What a Certified Mobile Emergency Locksmith Actually Brings to Your Door
"Mobile" is more than marketing for us — it defines how we work. Instead of asking you to tow a car or dismantle a lock and bring it to a storefront, our vans arrive stocked with key-cutting equipment, programming tools, replacement cylinders, and hardware for everything from a simple door knob lock to a heavy mortise lock on a century-old building. That means most jobs — lockouts, rekeys, repairs, and fresh installs — are finished in a single visit at your curb, driveway, or parking lot.
Our technicians are trained and experienced across the full range of modern and legacy hardware. A mortise lock behaves nothing like a standard deadbolt: it's built into a pocket cut in the door edge and combines the latch and bolt in one robust unit, common on older Bexar County homes and commercial glass doors. Knowing how these mechanisms differ lets us open, repair, or rekey them without needless damage — and we always aim for damage-free entry first, resorting to drilling only when a lock is already failed or seized.
Every technician is insured, and we confirm ownership before we ever open a door, whether that's a lease, a title, or a matching ID. That verification step protects you as much as it protects us, and it's a standard part of how a professional locksmith operates. If you're comparing your options, know that when you call (210) 512-4768 you're speaking with our team directly — not a middleman routing your job elsewhere.
24/7 Emergency Locksmith Response: From Your Call to Our Arrival
Lock trouble rarely respects business hours, which is why we run a true 24 hour emergency locksmith operation. When you call, the first thing we do is get the essentials: your location, what kind of lock or vehicle you're dealing with, and whether anyone or any pet is in immediate danger. That last question matters — a child or animal shut in a hot car gets prioritized immediately, and we'll tell you to call 911 first if there's any risk to their safety.
Next, we give you an honest arrival window based on where you are and current traffic. Because we dispatch locally within Bexar County, a technician near the Northwest Side or downtown can often reach you faster than a job dispatched from far outside the area. We won't promise an impossible number of minutes; instead we tell you a realistic time and keep you updated if anything changes so you're never left guessing in a parking lot.
When our technician arrives, they confirm the situation, verify ownership, and give you an exact, up-front price before any work begins. Nothing starts until you approve it. For an emergency lockout, that usually means a damage-free entry and, if you want it, a spare key or a rekey so the situation doesn't repeat. Locked out of your house at 3 a.m.? Call (210) 512-4768 — we answer around the clock.
Auto, Residential, and Commercial Locksmith Service Under One Number
Automotive work is one of our busiest categories. Locked out of your car with the keys on the seat, or worse, locked out with a child inside near a shopping center off 1604? We handle car, truck, motorcycle, and SUV lockouts, plus transponder and smart-key programming, key fob replacement, ignition repair, and broken-key extraction for most makes — Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and more. We open the door safely and, where a key is lost entirely, we can cut and program a working replacement on site.
For homes across San Antonio neighborhoods — from King William and Terrell Hills to newer developments near Stone Oak — we cover the full residential range: house lockouts, deadbolt installation, door knob lock replacement, mortise lock repair on older doors, patio and sliding-door locks, mailbox locks, garage entry doors, and complete lock rekeying so old keys stop working. If you've just moved or lost track of who has a copy of your key, a rekey is the smart, budget-conscious way to reset control of who can enter.
On the commercial side, our commercial locksmith service keeps San Antonio businesses, offices, and buildings secure: master key systems, high-security cylinders, panic and push bars for code compliance, storefront and aluminum-door hardware, file cabinet and desk locks, keypad and electronic access, and coordinated rekeys across multiple doors after staff changes. Whatever the setting, one number — (210) 512-4768 — connects you to a technician equipped for the whole job.

What Bexar County & the Bexar County area Customers Say
“I have a 2008 535i and had issues with the DME. I did some research and found this place. I have a spare car in my shop for parts and brought both DME and asked for a clone from one to the other. Withing 2hours it was ready. Very professional. They will work in any European car. Will highly recommend this place.”
“S.A. Locksmith & Security did a wonderful job coming out in a timely manner and getting my 2015 Porsche Macan S with same-day service got it done in less than 2 hours put everything back together like nothing ever happened. I'm very happy with the service and am definitely recommending them for anybody who has a Porsche. The dealership wanted over a thousand dollars they got it done for less than half excellent job!”
“Samuel was very professional and courteous. Took about 50 minutes from. Start to finish!! I lost both sets of keys so I was devastated. They asked me ahead of time to send a picture of my fab to ensure they had them in stock, I was so relieved when it was exactly what the dealership sent me home with/ no ghetto fab yay!!. The dealership was going to charge me $600 & I would have to tow my truck over there. Kuddos and much thanks, was so happy to be on my way!”
“We got locked out of our house late last night. Called SA Locksmith & Security, and received a call from Andy within minutes. He was very professional and courteous. He headed to our location immediately with an arrival estimate. We were able to enter the premises prior to his arrival (he was only 4 minutes out). Andy was very understanding and thankful we were able to rectify our situation without further intervention. We will definitely use SA Locksmith & Security again if needed for any locksmith needs. Thank you Andy for being so friendly and understanding!!!”
“An absolute AMAZING experience here. Broke my Mercedes keys, called at-least 10 different shops on a Sunday to no avail until I called S.A. Locksmith - they did it right away, were very communicative, and got me a good key at a good price! PLEASE GO HERE, other shops in the local area will WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!!!”

Frequently asked questions
How much does a local locksmith charge?
There's no single flat rate because the price depends on the job — the type of lock or vehicle, the parts needed, the time of day, and how far we travel. What stays consistent is that we assess your specific situation and confirm one exact, all-in price before any work begins, so you always approve the cost first.
What are the typical prices for locksmith services in San Antonio?
Prices scale with complexity: a straightforward house rekey costs differently than programming a smart key or repairing a mortise lock. Rather than quote a misleading range, we give you a precise up-front price for your exact job when we understand what's involved.
What is a locksmith call out fee, and what's the average?
A call out fee is the charge to send a technician to your location, covering the travel and the visit itself. The amount varies with distance and time of day, and we roll it into the single up-front total we give you before starting — no separate surprise charges after the fact.
How much should a locksmith cost per hour?
Most locksmith work is priced by the job rather than strictly by the hour, since a lockout, a rekey, and a key programming take very different amounts of time. We quote your complete job cost in advance so you know the full number, not just a running clock.
I'm locked out of my house with no key — what should I do?
First check for a spare with a trusted neighbor or family member and try any secondary doors or windows you'd normally use. If you're still stuck, don't force anything and risk damaging your door — call (210) 512-4768. We verify ownership, then use damage-free entry methods whenever possible to get you back inside.
Can you help if my child or pet is locked in a car?
Yes, and we treat it as an urgent priority. If there's any immediate danger from heat or distress, call 911 first, then call us at (210) 512-4768 — we'll get a technician to you as fast as we safely can and open the vehicle without damage.
Do you offer a real 24 hour emergency locksmith service?
We do. Our mobile team answers calls around the clock, every day, across Bexar County. When you call we give you an honest arrival window based on your location and traffic, and we keep you updated rather than promising an impossible exact minute.
Should I rekey my locks or replace them entirely?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work, which is ideal after moving, losing keys, or handing copies to others — it's often the smarter option if your hardware is in good shape. If a lock is worn, damaged, or outdated, replacement makes more sense, and we'll tell you honestly which fits your situation before quoting.
