Texas Licensed. No Hidden Fees. Real Pricing In Writing.
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.
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.

Zero competitors show you prices on their About page. We do. That is the whole point.
Texas requires every locksmith business to hold a Texas Department of Public Safety license. The WOW Locks license is publicly listed in the state registry. Look it up.

Verify on TDLR PortalThe 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.

Exceptional customer service! I found myself in an embarrassing/unfortunate situation in which I was locked out of both my vehicle AND my home. Miguel responded quickly and in the short time frame of his commute over to my home, a fellow neighbor was able to help me get back in. Even after I let Miguel know, he still stopped by to make sure everything was good. That alone speaks to the level of care this team brings.

Nice young man came to unlock our Toyota Camry. He arrived around 20 to 30 minutes. No joke he literally did not take more than 3 minutes to unlock the car. Really recommend. He beat all the prices the others were charging us.

After a horrible experience with another locksmith, I was FINALLY and professionally ASSISTED with what we needed. Miguel and the WOW Locks team turned things around for us. Being on time, respectful, and fair on price made all the difference.

UPDATE 12/1/25: Miguel, the technician, reached out to me directly to apologize for our earlier interaction and offered to take another look at my car key issue. I was so impressed by his follow-through and the team made everything right.

Terrific service. I locked myself out of the house on a Friday night. After reaching out to them, they gave a reasonable quote and a good quick ETA. The responding technician showed up within about 25 min and got me in without any damages or hidden fees. I would definitely recommend them.

We needed three cabinets opened. It was a Thursday and the large company we usually use could not get out until the following Thursday. Wow came out the next day. The cabinets had to be rekeyed and they came out right away when the keys arrived.

Got us in easy. Quick callback. Way out in Canyon Lake but it did not take long. Wife saver.

I was locked out of my home the second day of New Year. Called many locksmiths but they were not about giving any type of deals or offering any discounts. He came through for us. Met me at my home when we agreed upon and within 10 minutes I was sitting on my couch sipping on coffee. I would highly recommend his services. And if needed will call him without hesitation.
Jodi H.

Super fast service. He was here within 20 minutes and had us back in the house within another 20. JP really came through and saved the day.

After looking for a couple days I figured my keys had to be locked in my car or lost. I explained my situation to Zach who was very understanding. He unlocked my locked car for me and helped look for the keys. Once we were not able to find them he reassured me, helped me get the best deal possible, and was even able to get new keys made for me the same night. I am very grateful for not only his work but how understanding and courteous he is.

Locked myself out, but had my cell phone. Called one company and they wanted $150. I called Wow and they said $95, so I agreed. 45 minutes later my locksmith came by and picked my lock in less than 5 minutes. Scary how fast a good locksmith can get into almost anything. Nice young gentleman, simple payment, and now I have a secret key so I do not do something stupid like this again.

Rudy came out quickly in the pouring rain and saved the day by getting access to my car where I had locked the keys inside. Being stranded with a toddler was not a fun way to start the weekend but he got us back on track. Response time was very quick and communication was excellent. Thank you Rudy and thank you to WOW Locks!
