This is a brick and mortar locksmith shop that is there when you need them, not a mobile catch as catch can truck. They also have ANYTHING you need for security compared to a big box amateur service. read more

Cothron's is AMAZING!! They are completely focused on delivering excellent customer service and the highest level of customer satisfaction. We were having our locks all changed and we had a problem when the glass shattered on one our older doors due to some issues with putting in the lock. Cothron's was so great and they took full responsibility to get it fixed. They sent out a new locksmith who fixed the original problem, which I wasn't sure could be fixed, but he did it. Also, the glass replacement crews was amazing, as they had to not only replace the glass, the but trim around the glass. They even worked on Saturday to ensure that it was done and completed in a timely manner. It was quite a job to get it done and to ensure it looked the same as the other door. They did it and I am SOOOO pleased. I will continue to work with this AWESOME locksmith and would highly recommend them to anyone. A HUGE THANK YOU to the team that made it happen....Terry, Lane, Mark, Albert and Tony, and my apologies if I left someone out! THANK YOU again!!! I will never use another lock company! THANKS, read more

go to shop when new locks for car or house need to be replaced.

My husband just used Cothron's to move his safe and we could not be more pleased!! Outstanding service and the movers were very professional. They moved the safe in 1 hour with no issues. We will definitely be recommending them in the future! read more

I tried to use this company but ran into an difficult person on the phone. I said I wanted to get someone to reinforce my front door and she said "okay" and nothing else. After a long pause she asked what I meant by that and I told her I wanted to get the front door jam reinforced against being kicked in. She said "okay" again and nothing else. After a second long awkward silence, I just hung up. It was like pulling teeth. I assumed since they are a locksmith company they would have some response when a customer calls wanting a locksmith type service. I will take my business to a different company since there are plenty of options out there. They may want to talk to her about customer service because she is losing them business. read more

Called Cothron's because my back door lock had rusted over and I needed new keys. Jacob the technician was thorough, fast and courteous. He made us a great new lock and cut 3 new keys at an awesome price. In and out in less than 30 minutes. I would not hesitate to do business with them again! read more

Great guy and had a really great attitude . Let my nephew go behind the counter and showed him how to cut keys .

Used to never have a problem with them. Went to get a replacement key on a 26 yr old Jeep. The only key I had was a reproduction itself and initially the keys they made didn't work so they tried again. Success we had keys that opened the door lock and started it while there, and even drove home using that new key. Got home and took it out but couldn't get it to work again. It'd open the door locks, albeit with some struggle and wouldn't even go in the hatch lock at all. Looked it up and appeared they gave me the wrong key #. Went back and told them but they weren't having it, even told them for that model year there was a different key # that Jeep said to use, but all they said was it was the same key....how's it the same if Jeep had a different # for that specific year and tried to tell em just to lube the lock or rebuild it...IDK. Asked if I could just get a refund since they're no use to me if they're not working anymore and they tried to deny it saying it worked, although they worked no more. That's the point of having a receipt right?? Guy was a bit snippy but just went ahead and gave me a refund. I was being nice the whole time so not sure what I may have taken him away from, but whatever. At this point I'll just not go back to Cothron's anymore....they're not what they used to be it seems. Update: went to another locksmith and they validated that I was right needing a different key than what Cothron's said.....if someone at Cothron's actually reads this, tell your people not to be so adamant that you know everything and tell a customer it's the same when it isn't. You're not Google,you don't know everything read more

Local Ford dealer said I needed to replace both lock cylinders on the doors to the tune of $500.00. Cothron's said they would do it for around $400. But when Kevin at Cothron's got a look at it he said he wanted to try flushing them out first. Now they work better than ever.....no charge. I did get a key made for my truck...thought I owed him that much. Will definitely use this place for all my locksmith needs read more

I've been to both locations many times for various lock issues. They always fix it and always explain to me what they did and why. I only go to Cothron's. read more

We were having trouble with our combination lock on the backdoor -- it was spinning and we could use it to lock or unlock and the previous owners didn't give us keys. We called Cothron's and first of all they refused to give us a timeframe for when they would come. I had other things to do including picking up a kid from school and they REFUSED to give us a timeframe even day of. So of course they guy came when I was out. He didn't have the code to check the lock or even seem to know why he was at my house. I got home and he was just making keys for the back door. I said do I have keys to the front door and he said I don't know do you? Not funny. Plus he didn't fix the spinning lock. it is still broken. He said well nobody could tell him the code so he couldn't check it. But when I got home I could have told him the code. He worked it a couple of times and shrugged and said seems fine. BUT IT ISN'T. IT IS STILL BROKEN. read more

I recently went to Cothron's to have 2 door locks for my Ford F-150 re-tumbled to match my ignition key. They did not have to remove them from the doors, I did this myself. The technician said I needed to leave them so he could work on them. When I came back to pick them up the bill was $106 !!! Are you kidding ?!? I've had door locks re-tumbled in the past and it did NOT cost half this much, if it had I would have never returned. It used to be reasonable but not any more!! I had no idea that they were using GOLD tumblers in their locks !! I'm done with you guys and I'm telling all my friends. read more

Our non-profit has used Cothron's for more than a decade for our security locks, so when I had a problem with the lock and key for a used locking cabinet we purchased, I knew we could go to them for help. I removed the locking mechanism from the cabinet and took it to Cothron's (after four other people here had tried to make it work). The guys at Cothron's knew immediately what to do to make the tiny pin stay in place. Within minutes, they had it working and wouldn't even let me pay them. These guys are experts in their field and all-around good guys. Thanks, Cothron's! read more

WARNING!!! do not go to the Round Rock location unless you like getting screwed by a couple of clowns Kevin cut me a duplicate key and when I got all the way home to try it out it did not work I called up and he claimed that he warned me the key was to worn out and and that I needed to remove my door lock mechanism to bring it in so he could fix it that its not to hard to do he made every up excuse possible finally after a semi heated conversation the best he could do is refund my money after destroying a brand new chipped key so I had to drive all the way back into round rock to eat a screwed up key and get a crappy refund without any apologies. thanks for nothing! 0 star review all the way read more

Sold a heavy safe and needed it moved. They showed up on time, didn't scratch the wooden floors, and were very careful. The price was reasonable too! Nice to have a professional when you need one. read more

Called for quote to laser cut Chevy flip key. $160.00... took it to Covert in Hutto $10.00. Check other sources first, these guys will rip you off. read more

I contacted Cothran's to change the keys for locks I had no keys for, to install a few new locks for the same brand of existing locks and a few other things. Jeff, the technician, was professional, interactive and had a great idea on moving an existing lock and doorknob that has had hard use to a less used door and putting one of the new locks/door knobs on the door we use all the time. Great service, great job, keys made on site. I will use these guys again. read more

After trying all the Big stores around Round Rock this place was my last resort. Had Kevin make me 5 keys, and BOOM!!! they all worked, Finally!. Kevin was able to explain why all other keys wouldn't work for me and had me try there keys and even offered to take a look at my deadbolt for possible problems. Very courteous and professional, would definitely recommend to anyone having trouble getting keys made. read more

I called for a re-keying of all the locks at my home and they were able to send a technician out to meet me quickly. Thank you, R. J. for your excellent work! I was very pleased and satisfied with the work, the charges, and the friendly service. read more

I have been dealing with Cothron's Safe and Lock for years. I have always been pleased with their customer service.

Bought a used truck that had a lock for the tailgate, but the seller did not leave me keys for the lock. Called several locksmiths, they were all going to charge me $200. Called Cothron's and Chris quoted me $25. When I got there Chris and Kevin both worked on my truck tailgate lock and made a key to fit the lock. They did an awesome job!! Very professional, very polite, very fast. Will use them again and refer them to all my friends. read more

Great, fast, same-day service. After losing my car keys, I had a new one made in under an hour!

Just had the best service possible. Needed my locks changed and got quick and professional service. Very reasonably priced as well.

Kevin is a genius! Thank you for making keys for my old truck with just the right adjustment so I don't have to adjust the way used the key. Genius! Wow! read more

Fast, good service. My car has an unreachable lock but Chris M stuck with it in the heat and got it popped. Thank you!

I went in with a broken car key. seven minutes later i left with 2 new car keys a smile on my face, and only eight bucks lighter. Thanks Cothron's! read more

Excellent, personable service at a VERY reasonable price. Kevin answered my many questions with knowledge based on 40 years of experience, showed me exactly what was wrong with my old ignition key and had me out the door with a new key for under $6 in 15 minutes. These folks know their stuff! read more

Just witness something amazing - neighbor's daughter with 3 very young kids drove up to her parents house and before she knew it, one of them lock her van door - Cothron's arrived pretty quickly and in no time opened her van's door - AND DID NOT CHARGE HER! Wow, unheard of this day and age. This is what I call great service and I'll never forget what I witness. I just had to give them 2 thumbs up - just never see this ever anymore. read more
