I've used Mister Key's fantastic reliable service twice now and will be recommending him to local friends. The first time he helped us change multiple locks after a move-in, plus he adjusted a very crooked doorknob and put in a peephole at a height accessible for a wheelchair user. (I really appreciated that he asked me for my input and had me test the height before drilling. He never once commented on or asked about my disability, just treating me with friendly respect like any other customer.) He also tried to rework a smaller lock system for us with multiple trips to the hardware store and was honest with us about why it wouldn't be possible, with suggestions for what else to try that was beyond his scope. Though I suspect that was frustrating for him, he never got angry but stayed level-headed and kind. Weeks later he came by to fix a mistake I made in buying an extra key at the Minute Key at the hardware store. Though he'd given us plenty of good quality extra keys, I was tempted by the pretty design. I had even splurged on whatever extra pricey service the Minute Key offered to buff the edges of the key so it'd be "guaranteed" to work better. And what did it do? The very first time I put it in the lock, it got so stuck it wouldn't even turn! A family member experienced in these things tried graphite on it and it wouldn't budge, but I knew John would be able to help. He came out promptly, didn't give me a lecture or anything about using the Minute Key (I was already so embarrassed) and made sure I knew he could always provide me with good quality extra keys. After he got the bad key out, he did a good job explaining why the lock was technically useable but might be damaged and at risk for getting stuck again. He knew we're on a budget, so I appreciated having an affordable option with the risks explained, but in the end I decided to have him re-install a new deadbolt. He got the job done quickly and carefully at a very reasonable price. I feel safer with new locks in place and also safer knowing John is just a text or call away if I make another mistake (though I promise I've learned my lesson)! Thanks, John! read more

Wonderful service and very attentive to detail and helpful. John rekeyed an electronic lock for use. He was on time, and professional. He was called for a rekey, and was able to schedule us for the next day after we called him in the evenin. He even adjusted the door hinges. Door and latch closed much better than it did before the door was rekeyed. I did not even know it was possible to improve the latching. Definintely great value for the price. And a better working door than before. read more

Amazing! Did such a great job and was so fast and easy to work with. Can't recommend enough

Mister Key was very responsive, and the pricing was reasonable. They had everything done in less than an hour. I'm very pleased with the work, and I'll definitely use them again. Thanks a bunch!! read more

Responded fast, got to my location fast, and unlocked my vehicle fast. Would use again if needed!

I hired John at MisterKey to replace the locks on an antique cabinet so that we could lock it. (The antique keys had been lost.) Initially after he gave me a quote, I thought it was expensive and shopped around. but I quickly learned that no one else could do it any cheaper or was wven willing to take this unique job. additionally, he was willing to come out very promptly, whereas another local locksmith I communicated with was hard to get a hold of and slow to respond. Needless to say, I realized Mister Key's quote was fair and I hired them! John found hardware to fit with the existing faceplates and installed it for us quickly! Now we have two elegant skeleton keys and an antique cabinet that locks, with no appearance of any updates or changes. From our experience, John is prompt, communicative, resourceful, and has competitive pricing. read more

AWESOME!! I read the reviews before calling, and the glowing reviews are all RIGHT! He's kind. He's communicative. He's on time. He is tidy. His prices are perfect. Mister Key is even funny and empathetic. He didn't want me to sleep in a house with an unlocked front door, and I'm so GRATEFUL! (Not adding a picture. This is about security, y'all.) read more

Had everything taken care of within a half hour. They responded right away and were there 10 mins later. Great

This guy just said "not interested" when I said "good morning," and then hung up on me. He then proceeded to hang up several times. I eventually got through to him again--I wanted to make sure I was calling the right number, because that felt super unprofessional. Sure enough, it was Mister Key. Maybe he's just grumpy in the morning, but I decided not to give him my business. read more

I went to check the safe for my family's passports as we were set to travel internationally in the following days. I hit the first number on the safe and it died. That's when I realized the battery compartment was inside the safe... dumb! John came out within the hour of me calling. He got all my needed documents out safely and saved me hundreds of dollars with educating me on key replacement for the safe. He made sure to clean up all trash and debris from getting into the safe. He was very professional and good with my dogs. I will be using Mister Key for ALL of our locksmith needs in the future. Thanks so much. read more

I hired Mister Key to address an issue a friend was having with her door lock. He told me he'd be by at 11am. He calls at 11:10a and tells me he'd be there in 30 mins. My friend had to leave for work so she left her 86 year old mother, who can barely hear, to wait by the front door for him. An hour later he finally arrives, and I had to step into a Training session at work. During my Training he had called me 13 times in a matter of 15 minutes. Finally he texted and said he wanted his payment immediately. I sent him a quick text back telling him to stop calling and that I'd pay as soon as I was released from Training. He told me he doesn't do business that way, that he collects as soon as the job was finished. So, instead of waiting, he banged on the door frightening the elderly mother. I just happened to walk out Training when my friend called asking me to respond back to Mister Key because her mother was scared. Had I known that payment was due upon completion, I would've made arrangements for that. Mister Key was not punctual and he was absolutely horrible to work with. I will never use his service again, and I'll be sure post this review on our neighborhood FB page so everyone in our area can be warned. read more

Johnny is absolutely incredible. Great pricing, very responsive, professional. I have been using Johnny for about 5 years now

I had a tenant ready to move in, and was unable to get into the house through the electronic keypad, so I needed service quickly. I called & was given an ETA of 20 minutes!

Mister Key responded in like 2 minutes, offered a very reasonable price (cheaper than what majority of the other companies ended up offering), and was here within a few hours. He fixed the lock in no time! Plus he was polite and cleaned up after the job. Will definitely use again if needed and highly recommend! read more

These guys really helped- after locking my keys in my car, they were prompt, courteous and reasonably priced. They arrived very close to the time they estimated (12-15 minutes) and had my car open in 2 minutes. I thought I was gonna be out at least $200 but was pleasantly surprised to find it was much less and there weren't any hidden travel or convenience fees! Well worth it. read more

Set flat fee for even more locks than I needed (better than too few as some other companies had). Returned called when it got dropped. Prompt arrival and so fast once he was here!! I would recommend to him to all my friends and neighbors! read more

This man killed it. I called him and he was here in 20 minutes. Listened to my situation first before trying to jump in and "just fix", explained what he was going to do before he started anything and got it all done from arrival to departure in 20 minutes. We were in our place in under 2 minutes from when he got his tools. He was very professional and left a good taste in my mouth. Worth every penny. read more

Locked myself out of my car today after getting groceries and was panicking looking for a locksmith. Mister Key was the first to respond - and, within a couple messages exchanged, was on his way. He was at my location within 20 minutes, and had my car unlocked in seconds. He was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and offered a very fair rate. I would definitely call him again if I ever needed a locksmith in the future! read more

Everything you could hope a locksmith would be: responsive, reliable, does quality work, friendly. Mister Key went above and beyond: he called in the morning to confirm the appointment, he showed up on time, he was even extremely nice to my dog! I had a situation with a keypad and he was able to figure it out even though he had to do some extra research. He made sure I felt comfortable with the work he did before asking for payment, and then his prices were great! He also made sure to text me a receipt since he knew in my situation I'd need record of having to have my locks changed. Fantastic locksmith, and also just a hardworking, nice person. 10/10 recommend read more

A broken lock cylinder was preventing me from unlocking my front door. I had other entry doors so this wasn't an emergency. Nonetheless, John, Mister Key's owner, was able to accommodate me quickly. He was pleasant and efficient and he solved my problem easily. The fee was $160 plus tax. I did not obtain competitive bids. I felt the price was OK for a service that required a house call from an experienced business owner and I have no complaints. I'd use Mister Key again. read more

Needed few locks rekeyed. Scheduled the service and communication on timing was consistent and clear. Will use again of the need arises. All in all great value for the amount of work. read more

Needed to get a rental rekeyed. Prompt and fair pricing. Juliet the dog elevated the experience. Would call again.

5/5 stars easily. Guys, ladies. If you're reading this keep reading. This guy is an amazing person, and perfect professional. I just had what started out as and was going to end as the worst day probably in many years, culminating in me not having the keys to my own home, hearing my little puppy crying out knowing that I'm home but can't get in. It was just plain awful. Master Key was there 20 minutes after we got off the phone, and had me in my house not more than 10 minutes after that. He was humble, friendly, collaborative, and knew exactly what the options were and how we could do them. If your locked out, need a hand, and don't really know what the options are, he's your guy. Also, he brought a cute dog with him, that was super well behaved and very friendly. 5/5!!! read more

I managed to lock my keys in my car a few nights ago in a south Austjn parking lot. I got on the Yelp app, and put out a request for locksmiths in the area. John, with Mister Key, contacted me right away. It was late, all the businesses were closed, and I was scared and in tears. He reassured me that he would get to me soon, and help me out. No more than 15 minutes later, he was in the parking lot. Only took him about 5 minutes to get me into my car after that. He accepted CashApp and Zelle, which made payment easy. Pricing was more that reasonable, especially given his excellent and quick service! Thanks Mister Super Key! read more

Needed a quick rekey and some lock fixes in a few doors and John was able to get things locked up again. He had to come out to the Round Rock area on short notice and had no problem fitting us in.
