Locksmith FAQ – Nine Keys Locksmith DFW

Q: How fast can a locksmith get to me in DFW?

In most cases we can reach you within 20–40 minutes anywhere in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, depending on location and traffic.

Q: Is it cheaper to rekey or replace locks?

Rekeying is almost always cheaper than replacing locks. Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work, while keeping your existing hardware. It starts at $50 per lock.

Q: Can you make a car key without the original?

Yes. We can cut and program a new car key even if you have no original key, using your vehicle's VIN and proof of ownership. Most jobs are completed on-site.

Q: Do you service all car brands?

We service most major vehicle brands including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, and more. Call us to confirm your specific make and model.

Q: How do I know if a locksmith is legitimate?

Always ask for a Texas DPS license number before booking. Legitimate locksmiths provide upfront pricing and arrive in marked vehicles with ID. Avoid companies advertising $15–$35 lockouts — these are almost always scams.

Q: Can you program smart keys and key fobs?

Yes. We carry professional key programming equipment in our mobile unit and can program most smart keys, key fobs, and transponder keys on-site without a tow or dealership visit.
