Yes. Immediate Response Locksmith is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Texas. Every technician undergoes thorough background checks and ongoing professional training.
Rekeying vs changing locks — what’s the difference?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work — faster and more affordable ($50–$100/lock). Ideal after moving or lost keys.
Changing locks replaces the entire lock hardware. Recommended if locks are old, damaged, or you want upgraded security.
Can you make transponder keys and key fobs on-site?
Yes. Our mobile units carry professional key-cutting and programming equipment. We cut and program transponder keys, duplicate key fobs, and replace smart keys for most vehicles at your location — no dealership trip needed.
Do you install smart locks?
We install and configure all major smart lock brands — August, Yale, Schlage, Kwikset, Ring. Keypad deadbolts, fingerprint locks, Wi-Fi locks, Bluetooth locks — we help you choose and set it up properly.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Payment upon completion — no upfront charges.
Lock repair or replacement — which do I need?
Key sticking or bolt not extending smoothly? May need repair ($50–$75). If the lock is old, corroded, or forced — replacement is usually more cost-effective. We’ll give you an honest assessment.
Can you help with a house or apartment lockout?
Absolutely. Technicians arrive in under 20 minutes and open your door without damage. We also offer emergency rekeying if you’ve lost your keys.
