockout. We open it without damage to paint or weatherstripping.
-
Push-Button-Start Vehicles
Smart-key and proximity-fob vehicles from 1995 forward. We carry bypass tools specific to your make and model.
-
Child or Pet Emergency
Highest-priority dispatch. Call 911 first if any distress is present, then call us. We coordinate with emergency services and arrive fast.
-
Broken Key or Lost Keys
Key snapped in the door or ignition, or all keys gone. We extract broken keys and cut transponder replacements on site for most 1995-plus vehicles.
HOW CAR LOCKOUT SERVICE WORKS
-
Call or Request Online
A live dispatcher answers, day or night. Confirm your make, model, year, and exact location so we dispatch the right tools.
-
Technician Dispatched to You
Your nearest licensed technician drives to your parking lot or roadside location. Median Central Texas arrival: 18 to 22 minutes.
-
Damage-Free Entry. Drive Away.
We assess the door and use the correct non-destructive tool for your vehicle. Most entries take 10 to 20 minutes on site. You drive away.
WHAT DAMAGE-FREE MEANS ON A REAL VEHICLE
No Scratched Paint. No Bent Door Frame.
The coat-hanger method bends door frames. Hardware-store wedges tear weatherstripping. Either approach can trigger side airbag sensors on vehicles built after 2010, a repair that runs $800 to $2,000. Our technicians carry long-reach tools and bypass kits matched to specific door profiles. A Ford F-150 does not get the same tool as a Toyota Camry or a Tesla Model 3.
We work in Austin parking lots, on MoPac shoulders, in Round Rock shopping centers, and outside Cedar Park apartment complexes. Texas summer heat means we also work fast. A car interior hits 130 degrees in less than 30 minutes on a 95-degree Austin day. We show up, assess the vehicle, and get the door open - no dramatic back-and-forth, no surprise charges.
- Long-reach and bypass tools for most makes 1995 forward
- No wedge, no coat hanger, no broken weatherstripping
- Transponder key cutting and programming on site for most 1995-2015 vehicles
- Flat-rate pricing quoted before we start work

I had “Pros On Call” change the locks on my home that I recently purchased. It was easy to get a hold of them, they made an appointment quickly and did a great job for a fair price. I had them come out about two weeks later and put a deadbolt lock on my front door as well and again - easy to get a hold of, they had to order an aged bronze deadbolt lock 🔐 but once it arrived they came out quickly, did a great job, were neat and it was a fair price. I highly recommend “Pros On Call” for all of your Locksmith needs! 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for sure!!

Josh was amazing! I called him when I was locked out of my car, and he arrived within 20 minutes. He was professional, fast, and had my car unlocked in no time. The whole process was stress free, and his pricing was fair. I really appreciate how quickly he came to help. Highly recommend Josh if you ever need a reliable locksmith!

Josh was awesome, he came to the rescue and I didn’t have to wait longer than 30 minutes in total. He also was incredibly kind and understanding of my situation. Dropped off my kids, and somehow my key fab went missing! Also gave me a discount!!

It sucks they charge an inconvenience fee of 49.00. Which I wish you would have mentioned this on our intial call. Transparency would have been to say hey we charge an inconvenience fee. Never once was this mentioned. When we spoke with the representative all she said was the locksmith will call you with a price. Never once did she say we take your payment info so we can charge you an inconvenience fee. If that was mentioned then this would have been handled differently. She made it seem like we need a card on file to help. Then they attempted to debit my card twice for two separate transactions for 49.00. I understand you run a business. But transparency is key. I specifically asked her what I would be charged for never once did she mention this. Lesson learned. Update***she reached out in regards to my Google review. Although I attempted to resolve per phone call. Shameless.

Excellent service and high quality items! Roland was able to get me this key fob AND program it for a great price. Rechargeable fob is a lot more convenient than having to replace the battery every time it dies. Thank you !

I had Zach come out to the property that I purchased out in Luling, Texas. It’s about 10 acres, and it has a garage with a corroded lock. Out of all the companies I have called, which is roughly 5 to 6. He was able to take my call, head out the next day, and take care of the corroded lock I need fixed on my property. He was extremely professional and helped me by giving me instructions on how to operate the lock as well! I’m in the military and not able to be in the area, so he was very understanding and professional. Highly recommend!

Josh was amazing!!! Got us back up and running with two new key fobs in less than 30 mins. He definitely knows his business and has the experience. Got a great deal and I will definitely be calling him the next time we are in need of assistance again. Thank you, Josh!

Zach got to me asap and even called to make sure we were communicating the right location of my truck! Within 10 minutes it was open and running! He’s the man! Thank you so much for the quick turnaround!

Their response time was great. Orlando did a great job. No replacement parts were needed and repairs took an hour. I was badly disappointed at the high bill, even with a military discount. Maybe that is why I couldn’t get an approximate estimate before Orlando came. Bottom line : good work, too expensive

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does it take to unlock a car?
Most car lockouts are resolved in 10 to 20 minutes from our technician's arrival. Standard manual-lock vehicles take 8 to 12 minutes. Newer vehicles with advanced passive entry systems or push-button-start may take 15 to 25 minutes. Our median drive time to you in Central Austin is 18 to 22 minutes, so total time from your call is typically 30 to 45 minutes.
Will you damage my car or scratch the paint?
No. We use professional automotive lockout tools designed for specific door frames and weatherstripping. Coat hangers and hardware-store wedges damage weatherstripping and can bend door frames - our tools do not. If non-destructive entry is not possible on a specific vehicle configuration, we tell you before we start and quote the alternative.
Can you unlock push-button-start vehicles and smart-key cars?
Yes. Most push-button-start vehicles still have a mechanical lock cylinder on the driver door or a hidden keyhole behind a panel. We carry bypass tools for all major makes from 1995 forward, including vehicles with passive entry systems. Call us and confirm your make, model, and year before we dispatch so we bring the right kit.
My child or pet is locked in the car. What should I do?
Call 911 immediately if the child or pet shows any distress or if the car interior temperature is a concern. Texas car interiors reach 120 degrees within 10 minutes on a 90-degree day. After calling 911, call us at (888) 601-6005 - we dispatch immediately and coordinate with emergency services. Do not wait for us if the situation is life-threatening.
Can you make a replacement key if I lost all my keys?
Yes. We carry key cutting equipment and transponder chip blanks on each service vehicle. For most vehicles from 1995 to 2015, we cut and program a replacement key on site in 30 to 60 minutes. Newer vehicles with proximity fobs or encrypted key systems may require dealer coordination for the programming step, but we handle the lockout and cutting portion on the spot.
Do you serve my location in Round Rock, Cedar Park, or Pflugerville?
Yes. From our Central Austin dispatch we cover Round Rock and Cedar Park via MoPac or I-35 in approximately 20 to 25 minutes, Pflugerville in 22 to 28 minutes, Georgetown in 25 to 32 minutes. We serve 36 Texas markets total. Call us and we confirm your exact location and give you an honest drive time before we roll.
Is your technician licensed to work on vehicles in Texas?
Yes. Texas DPS Locksmith License #B19847 covers automotive lockout service. Every technician dispatched is employed by and insured through Pros On Call. We carry that credential on every job and show it on request. We do not subcontract.
