After-hours lockout at a South Congress boutique
A retail manager finished the closing walk-through and discovered the keyed deadbolt would not retract. The key turned but the bolt stayed. WOW Locks arrived at the South Congress location within 28 minutes. The technician diagnosed a worn cam in the Corbin Russwin cylinder and extracted it without drilling. A replacement cylinder from van stock was installed and keyed to the existing master. Total downtime: under 40 minutes.
-
Access control upgrade at a Domain tech-campus office
A software company at the Domain needed to replace physical keys with fob-based access after a former employee did not return credentials on their last day. WOW Locks assessed the existing door hardware, installed Schlage CO-series readers on three entry points, programmed the credential database with 22 active fobs, and deactivated the former employee's access within the same visit. The company manager had full audit log access by end of day.
-
Master key system for an East Austin apartment complex
A property manager near East 6th Street needed a master key system for a 24-unit building where every previous tenant had a copy of the same key. WOW Locks rebuilt the key hierarchy using Schlage B-series cylinders with a restricted keyway. Maintenance staff received one master key covering all units. Each tenant received a change key for their unit only. The old keys were fully invalidated without replacing hardware.

~5 min - Step 3

What types of Austin businesses do you serve?
WOW Locks serves restaurants, retail stores, law offices, medical practices, tech companies, property management firms, warehouses, and multi-tenant commercial buildings across Austin. We have worked on everything from converted bungalows along South Lamar to high-rise office towers at the Domain and downtown. If the building has a commercial-grade lock on it, we service it.
Do you work on high-security commercial locks?
Yes. WOW Locks installs and services Medeco, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, and Schlage Primus cylinders with restricted keyways. These locks carry pick and drill resistance ratings that standard commercial hardware does not. They also provide key control, meaning new keys cannot be cut at a hardware store without authorization. We recommend them for businesses with high employee turnover or sensitive access areas.
What is your response time for commercial calls in Austin?
The Austin metro average is 25-35 minutes for commercial lockout calls. The Domain, downtown, and South Congress corridors are typically 15-20 minutes. The dispatcher gives an exact ETA based on where the nearest technician is positioned at the time of your call. For non-emergency jobs like master key system installations, we schedule within 24-48 hours.
Are you licensed and insured for commercial locksmith work in Texas?
Yes. WOW Locks holds Texas DPS Locksmith License #B10595301, is fully bonded, and carries commercial liability insurance. You can verify the license at the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lookup portal using that number. Every technician dispatched on a commercial job is a licensed employee, not a subcontractor.
