Replacement key · Ford F-150
Had a replacement key made for my 2011 F-150 with remote start and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly Professional, quick service, and it works perfectly.

Upfront pricing
Alexey was punctual and his price stated was the price at the end. Having dealt with previous locksmiths giving the run around and upping the price when the service was completed, this was very stress free and professional.

Rental door
Alex was amazing! He secured a door for us in our Airbnb quickly and efficiently! It looks like we bought it from the store that way!

Gate lock repair
I had an electric strike lock on my gate that needed repair. 6 other locksmiths had already said they had no clue how to fix it or it was out of their scope. Alexey came out … and fixed it within 20 minutes.

Lock repair
Super impressed with their fast and honest work. I had an old lock that was sticking and hard to turn. They cleaned it up and made it work like new again. Didn’t try to sell me anything unnecessary.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers for drivers, homeowners, property managers and business owners.

Can you program a smart key fob without going to the dealer?

Yes, for many vehicles. We cut and program push-to-start smart key fobs on-site for domestic, Asian and European makes, starting at $250, so you skip the tow and the dealer wait. A few vehicles need dealer-only procedures, so give us the year, make and model and we'll confirm before we book.

How much does a replacement car key or key fob cost?

A transponder key, cut and programmed, costs $120 to $180. A smart key fob or push-to-start key starts at $250. The exact price depends on your vehicle's year, make and model, and you get it before we dispatch.

What if I've lost all my car keys?

We can make a new key from scratch where your car is parked, so you don't need a tow to the dealer. On-site, we need your photo ID and the registration or title. Give us the year, make and model and we'll quote the exact price before we dispatch: transponder keys run $120 to $180, and smart key fobs start at $250.

Do you use dealer (OEM) or aftermarket key fobs?

It depends on your vehicle and which keys and fobs are available for it. We tell you which options fit your car, and the price of each, before we start, so you choose.

How much does a locksmith cost in The Woodlands, Spring, Tomball, Cypress or Katy?

At American Locksmith Services LLC, standard rates are a $25 dispatch fee (credited toward your job), $85 and up for a car lockout, $150 for a house lockout, $45 per cylinder for a residential rekey, and $75 for a commercial service call or $75 per hour of commercial labor. Every rate is listed in our pricing menu, and you get your exact total before we dispatch.

How fast can you get here?

We offer same-day mobile service Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 9 PM. When you call, we give you an arrival time based on your location and our schedule, so call early for the best availability. Rekeys, smart key programming and commercial work can also be booked for a specific date. Requests sent after 9 PM or on Sunday are answered when we open at 7 AM.

Do you rekey homes for new owners, renters and realtors?

Yes. We rekey listings and newly purchased homes so old keys stop working, at $45 per lock cylinder, scheduled around your showing or closing date. Agents need the seller's written authorization or the listing agreement. New owners need a photo ID and their closing documents.

Do you charge hidden fees?

No. Honest Pricing Guarantee: The price you are quoted is the price you pay. No hidden fees, no unnecessary lock drilling. The only additions are ones we tell you about upfront: a 3% processing fee on credit card payments, and parts on jobs priced "+ parts," which we quote before installing.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. American Locksmith Services LLC is licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety as a locksmith company (license #B19937101) under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1702, which covers installing, servicing and rekeying locks and other mechanical security hardware. We carry general liability insurance and can send a certificate of insurance before the job.

Do you work with property managers and landlords?

Yes. American Locksmith Services LLC works with property managers, landlords and HOAs across The Woodlands, Spring, Tomball, Cypress and Katy, Texas. We handle tenant-turnover rekeys, master key systems, eviction lock changes, door closers and panic bars, scheduled around your turnover dates. Invoicing and a certificate of insurance are available on request.

Can you set up a master key system for my building?

Yes. A master key system lets owners and managers open every door with one key, while each tenant or employee opens only their own. Consultation and setup start at $250. We design the key plan, rekey the cylinders on-site and cut the keys, and you get your exact price before work begins.

Do you install and repair panic bars and exit devices?

Yes. Panic bar and exit device installation starts at $450, and service on an existing device is $350. We install new devices and repair or adjust existing ones so the door latches, locks and releases properly. Tell us the door and the current hardware, and we'll quote the job before we schedule it.

Do you handle eviction and REO lock changes?

Yes. We rekey or change locks for landlords, property managers and asset managers when a writ of possession is executed and on bank-owned (REO) properties. Before we start, we need the writ of possession, court order or bank work order. Residential rekeys are $45 per cylinder. Commercial rekeys are $95 for the first lock and $75 for each additional lock on the same visit.
