I requested a key and key fob replacement for my older mustang. Garrett helped me with my car and through all of the quirks that it has. He was extremely patient, helpful, and went the extra mile to ensure that it was completed the same day. Extremely reasonable prices as well for all the hassle that he had to go through. They will get you right. read more

This was the best service for a stressful situation. I locked my keys in the car with the engine running and within 10min they found a locksmith to come help me - Dillon showed up in less than 10min and had my car unlocked in under 5min. He was extremely friendly and professional and quick! 10/10 recommend. Worth every penny! read more

I needed another key for my 2014 Honda CRV. I just walked in and in about 15 minutes, I had another key for my car. It had to be programmed to work with my car. Very reasonable price. Great professional service. I live in New Braunfels and it feels great to give them my business. Plus, I really needed their help. read more

Amazing and quick service. Customer service was perfect, Eddy took care of my issue in a matter of minutes.

Who would've known this tiny store has gun safes? My husband heard they did and we popped in to look at what they have. They probably have 15+ in different sizes and styles and they are very knowledgeable about them all. For a fee they offer delivery, which is good to know because they weigh so much. We will definitely be back when a decision is made. *Everything on the floor can be purchased and the prices are tax-free since these items are not supposed to be taxed in Texas. read more

I just want everyone to know about the outstanding service/help I received from everyone at "The Key Depot" especially Jason and Eddy. I have a 2004 Isuzu Rodeo that apparently has an imobilizer and after contacting several online locksmith's from the surrounding area and San Antonio, that didn't even want to help me because of the difficulties involved. I went to The Key Depot and Jason offered to help me. He was able research and find some aftermarket non OEM keys and they also helped me get the manufacturers key code and immobilizer security code. Eddy one of their car key experts diligently tried several software modules until he was successful and programmed/cut two keys for me. I really appreciate how far they went out of their way to help me out. Especially since I'm disabled and the only key I had was already falling apart. I would highly recommend "The Key Depot" for anyone's key/fab needs, because they will truly help you out as much as they can at a more than fair price. Thank again guys.

Delayed communication, no urgency, poor customer service! Manager KCruz was rude and appeared to not be interested in working with us. Doesn't appear they need the business, so we went elsewhere and you should too! read more

Asked for a rekey I was told 1 hour. Came back an hour later and was told I waited for no reason they can't do it "because it's hard". So I took my locks only for them to call me after driving 45 minutes away that they forgot to give me everything back. So I then asked for a key origination instead with the lock they forgot to give me. I was told it's ready two days later. Drove 45 mins to get there and was told they're not ready. They told me to wait while they start the job they accepted 2 days prior. Edit: Waited 2 hours in they store and then was forced out without help because they read this very review. Incompetent staff very unorganized. Please steer clear. read more

Lost my keys while at a park with my family. Was about to get scammed by a "contract locksmith" when I called The Key Depot. They came and took care of me and even helped right the wrong I had been given by the other "locksmith." Very friendly and honest! Can't recommend them enough. read more

Walked in after calling and told to come by. Then told once there that the person who could do it was out. Ok. That I needed to call and could have a mobile unit do it. Ok. Called today. Told to go to the store and that way I can get a quote and then the mobile person could come to me. What? I literally asked the person in the phone if they were the owner since I was doing him a favor. Maybe it's a great service but please get your act together and get the person who answered the phone today at 11:50 off of it if you want business. read more

I lost the key to my car, Key Depot not only had the best price I could find, but great customer service from the moment of me calling in inquiring to the tech leaving my home. Satisfied customer! Thank you Key Depot!! So Thankful to your wonderful staff! I appreciate it so much! read more

The Key Depot - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

See all

I called to ask a few questions about getting a new key for my car, the woman who answered had a horrible attitude, I was trying to ask about how much it would cost and she interrupted me saying "I don't know you have to bring the car here" I tried to tell her the make and model and she interrupted me saying "I don't know bring it in". The worst customer service I have ever gotten. read more

Never experienced someone so rude! By the owner!! Went into their shop and noticed all the huge gun cases. Jokingly said to the young man helping me that they'd make a nice room for my ex-wife. He laughed, I laughed, and we went on discussing fixing my lock that afternoon. So later that day, I returned 30 minutes earlier than when I was told to, but since the gentleman I was working with was on a service call, I was refused help. I explained to the I only followed what I was told, and the owner came running out shouting and yelling for me to get out of the store because she had overheard my conversation earlier in the day regarding my ex-wife. I was shocked! Why would she be eavesdropping on my conversation to begin with??? You'd think she'd have something more important to do. I apologized for offending her, but to no avail. Even called her back and explained I had no mal intent, and apologized again, and again to no avail. It's hard to believe they are still in business for 20 years when she abuses her customers so frequently as the reviews indicate. Maybe she was just having a bad day. It's a shame when business owners act as though their customers should feel privileged to do business with them. I've never been treated so rudely and unprofessionally. I mean what business is it of hers what I do with the gun safe??? In fact, if the woman actually knew my ex, she'd probably agree! Regardless, if the owner has been doing the same job for 20 years, she has no business in a position where she has to interact with people. Perhaps a data programming position would better suit her skill sets. Unless you enjoy being mistreated, and spoken to disrespectfully, I would highly recommend going anywhere else but Key Depot. And it's not just me, read the numerous reviews citing the SAME rude behavior by the owner. I seriously think it's time for retirement, because it's obvious she's unhappy with her life. read more

I recommend that everyone avoid doing business with the Key Depot at 386 Landa Street. Three days ago I purchased a digital door lock from them. I have 3 digital locks on my house doors. I had to replace 2 of them last year and thought I had to replace the third now. I purchased those first 2 from this company. When I opened the 3rd lock this morning I found that the problem was not the lock, but just a bad battery. When I tried to return the lock, I was told that their No Refunds policy applies to everything. This was not a "special order" item. It was a different color than the lock they had in stock. The package is unopened. To make things even worse, after I returned home, I decided to google this lock. I paid the Key Depot $243 for the lock - Home Depot sells it for $98.97!! I began using this company 10 years ago when I returned stateside and moved into my house in New Braunfels. I've had all locks changed, then the digital locks installed and more. It is obvious that there has been a change of ownership at this local store since then. It is no longer the customer friendly operation it was 10 years ago. I also imagine that many of the numerous BBB stickers on the front doors are for the previous owners. Avoid this business. read more

I always seek out local, small businesses to shop versus the Big Box stores. I went to The Key Depot to have four keys made from one master key. Three of the keys worked while the fourth wasn't cut correctly. So I made another 18 mile round trip to The Key Depot. The owner of this company is a sourpuss. He acted as if he was doing me a favor to recut the key. No apology was offered or no "thank you for your business, sir". read more

Garret did a quick and fantastic job from the New Braunfels, Tx. location.

Professional reasonable pricing fast service. The lovely lady made my keys and programmed them to my truck. Coming here now for my key needs

Great service and I was happy to find a locksmith with a physical location! Would happily use them again.

I had previously avoided key depot for the past 14 years I lived in New Braunfels because of the reputation they have for being expensive and not customer friendly. Recently I was in a jam and had to use them. It took 4 days before anyone got back to me despite me walking into the shop and asking for help. ( they told me a technician would call me back when they returned from the field). Long story short they pulled a bait and switch, scamming me out of a 50$ service call fee and asking for a second fee if they came back out to do the work properly and what I actually asked for and needed. Calle the owner back and she was rude and unhelpful. Will never go back and never recommend. read more

When a large south Texas auto dealership made me wait 3 days for an appointment, and then 3 hours at appointment with no progress for a duplicate truck key, I called, and went to The Key Depot! I had a Key, and remote made and programmed in 20 minutes. Great friendly service and convenient storefront location, unlike so many locksmiths who work out of their truck, and need hours to come to your house. Key Depot knows how to get it done, and done right!!! read more

Fantastic service. My key fob got wet and shorted out so my car would not start as the alarm shut it down. They came out in about 30 minutes and fixed the issue right away. 5 stars read more

Refused refund for key made with wrong blank. No refund policy on recite only. RUDE

The Key Depot was very fast and reasonably priced. They needed to order a part for my lock and got it within two days. They were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend! read more

It pains me to write this. They're very nice people. However, they have made a business decision that lacks a customer centric approach. Although they don't have the key blank in stock, they insist they order one even though I already have one. This is completely so they can make more money. They have a chance to make $40-75 to cut and program my blank. Instead, they say they don't want the risk of my blank not working (I'm willing to take that risk). I'm all for making money, but insisting I pay $250 to have them order a blank I already own is unacceptable. I write this for those customers that need a similar service. Hopefully this saves you the time it takes to make a trip to Key Depot. read more

Lost my truck key, called their office late morning and they offered to come out between 1-2p. Thank you for the Same Day Service!! Super friendly people came out to make us a new key and collect billing info. Very reasonable price too! $125 for a 2001 Ford Ranger, Replacement Key All around Great Experience. I would Highly Recommend this company. read more

We lost our keys tubing the river and I struck gold with this company. The serviceman was polite on the phone. He said he would come in 30 or 45 minutes but instead came in 20 minutes, to our relief. He was professional and quickly made us a new key and unlocked our car for only 175, much cheaper than other places. The Honda dealership was going to charge us 130 just for the key! Very highly recommended. He also takes credit cards/debit cards, which is a relief. read more

I got locked out of my house due to my dogs locking the sliding glass door behind me... what are the odds!!?? After calling another company who sent a shady guy out (who proceeded to try and inflate the price on me once he arrived) I called this company and they sent out a way more professional man who charged half of what the shady guy was trying to tell me. So glad I called for a second opinion! Thanks guys! read more

This is a cool lil'.. I guess you could call it a mom n pop type key shop (but they also do safes and I think he said security camera systems too). Professional yet one on one. Robert is a very nice and helpful man, that was able to explain things to me in an effortless manner. They should hold onto him. He is a true asset to this company. It's sooo interesting how a different personality can make such a difference in one's experience. Because we have had these keys made before and also had other dealings with different Key people, but none as gently nice as Robert. I hope they know he's a "KEY" to their continued success. It's pretty much right next to Dairy Queen- which is across ftom Das Rec. Peace and Blessings. read more

These people are thieves and liars. The most disturbing thing about Key Depot is that these dishonest employees know how to pick locks. Use any other resource for your home or auto needs because there is no telling what you might get charged. read more

Lady working was rude and be prepared to pay a percentage if you use a debit card. I understand cc fees but the item i bought was marked up like 40% from what I saw online. I will continue to support this small business but thought it was worth a review. read more

I would avoid this company at all cost. I scheduled to have them come to my home to cut and program a key for my 2014 Focus. I was quoted $180-$210 when the guy came to my house an hour late he then jumped the price to $250. The customer service was pretty much non existent and he could care less if we used their service or not. He then said he needed to hurry up because his next customer was a lock out and he had to get going. I told him I wasn't going to pay more then I was quoted and especially since he was an hour late. He said ok then and drove off.... read more

Very helpful and friendly staff. We have used them to make copies of our home and vehicle keys and all worked great. Highly recommend using them. read more

Cake from Amarillo and Lost my key in the lake called these guys out. Charged me 330$ for a key that doesn't lock or unlock the door and has to be put into a a lot in the console just to start the car. Called them back to fix the issue or give a partial refund. guy came out the next day and told me he couldn't get it to work. Talked to manager and the "only thing they can do" is give me a $30 refund. Completely unacceptable business. Lady on the phone was very rude and no one I spoke to had any compassion for the situation. Will not ever use this company again. 10/10 do not recommend. read more

I locked myself out of my house as I left for work and called the Key Depot. I live on the North side of Canyon Lake and the man said he would be out in about an hour but was there in 45 minutes! Jim was so professional and not only got me back in but rekeyed my door knob lock to match the dead bolt so I don't have to keep two keys on me. I would definitely recommend this business. I was on the road to work in no time! read more

Key Depot was fast and very professional. I waited 4 days for another company and turned to the Key Depot for assistance. From Call to completion it only took about 2 hours. Very well done and I will be using them in future. read more

I locked my door and had a locksmith arrive less than an hour after making the call. They sent out Jim. In less than 30 minutes the door was unlocked. Jim was extremely professional and did a great job. The total cost was $75. I'd highly recommend this locksmith company. read more

The girl that answered my call was so nice! I lost my vehicle keys and she sent out Daniel who is also the owner. He got here in less than an hour and was so polite. He made a new key and had me on my way in no time. The price was almost half of what the dealer wanted! I will definitely use them in the future and recommend them to my friends and family. read more

Eddy came to get my car unlocked after I accidentally left my keys in it yesterday at Schlitterbahn. We had just gotten there and parked and wanted to just get the keys now instead of waiting till after we were done in the park. He came and struggled with getting it open for a littler bit, but ended up getting to the door handle and opening it that way. The tool he used was a long metal rod with white plastic or rubber coating on it except for the last 6 inches of it, that part was exposed metal with a threaded and point. My husband even commented after he left how the rod was kind of weird and how the end was just exposed threading. He also used the inflatable bag to open the top corner of the door a little bit. We're young and have had a locksmith open our door before and no damage was done, so we didn't even think to check the door right then. Thinking about it now, it would have been good service for him to even suggest we check it out before we signed the receipt, we were in a rush to get into the park and just didn't even think to check for damages, a mistake on our part. The damages and awful customer service is On them though. Later that evening we noticed about 4 different damages. See attached pictures. The corner of my door was permanently bent outward due to the inflatable bag, the edging of the door frame is roughly scratched and the black coating is peeled off, there are deep scratches above the door handle, deep scratches near the lock button, the rubber coating around the door has a rip in it and the plastic frame the coating is attached to has deep scratches right next to the torn rubber spot. we noticed these after their business had closed so I decided to call the next morning. The woman I talked to wasn't rude at first but basically said we signed a "government" document and am calling the next day telling them about this and that they use metal tools to open the door so damages are possible but I signed the govt doc absolving them of anything. Which frustrated me because she just implied that they can damage your car but clearly won't help if you didn't notice so you went ahead and signed their receipt. So I told her it shouldn't have damaged my car in all those places and that water can actually get in my car now because of the damages they created, and she literally said, a bag won't rip rubber weather strip the metal tool he uses has a rubber tip on the end (which it didn't) and we signed the paper and were fine with it yesterday and are just now calling them about it(implying we made it up or are complaining about previously created damages). So I told her that she just said their tools are metal implying that damages are possible and now she's implying that we're lying. It was $60, I'm not chuffed about paying that and I wouldn't waste my or her time trying to lie to get refunded but since there are so many damages it's frustrating that I have to pay for shotty work and service. She just kept repeating that I signed a govt document and there's nothing she can do. It's kind of ridiculous that they wouldn't want to uphold good customer service and apologize for what happened and offer even a partial refund. She never apologized that they screwed my door up, she implied I was lying and refused to help or apologize because I signed the receipt. If she had been nice and just apologized I would have felt better about still having to pay for this. So, if you use them, check everything thoroughly before signing anything because that's their ticket to worming out of any damage or responsibility they caused. read more
