Why Dallas Chooses KeyNow Locksmith
More than a locksmith service — a licensed, local security partner with skin in the game. Founded in Dallas. Serving DFW since 2019.
Our Differentiators
What Sets KeyNow Locksmith Apart
Eight reasons Dallas residents, commuters, and business owners choose us — and keep coming back.
Same-Day Mobile Dispatch — Sun-Thu 8a-10p · Fri 8a-3p · Holidays Included
Lock emergencies strike at unpredictable hours, and our same-day service window covers most of them. KeyNow Locksmith dispatches mobile locksmiths Sun-Thu 8 AM-10 PM and Fri 8 AM-3 PM — holidays included; closed Saturdays. When you call, a real technician answers, not a call center that patches you to an out-of-state contractor.
Mobile Units Staged Across DFW
Our mobile units are geographically dispersed across the greater Dallas area — not centralized in one garage. That's how we maintain coverage across Dallas, Plano, Irving, and Arlington. When you call, we dispatch the closest available licensed technician and share an honest ETA based on real-time location — not an optimistic guess.
Texas DPS Licensed, Bonded and Insured
KeyNow Locksmith holds a Texas DPS Alarm & Locksmith License — the state-required credential for all professional locksmith businesses in Texas. We're also fully bonded and carry comprehensive liability insurance, so your property is protected against any accidental damage during service.
Locally Owned and Operated Since 2019
We're not a national chain that franchises out to anonymous contractors. KeyNow Locksmith was founded in Dallas in 2019 and every technician is a direct employee we personally hire, train, and background-check. Our community reputation is everything to us — which is why we never cut corners or send untrained staff.
Certified Technicians, Factory-Grade Parts
Our locksmiths train continuously on the latest lock technology — from classic Schlage B-series deadbolts to modern RFID access control and proximity key programming for vehicles. We use professional-grade aftermarket key blanks and factory-approved programming protocols, not the cheap blanks that fail within months.
Fully Equipped Mobile Units — No Return Trips
Every van carries key cutting equipment, lock pick sets, transponder programming devices (covering 95% of makes and models 1998–2026), and a full inventory of high-security residential hardware. We resolve over 97% of calls in a single visit — no "I need to order the part" excuses.
Upfront Pricing — Zero Hidden Fees
You receive a firm price quote before we begin any work. We don't add "diagnostic fees," "trip charges," or after-service surcharges. The number we give you on the phone is the number on your receipt. For complex jobs, we provide a written estimate on-site before touching anything.
Damage-Free Entry & 90-Day Workmanship Warranty
Every lockout we open is opened with non-destructive tools — no drilled cylinders, no damaged frames, no scratched paint. We back that with a written damage-free entry guarantee on standard auto and residential lockouts. Every install, rekey, key program, and ignition repair we complete carries a 90-day labor warranty. If something we did stops working, we come back and fix it.
License Verification & Credentials
The State of Texas requires all locksmith businesses to hold an Alarm & Locksmith License issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety Regulatory Services Division. KeyNow Locksmith is fully licensed and compliant.
You can independently verify our license status at any time on the official Texas DPS Alarm & Locksmith Services Portal. We encourage customers to verify any locksmith's credentials before opening their door — an unlicensed operator has no accountability, no insurance, and no legal obligation to professional standards.
Beyond state licensure, every KeyNow Locksmith technician passes a criminal background check, completes our internal skills assessment, and must demonstrate competency with automotive transponder programming, residential lock picking and rekeying, and commercial hardware installation before dispatching on solo calls.
