Locked out at 2 AM near Rainey Street, or standing beside your car in a South Lamar parking lot with the keys in plain sight: the moment is stressful enough without a very low phone quote turning into a much bigger bill at the door. WOW Locks publishes the numbers. A car lockout is $89 and a home or business lockout is $109, before tax. We take calls 24 hours a day, and any add-on that applies, such as after-hours service, is quoted on the call before dispatch.

  • 2 AM apartment lockout

    You are locked out of an apartment after a late shift and the door is a standard deadbolt. The technician checks a government-issued ID and a signed authorization that you live there or may enter, as Texas law requires. A lease, a utility bill or a call to the property manager can support it. Then the door is opened without damage where possible. A home lockout is $109 before tax. An after-hours add-on, if it applies, is quoted on the call before dispatch.

  • Keys inside the car, push-to-start model

    The fob is in the cup holder and the doors are locked. Long-reach tools and an air wedge open the door while protecting the weather seals and paint. A car lockout is $89 before tax. Vehicle surcharges apply to key programming, not to opening the door, so a push-to-start model does not add a charge to a lockout.

  • House lockout on a festival weekend

    A guest in a short-term rental is locked out with no spare key and no way to reach the host. The technician gets the owner's authorization by phone, collects the guest's government-issued ID and a signed authorization, and opens the standard deadbolt without damage where possible. A home lockout is $109 before tax, and any add-on that applies is quoted on the call.

How We Save Your Day

The Hero Protocol

  1. Step 1

    Call us

    Tell the dispatcher your exact location and lock or vehicle type. The dispatcher quotes the price from the rate card, including any add-on that applies, before any truck moves.

  2. Step 2

    Technician dispatched

    A licensed technician is dispatched. Ask for an estimated arrival time on the same call. Arrival depends on distance, traffic and where the nearest technician is.

  3. Step 3

    Non-destructive entry

    The technician uses picking, long-reach tools or an air wedge depending on the lock. Drilling is a last resort and is discussed with you before it happens.

  4. Step 4

    You are back inside

    Entry is confirmed and the invoice is reviewed on site. If a rekey or a spare key is needed, the technician can quote it on the same visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does lockout service cost in Austin?

A car lockout is $89 and a home or business lockout is $109, plus $40 for each additional lock, before tax. After-hours and distance add-ons can apply, and every add-on is quoted on the call before dispatch.

Do locksmiths use non-destructive entry?

WOW Locks attempts non-destructive entry first, such as picking, bypass or entry tools, and only drills or cuts a lock if those fail. A drill-or-cut fee of $40 applies in that case and is explained and approved by you first.

How do I get an estimated arrival time for a lockout?

Call (844) 969-5625. The dispatcher gives you an estimated arrival time for your address and the price before anyone is dispatched. Actual arrival depends on distance, traffic and where the nearest technician is.

Can you unlock my apartment at 2 AM?

Yes, WOW Locks takes calls 24 hours a day. An after-hours add-on can apply and is quoted with the total on the call before dispatch. Have a government-issued ID ready. Texas law also requires a signed authorization that you live there or may enter, which the technician has you sign on site.

What if I am locked out of my office or business?

A business lockout is $109 before tax. Tell the dispatcher which door it is and whether you are the tenant or owner, because the technician may ask for proof. The commercial locksmith page covers office needs beyond the lockout.

Is WOW Locks licensed for lockout work?

Yes. WOW Locks LLC holds Texas DPS (TOPS) license B10595301, which you can verify on the Texas DPS TOPS portal, and the company is insured and bonded.
