We accidentally locked our keys in the car while it was running, and we don't have a spare. We called Rick's because they are a local company (born and raised in SM) with a great reputation. Their technician was already out on a call, so Bob, the owner, dropped what he was doing to come help us out! He was even willing to cut us a couple of keys while he was here. This company's reputation is highly deserved, and I couldn't recommend them more! read more

Please use Rick's Lock & Key services. We called to get a quote to rekey the locks on our new house. We found them right here on Yelp! They were punctual and charged us what was quoted but added other extras for free to ensure everything was great! My husband was there with them and he was really pleased. I will definitely use them again! read more

These kind people are the best. I had a family member stuck in a bad spot while out of the city and I called Rick's for help. They were able to get my loved on back on the road with no problems in a short time. read more

we have used Eric at Rick's Lock & Key several times. He is always responsive and knows his craft. He has installed and replaced electronic locks and rekeyed manual locks in three buildings on our property. Rick's Lock & Key is our go to security vendor. read more

I needed to make copies of our RV and motorcycle keys and Yelp steered me in the right direction. Eric was very responsive and was able to get me in quickly. I was in and out of their shop and paid fair prices. Happy to recommend this shop! read more

One of my cat ladies had surgery so I needed a key to take care of her pets until she recovers. I went in for two copies today and Rick was there--affable as ever--and the young man doing the cutting told me the cost with tax *from memory* before he'd finished, Impressive. All my copies here have worked perfectly. All the key chains (I like the single clips better than d-rings, I have a LOT of keys to keep track of) have withstood a lot of abuse. They're more than worth the price charged. Still trustworthy and highly recommended. read more

Highly recommend Rick and his family for all your locksmith work. He has been the go-to place for this work for years in Hays County and the surrounding area. Every time we do business with them we leave even more impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, skills, and honesty. read more

I am sooo thankful to Rick at Rick's lock shop! I have a portable metal safe and I lost the key to it. I took it to Rick and he was able to open the safe and made two keys for me, too! It only took him like 20 minutes at most. Someone from Rick's Lock and Key Service also came to my house a while back and changed the locks on my door. Both services were very reasonably priced, way under what I expected to pay. read more

Excellent service! Fast, good prices, and high quality! Highly recommend. Made copies of keys for my car and they were a perfect match! Very satisfied read more

Rick is so professional and good at his job. He communicates well and is honest with pricing. He did an amazing job in fixing our back door lock. We couldn't even open the door, he came when we were available and will use him again. Thanks Rick !!! Keep it up , Sir. read more

I needed some keys to be cut and this place was wonderful- excellent work at a good price! Friendly service too!

From the time I called to the time my car was unlocked was less than 30 mins. Unreal service.

I am really impressed with Rick's. I only give them 4/5 stars because they aren't personally able to cut a new key and program it, but his brother at The Key Depot, does. When I called Rick about my car key breaking in half, he apologized for the inconvenience and explained that his brother would be able to help. Rick gave me the number and I was able to get them to come out within the hour. I'm very impressed with these brothers. Having the same type of business in the same general area in this economy must be hard, but they help each other out. I will definitely continue to recommend Rick's! read more

Rick's lock and Key is staffed by professionals. They always call back if they say that they will and they keep a broad stock of blanks and have the product that I need: motorcycle keys. They work promptly and I've never had to take a key back to them. read more

I can't say enough good about Ricks. I called them unsure about when I would be able to be at my rental and they were so friendly and worked with me on the time. Once I got there they came over and did the job quickly and were so very nice and helpful. Then after that, we lost the keys in the flood and Rick stayed on call to come back over to help us again. We did find the keys but that just shows what a great and caring person he is. Don't call anyone else cause Ricks is the best!!! read more

These guys have helped me and a neighbor out. First Class and fast service was what I got. Fair price in todays world too

Rick saved the day when my daughter locked herself out of her bedroom in her apartment. Got there quickly and gained her access to her room so she could retrieve her keys. She raved about how quick he worked. Plus he was kind enough to give her a ride to campus so she would not miss her afternoon class. He is a local San Marcos locksmith with outstanding service and extremely trustworthy. Would recommend Rick's Lock & Key Service if your child/student finds themselves in a similar predicament. read more

Rick showed up within minutes of my call when I locked my keys in my car. It was opened in seconds and the equipment he uses is very gentle on the car. He doesn't take credit cards, but he will follow you to an ATM of your choice if you don't have the cash on hand. He is very nice and it cost much less than I thought it would. read more

Rick is very prompt courteous and professional. I live wayyyy out there and he still was willing to drive out and brave large dogs to help me with a lost key situation. He does now take credit cards, previous posts had mentioned cash only. I highly recommend read more

Rekeyed my rental property. Great job! Great price! I'll be using them for all my future needs.

Rick came out and rekeyed my home locks. He was on time, quick and personable. I will only use Rick's Key & Lock from here on out.

Rick and his son (also Rick) have been handling my lock needs on my commercial real estate for over a decade. They have also helped my tenants when need be. They come day and night and in any weather and always charge a fair price. read more

Locked myself out of my apartment. Called several locksmiths and no one was available or was available within the hour. Rick was able to come and unlock my door within half an hour or less. He was friendly and understanding. He only takes cash so that's the minor down side. Hopefully I won't need an emergency locksmith again but will recommend to others. read more
