Where we cover

How a service call works

When you call Lone Star Lock Co for an automotive lockout or key service in Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, or The Woodlands, we dispatch the nearest technician and provide you with an estimated arrival time. Upon arrival, our tech verifies your vehicle ownership through registration or ID, assesses whether we're handling a lockout, transponder programming, ignition repair, or all-keys-lost situation, and completes the work on-site. For lockouts, we use non-destructive entry methods that protect your truck or car's paint and trim. For key and fob programming, we have mobile equipment that cuts and programs keys while you wait. We accept cash, card, and digital payment, and we're available 24/7 for emergency calls across Harris County.

Common questions

I'm locked out of my truck in the Galleria area during rush hour. How quickly can Lone Star Lock Co get to me?

We usually arrive within 30 to 45 minutes for Galleria-area calls, depending on traffic on the Westloop or 610. We dispatch the nearest technician and provide real-time updates so you know exactly when we're arriving. Call us and we'll get your truck open without damaging the door or window.

My Ford F-150 lost all keys after a move from Katy to Montrose. Can you make new keys from scratch?

Yes, we handle all-keys-lost situations for trucks and SUVs common throughout Houston and Harris County. We'll verify your ownership, cut new keys, and program transponders and fobs on-site. The whole process usually runs $150 to $350 depending on your vehicle's year and model.

Will making new keys disable my old spare key that I found in a drawer?

Not automatically. If your spare is still in good condition and matches your vehicle's system, it will continue to work unless you reprogram the vehicle's security system. We can help you determine whether your spare is usable or if reprogramming is necessary to protect your car.

My ignition switch is sticking in my older Montrose bungalow's garage. Is this something Lone Star Lock Co can fix?

We repair and replace ignition switches and cylinders for most vehicles. Sticking switches usually indicate internal wear or moisture damage, which Houston's heat and humidity can accelerate. Repair usually runs $75 to $200, depending on your vehicle and whether the cylinder needs replacement.

I need my key fob reprogrammed for my new Honda in The Woodlands. Do I need to go to the dealership?

No, we program fobs and transponder keys for all major manufacturers at a fraction of dealership cost, usually $50 to $120 per fob. We come to you in The Woodlands or anywhere across the Houston area, and most jobs take under an hour on-site.
