The Flat Rate Locksmith,
Licensed Across Texas
We quote the price on the phone. You approve it before we roll. That is the whole deal.
They'd Seen Enough Villains
WOW Locks LLC was founded in 2021 by a crew of licensed Texas locksmiths who had spent years inside the industry watching the same scam play out at every door. Cheap ad. Bait price. The tech shows up and the bill quadruples. The crew got tired of it.
So they built a different company. The Texas DPS license is on the door before any tech is dispatched. The price is quoted on the phone before any van rolls. The flat rate is the rate. That is the entire model.
Every technician dispatched under the WOW Locks name operates under license #B10595301. The crew is bonded and insured as Texas DPS requires. The promise is identical at 3pm or 3am, in Austin or El Paso: the price you hear is the price you pay.

No Bait. No Switch. The Price You Hear Is The Price You Pay.
Most locksmith ads show $15. The tech shows up and it becomes $150. That is not a coincidence. It is a business model. The Federal Trade Commission has been warning consumers about this exact pattern for years.
WOW Locks runs the opposite playbook. The price is quoted on the phone before any tech is dispatched. After-hours fees, lockout complexity, hardware replacement: every add-on scenario is disclosed up front. The caller approves the total. Then the tech rolls.

How To Spot A Real Texas Locksmith
The Federal Trade Commission has published consumer alerts about locksmith fraud. The pattern is consistent: a fake local ad with a low price, a phone number that routes to a national call center, an unlicensed technician who demands cash, and a final bill that has nothing to do with the quote. Search "FTC locksmith scam" to read the agency guidance directly.
Three things separate a legitimate Texas locksmith from a scam operator. Check all three before any tech arrives at your door.
-
1. A Real State License
Texas requires every locksmith business to hold a Department of Public Safety license. The number must be visible. Unlicensed operators cannot legally work a lock in Texas. WOW Locks: License #B10595301.
-
2. Fees Disclosed Before Dispatch
A legitimate Texas locksmith quotes the total on the phone. Add-on fees, after-hours surcharges, and hardware costs are all disclosed before any tech rolls. If a quote balloons at the door, you are looking at the FTC scam pattern.
-
3. A Verifiable Physical Address
Real locksmiths operate from real addresses. WOW Locks HQ is at 11612 Running Brush Ln, Austin TX 78717. Scam operators run fake local listings that route to a national call center. Ask where the tech is dispatched from.
If a locksmith refuses to give you their license number before they arrive, hang up. Ours is right here: B10595301 . Verify it on the Texas state portal or check the Better Business Bureau before any tech rolls.
All of Texas Is Our Turf
Austin HQ. Local techs in every major Texas metro. The flat-rate promise rolls with every tech.

Questions, Answered
Are you a real, licensed locksmith company?
Yes. WOW Locks LLC holds Texas DPS License #B10595301, verifiable on the official state portal. Our Austin HQ is at 11612 Running Brush Ln, Austin TX 78717: a real physical address, not a call-center routing number.
How can I verify your license before you arrive?
Visit the Texas DPS public licensing portal at tops.portal.texas.gov and search for "WOW Locks". The record shows the business name, license status, and issue date. Every tech we dispatch operates under license #B10595301.
How does flat-rate pricing work?
The price is quoted on the phone. After-hours surcharges, lockout complexity, and hardware replacement scenarios are disclosed before dispatch. You approve the total. The tech does not arrive without your verbal OK on the price.
What makes WOW Locks different from cheap-ad locksmiths?
Three structural differences: a verifiable Texas DPS license you can look up right now, a real Austin HQ address you can drive to, and flat-rate pricing disclosed before any tech is dispatched. The FTC has documented the locksmith scam pattern. We were built to break it.
Where are your locksmiths based?
Austin is HQ. Local techs operate in every major Texas metro: Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Laredo, McAllen, Midland, Odessa, and surrounding suburbs. We are not a national call center routing to whatever tech is closest.
Do you work nights and weekends?
24/7, 365 days a year. The same flat-rate disclosure process applies regardless of time. After-hours fees are quoted on the phone before dispatch.
Are your technicians background-checked?
Every tech operating under the WOW Locks DPS license meets the requirements set by the Texas Department of Public Safety. The bond and insurance carried by the license cover every job dispatched under our number.
