WHAT WE HANDLE
-
Keys Locked Inside
Keys left on the counter or table while the door locked behind you. The most common residential lockout. We open it without damage.
-
Deadbolt and Knob Locks
Standard Kwikset and Schlage deadbolts, knob locks, handlesets. Non-destructive entry on all common residential hardware.
-
Broken Key or Stuck Lock
Key snapped off in the cylinder, or the deadbolt will not turn. We extract broken keys and cut replacements on site.
-
Rekeying After Entry
Lost or stolen keys? We rekey on the same visit. One trip, one invoice. New keys cut before we leave the driveway.
HOW HOME LOCKOUT SERVICE WORKS
-
Call or Request Online
A live dispatcher picks up, day or night. Give us your address and lock type so we bring the right tools.
-
Technician Dispatched
Your nearest licensed technician is routed immediately. Median Central Austin arrival: 14 minutes.
-
Ownership Verified
We confirm you are the homeowner or authorized resident. Driver's license or lease document. Quick and straightforward.
-
Non-Destructive Entry
We assess the lock and use the least invasive technique. Most deadbolts and knob locks open in under 20 minutes without damage.
-
Lock Tested and Options Reviewed
We verify the lock functions correctly after entry. Rekeying or spare key cutting available on the spot if you need it.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ARRIVE
Non-Destructive Entry on Austin Homes Since 2010
The first tool out of the bag is not a drill. Our technicians carry picks, bypass tools, and tension wrenches calibrated for Kwikset, Schlage, Baldwin, and Medeco cylinders. Hill Country humidity accelerates pin corrosion in older Austin homes, particularly in Hyde Park and Clarksville bungalows with original hardware from the 1960s. We factor that into the approach before we put tension on anything.
After the door is open, we test the lock from both sides and confirm the deadbolt throws cleanly. If the mechanism is worn or the key is marginal, we tell you on the spot rather than letting you find out at 11 p.m. next month. Rekeying takes another 10 to 15 minutes per cylinder and is quoted before we start.
- Non-destructive entry on standard and high-security deadbolts
- Broken key extraction and on-site key cutting

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 house door?
Most residential lockouts are resolved in 15 to 30 minutes from our technician's arrival. A standard knob lock takes 5 to 10 minutes; a deadbolt 10 to 20 minutes. High-security cylinders or antique hardware in older Hyde Park or Clarksville homes may take up to 30 minutes. We assess the lock type when we arrive and give you an honest time estimate before we start.
Will you damage my lock or door?
Non-destructive entry is our first approach on every job. We use picks, bypass tools, and shimming techniques calibrated for each lock brand. Drilling is a last resort, reserved for locks that cannot be picked without creating a risk of further damage. In the overwhelming majority of residential lockouts, the lock and door frame are untouched when we leave.
Do I need to prove I live here?
Yes. A driver's license matching the property address is the fastest option. If your ID shows a different address, a lease agreement, utility bill, or mortgage statement also works. This step protects you: it prevents someone from calling a locksmith to enter a home that is not theirs.
Can you rekey or cut a spare key while you are already on site?
Yes. Our service vehicles carry key cutting equipment and common residential cylinder blanks. If you want to rekey after a lockout, that adds roughly 10 to 15 minutes per lock. We quote the rekeying cost before we start so there are no surprises on the invoice.
What does home lockout service cost in Austin?
Most residential lockouts in the Austin area run $75 to $150 depending on the lock type and complexity. We quote the price before we begin work. The rate is the same at midnight on a Sunday as it is at noon on a Tuesday. If you need rekeying or a spare key cut, we quote that separately.
Can you reach my neighborhood in Round Rock, Pflugerville, or Cedar Park?
Yes. From our Central Austin dispatch, Round Rock and Cedar Park average 20 to 25 minutes via MoPac or I-35. Pflugerville and Georgetown average 22 to 28 minutes. Call us and we confirm your exact address and give you an honest drive time before we dispatch.
Is your technician licensed to work in Texas?
Yes. Texas DPS Locksmith License #B19847. Every technician dispatched is employed by and insured through Pros On Call. We carry that credential on every job and will show it on request.
