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.
24/7 Emergency Response — Every Day of the Year
Lock emergencies strike at midnight on Christmas Eve with the same indifference as a Tuesday afternoon. KeyNow Locksmith dispatches mobile locksmiths around the clock, 365 days a year — including all major holidays. When you call, a real technician answers, not a call center that patches you to an out-of-state contractor.
15–20 Minute Average Response Across DFW
Our mobile units are geographically dispersed across the greater Dallas area — not centralized in one garage. That's how we consistently arrive in 15–20 minutes for most calls in Dallas, Plano, Irving, and Arlington. When you call, we give you 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 OEM-equivalent key blanks and factory-approved programming protocols, not cheap aftermarket substitutes 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.
4.9-Star Rating Across 132+ Verified Reviews
Our reputation is earned one job at a time. With a 4.9-star average across 132+ verified customer reviews, we consistently deliver on our promises. We never pay for fake reviews — our ratings come from real Dallas-area customers who trusted us in their most stressful moments and called us back when they needed help again.
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.
