Universal City covers ZIP code 78148 in northeast Bexar County, sharing its eastern boundary with Joint Base San Antonio Randolph. The dense rental housing market built around base proximity means PCS rekeys are the single largest call category, with Air Force families cycling through 12 and 24 month rotations and requesting rekeys on rentals nearly every week of the year. Pat Booker Road and FM 78 retail add moderate weekend automotive lockouts. Older 1970s and 1980s housing stock requires full deadbolt and knob replacement on a meaningful share of jobs because original hardware has worn past usable. Local technicians stationed throughout Universal City respond from staging near the Pat Booker Road and Randolph-adjacent rental corridor. Flat rate confirmed before dispatch.

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.
