What Makes MyKey Different
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an extra charge for night/weekend calls?
Yes, after-hours calls typically include a $20-$50 service charge to cover technician availability. This is standard across the industry and disclosed upfront.
How do I know if my locksmith is legitimate?
Ask for a business card, look for a branded vehicle, request to see their locksmith license, and verify their business is registered. Legitimate locksmiths won't mind these questions.
What if I can't prove I live/own the property?
We require ID verification matching the address. If IDs don't match, we may request additional proof like utility bills, lease agreements, or verification from landlords/neighbors.
Do you service all of DFW 24/7?
