Common questions about locksmith costs and regulations in Austin.
How much does a locksmith cost in Austin?
In Austin, a house lockout typically costs $80–$185, with an average of around $128. Car lockouts run $42–$125. Prices vary by time of day, service type, and how complex the lock is.
What is the average locksmith call-out fee in Austin?
Most Austin locksmiths charge a service call fee of $42–$83 just to show up, separate from the work itself. Always confirm whether the quoted price includes the call-out fee or if it's added on top.
How do I avoid locksmith scams in Austin?
Austin has documented locksmith scam operations that advertise $15–$35 online rates then charge 3–5x that amount on arrival. Protect yourself by: getting a total price estimate before they come, asking for their TX licence number, checking reviews on Google Maps, and avoiding cash-only companies with no local address.
Are locksmiths licensed in TX?
Yes — Texas requires locksmiths to be licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). Always ask for a locksmith's licence number before they begin work.
What should I do if I'm locked out in Austin?
First, check if any windows or other doors are unlocked. If you rent, call your landlord or property manager — they may have a spare key. If you own or your landlord isn't available, call a verified locksmith. Use this directory to find one in Austin and check the price range before calling to avoid being overcharged.
How much does an after-hours locksmith cost in Austin?
After-hours locksmith calls in Austin typically add $25–$75 on top of regular rates. A house lockout that costs $128 during the day may run $178–$203 at night or on weekends. Always ask for the total after-hours price before the locksmith comes out.
How long does a locksmith take to arrive in Austin?
Most Austin locksmiths quote a 15–30 minute arrival window for standard lockout calls. Response times vary by area and time of day — busier parts of Austin may take longer. If a locksmith quotes more than 45 minutes, it's worth calling another provider from this directory.
