How We Save Your Day
The Hero Protocol
- Step 1
Call and describe
Tell us the situation: lockout, rekey, install or upgrade. The dispatcher quotes the rate card price, asks what hardware you have, and gives you an estimated arrival time for lockouts.
- Step 2
Confirm and dispatch
The price is confirmed before dispatch. Lockouts are dispatched as soon as you approve the quote. Rekeys and installs can be arranged for a time that suits you.
- Step 3
Technician on site
Arrival for a lockout depends on distance, traffic and where the nearest technician is. The dispatcher gives you an estimate for your address.
- Step 4
Rekeyed, installed, and secured
The work is done and tested, and the invoice is reviewed with you before you pay. Time depends on the number of locks and the hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a residential locksmith cost in Austin?
A home lockout is $109 and a residential rekey is $30 per lock with a 3-lock minimum, before tax. A new deadbolt or doorknob is $90 for the work, hardware extra. Smart lock installation is a custom quote. Add-ons are quoted on the call.
Should I rekey or replace my locks when I move into a new home?
Rekey if the locks are in good shape: it makes every old key stop working and costs less than new hardware. Replace locks that are worn, damaged or low quality. The dispatcher can tell you which fits when you describe the locks.
Can you key all my locks to one key?
Often yes. Locks can share one key when their cylinders and keyways are compatible, which is easiest within one brand. Mixed brands or a different keyway may need a new cylinder. Tell the dispatcher how many locks and which brands, and the quote comes before dispatch.
I am locked out of my house right now. What should I do?
Call (844) 969-5625. The dispatcher asks for your address and which door, quotes the price, including any add-on, and gives you an estimated arrival time. The technician asks for a government-issued ID and a signed authorization that you live there or may enter, as Texas law requires, before opening a door.
Do you install deadbolts and smart locks?
Yes. A new deadbolt or doorknob is $90 for the work with hardware extra, and smart lock installation is a custom quote. You can supply your own lock or ask WOW Locks to quote one.
What do BHMA grades mean on a deadbolt?
BHMA is the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association. Its residential deadbolt standard uses letter grades for security, durability and finish, with A the best. The numeric Grade 1 to 3 on some locks comes from other BHMA standards. Check the model's label or spec sheet for its actual rating.
Is WOW Locks licensed to do this work in Texas?
Yes. WOW Locks LLC holds Texas DPS (TOPS) license B10595301, which you can verify on the Texas DPS TOPS portal before anyone arrives. The company is also insured and bonded.
