I bought an used car with two key fobs, but with only one emergency key. Most places only sell a complete key fob. You cannot buy the mechanical emergency key only. So, I bought a blank key online. This place is willing to cut my blank key for $5. The…

Scott came out and repaired a 23+ year old mortise lock perfectly. The original install wasn't done properly. He completely rebored holes, trimmed metal and installed it properly. Fixed the original cause, plus our door works flawless and super smooth! So smooth that we keep saying "wow" everytime we open…

So today I planned on going to some random local locksmith during my lunch break to get a broken key pulled out of a lock. Right as I left my office building, I saw one of Action Lock's Work-vans in the parking lot. The guy inside was named Scott I…

Today I had Ryan from Action Lock Doc check and fix the locks on three doors. He was so efficient and answered all my questions. The price charged was SO reasonable. I was very surprised! I highly recommend Action Lock Doc for their services. Ask for Ryan!

WHAT WE DO

Residential & commercial locksmith services

One local shop for every lock in your home or business — and technicians who actually explain your options.

Lockout service

Locked out of your house or business? We get you back inside without damaging your door or hardware.

Door lock repair & replacement

Sticking front doors, worn mortise locks, patio and sliding door hardware, even antique locks — repaired or replaced.

Deadbolts & door hardware

New deadbolt installation, handlesets, and window locks installed properly the first time — not just tightened.

Rekeying &
lock changes

New home, past tenant, or a key you can't account for? We retire old keys without replacing good hardware.

Smart locks & keyless entry

Keypad, electronic, and smart lock installation — sized to your door and set up so it actually works.

Safe sales
& service

Home and business safes sold, delivered, opened, and serviced — including safe repair and combination changes.

Upgrade your security

High security locks for the doors that matter most

Most front doors come with builder-grade hardware. We install high security locks and restricted keyways built to resist picking, drilling, and bumping — so a copy of your key can't be made at a kiosk.

  • Honest recommendations — we'll tell you when repair beats replacement
  • Transparent pricing quoted before any work starts
  • Hardware we stock, service, and stand behind

A real local shop

Not a call center — a Richardson storefront with 50 years behind it

Search "locksmith near me" and most results are national dispatch services that subcontract your job. We're a family owned shop on N Plano Rd. The person who answers the phone works here, and the technician who shows up does too.

Fast response times

Mobile trucks stocked for most jobs in one visit.

Walk-ins welcome

Keys cut and locks rekeyed at the counter, Mon–Fri.

Licensed & insured

Texas locksmith license #B12654, fully insured, and an ALOA member shop.

4.9 stars, 300+ reviews

Homeowners, property managers, and major DFW brands alike.

Transparent pricing

You approve the price before we touch a lock. No surprise add-ons.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

How fast can you get to me if I'm locked out?

Call us and we'll give you a real arrival window before you hang up. Our trucks run out of Richardson, so Richardson, Plano, and Garland are typically the quickest.

Should I rekey my locks or replace them?

If the hardware is in good shape, rekeying is faster and cheaper — we change the internal pins so old keys stop working. Replacement makes sense when locks are worn, damaged, or you want a security or style upgrade. We'll tell you which one you actually need.

Do you install smart locks and keyless entry?

Yes — keypad, electronic, and smart locks for homes and businesses. We'll confirm the model fits your door prep and set it up correctly, whether you bought the lock or you'd like us to supply it.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We're a fully licensed and insured Texas locksmith (license #B12654) and a member of ALOA, the Associated Locksmiths of America.

How does your pricing work?

You get a clear price before work begins. No bait-and-switch service fees, no surprise add-ons once the technician is at your door.

Is the work warrantied?

Yes — hardware we install carries a 1-year warranty on parts and labor.

Do you sell and service safes?

We do — home and business safes, plus safe opening, combination changes, and repairs on safes you already own.
