We’ve heard all the praises about our local locksmith, and so we hired them to rekey our locks and to install keypads. I called him on a Saturday and he came today, on Sunday. No need, since it wasn’t an emergency. However, he was prompt, professional, courteous, and extremely fair with pricing. Mor is just an all around nice man with incredible customer service skills. Eight locks and a couple of keypads done in just a little over an hour. Fantastic job!
Thanks Howard Safe and Lock for your speedy response time today.I called and you answered my door jam needs with a professional tech named Ron! Not only was he here in the time promised but his professionalism and knowledge of how to fix my door issue was great! Thanks again and 5 🌟 are not enough 😊
I had been searching for weeks to find a locksmith to cut my house keys from blanks bought online. The owner was willing to stay open late for me to get there to have them done. He also has a great selection of blanks on hand. Excellent customer service!
I needed a new key fob. I contacted this company for assistance due to its good reviews. It took three calls to get ahold of someone. When I spoke to someone they were rude and dismissive. I was desperate and proceeded with using their services. I was given a replacement fob even paid extra to show my appreciation. The key fob worked twice then no more. I received another from the company for an additional cost and that didn’t work either!! I was unable to get into my vehicle and was forced to miss 4 days of much needed pay at work! Do not recommend.
Howard Safe & Lock is my go to locksmith in the city. Ive gone to them for my last 3 key copies. They have what appears to be every type of key imaginable, so no matter what key you need copied, theyll have the proper blank. Service is always quick, but in case theres a customer or two in front of you, theres a wide range of key, lock, and security accessories to browse while you wait.
Howard Safe and Lock completely re-keyed our first house with high security locks 3 years ago. We were so pleased with the service and the quality of the product that we asked them to re-key our current house, once again with high security locks. We have once again been very happy with the product and Howard Safe and Lock. They are very responsive, quick to schedule appointments, work fast, and know what theyre doing. Highly recommended!
Accidentally washed & dried a key fob on a Sunday morning, no dealerships in the area opened on a Sunday as usual. Got someone to our house within 1 hour of calling, got our new fob set up within 1 hour. Good customer service and communication, also better deal than going through a dealership! Will definitely use again if needed!
After going to 10-12 different shops in the city I came across this shop and they were able to help me. Mike was great he took the time to make sure the new keys will work properly and they did. Today, I came back to pay for the set he did for me yesterday and I made a new set for a total of 2 new sets of Keys. I asked for him and he was at a job I wanted to thank him personally for the exceptional job and great customer service I received yesterday!! Thank you sir!
Jordan Patterson came out and worked at my house. Very professional and friendly. The work Jordan did at my house looks great. I had a great experience with Howard Safe.
Showed up day after storm hit Houston and they didnt have power.I asked if they were open and he said no power but maybe we can help.He got a key out of the lock I brought and didnt even charge for the service. That is not an every day occurrence So I support this company.If you need anything key, lock, merchandise related use them,Great guys.Bradley
This place is great! I came in to get a copy of a key made and Mike took care of me right away. The prices are great and service is everything you need. Totally recommend this place!!
I must share my wonderfully helpful experience with Howard Safe & Lock Company. I needed to access a locked interior compartment of a large very old fireproof bank safe my parents had to make sure it was empty before selling their home. I had no idea what the key looked like or where in the house it could be stored. For 2 years of slowly cleaning out the house, I checked every unusual looking key I could find and nothing fit it. I was told I would need to drill it open, but calling around gave me shocking quotes for someone to do...much less assuming the space was empty. Mor with Howard Safe & Co. was so very patient with me on the phone, and obviously knew a lot about old safes. I shared pictures of it. He even helped me come up with a value to expect when I sell it. Gosh Mor, YOU are a true gentleman and I really appreciated your time and you going out of your way for me. By the way, he told me what the key might look like....and sure enough, I was able to get into the locked cabinet. Im grateful I didnt have to spend several hundred dollars paying to have it drilled. If youre looking for a trustworthy group who enjoy their work...call these guys!! You dont get service like this anymore. Thank you Mor. Really appreciate you!!!
Best key place in Texas hands down . They been here since 1946. Can’t beat them on service and prices for sure . Thank you Howard team .
House lock somehow jammed overnight forcing us to use the window to get out. We called right when they opened and they came out within an hour! The locksmith diagnosed the issue quickly and gave us options within our budget and solved the issue. Great service, honest solutions and timely service. 10/10
Love this place! Very nice staff and great deals. Stayed open a little longer to accommodate me. Definitely coming back any time
I bought a used Chevy Equinox that only came with one key, and the Chevy dealership wanted like $400-500 + your firstborn child. I googled the nearest locksmith to see if they could make one, and found Howard Safe & Lock. I walked in, he immediately made my key, then went outside and programmed it to my car - all in under 5 minutes & for 1/4 the dealership price. This is probably the best customer service experience of my life - def top 5.
Mike was very knowledgeable when I came in asking if he could re key a lock on an old filing cabinet.He was able to quickly produce a key once we found the numbers on old lock. He told me if it didn’t work, I didn’t owe anything, if it did to come back at my leisure. Professional, kind, and very experienced, I was impressed with Mike and the other workers. I highly recommend this business and will positively return.
Excellent service. Mor Vidal was very professional and helpful. Open on Sundays!
Very happy with them. Professional team and very fast service .
He was very professional. He was also willing to adjust to the time I could get to my home. There not many who can make bike keys so I really thought the price would be outrageous but it was not... thankfully he was the man for the job. Mor vidal lock smith
Mike is very professional and kind and communicates clearly. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. He even came back to rekey one aspect of the repair several weeks later. He explained the problem and resolution and then fixed it quickly and within my budget. Many many thanks!
We searched for a week and a half to find someone to cut our house keys on blanks we provided. Not only was he able to do that but stayed open past close on a Sunday to do so. Very friendly ND answered the phone on the 1st ring. Thank you for doing what you do!
Super helpful and friendly service with Mike. No problems and quick service. Highly recommended!
Had a hard-to-find key blank in stock. Very friendly and helpful. Would recommend.
Stopped in to get a key made. They were friendly and fast. I like supporting small businesses.
Quick and fast service! Love that they’re local!!
Mor was super quick, friendly and helpful with my commercial key copy. Highly recommend!
Mor was a great help in a time of need! He let me know on a Sunday when to drop by to get some keys made and ended up being in and out in less than 5 minutes which is nuts! Thanks for the help!
Omg I am so happy!!! Mor came within two hours of me contacting him. I called around 2 and was told that someone would be here between 4-6. This is a pleasant surprise with him coming right around 4. I actually called someone before Howard Safe and Lock because the price was slightly cheaper, but the guy stopped responding to me after the timeframe he gave me. I lost my key fob days ago and hadn’t been able to go anywhere because I have no spare. Mor came and programmed my new key fob in less than 10 minutes. This guy rocks! He is fast, friendly, and punctual!!!
So friendly and fast!! The best place I have been to!
Jordan was fast in getting here and fast at unlocking my car! He was super nice and had a great personality. Thank you so much!
Mike is a kind man who is truly there to help people in his community. Gave me great help in seconds please ask for Mike you will be doing your self a favor!
I’ve used them twice and each time the owner was helpful and professional. The second time he went above and beyond. I feel like he really cares about helping his customers. I would definitely recommend!
Great service, super fast, nice guys. What more could you ask for
Very good place to shop for everything that locks!!
After visiting several locksmiths, Mor helped me right away. They had the right copy for my vehicle even though my key was broken in half!
I was locked out of my house during the valentines ice storm of 2021 and they came and fixed my locks in under 30 minutes. Would have paid double for that kind of service. Truly a godsend
Service is trash poor quality not responsive been waiting on one lock for two months now for two holes to be drilled and a lock to be set in place refund needed!!!
Great shop and Mor was very kind and helpful.
Took two locks in working condition to just change the key to the same key, when I picked them up I was told one was broken and will not lock however it was keyed, not sure why they keyed if it was broken.
I came into the store needing a copy of a mailbox key. The generosity, service and professionalism was more than I could have asked for. May God continue to bless your business!
Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable!
Mr.Mike has great customer service. I recently had my key fob programmed to my car and didn’t know it had a key within the fob; so I came back 2 days after my discovery and without a problem Mr.Mike fixed my problem and I highly recommend this company.
I love the people here they are very helpful
Great place. good people, fast serviceI really recommend it 👌
Lost my car key. They came out to my house within an hour of calling and were very quick and professional. Fair price as well. Will be using them again in the future for any needs.
Super quick, professional, and courteous! i called ahead just in case, and they said the key copy would take about 30 seconds - it was so much faster than that! the key works perfectly, much smoother than any of the key copying machines ive used. will definitely use again. thank yall so much!
I sent Howard Safe and Lock a question via email. They responded promptly and precisely answered my questions.Several other Locksmiths never replied.Mike cut and programmed my 2018 Ford Mustang key quickly with no issues.The cost was half of what dealerships will charge. Great personalized service. Their Google ratings are well deserved.
Had a wonderful experience with the staff at Howard Safe & Lock Co Houston!!! My cars battery died and Mike was so kind and helped me. He recharged my battery at not cost. Go here for all your locksmith needs!! Thank you Mike!!!
I visited them twice now, both times for copying the remote key fob for two different vehicles. The tech (dont recall his name, but the same man both times) worked a while to get the fobs programmed.I learned programming fobs requires quite a bit of diligence and luck as every make, model, and year can have a different process and different gotchas, so even though he could not get the second fob programmed in the end, he tried for a LONG time and did not charge me.They also have fobs in stock. These appear to be more reliable than the ones purchased online. Again, the fobs are VERY specific to the make, model, year, and even which month in the year the car was manufactured. If possible, I recommend you purchase the fobs from Howard S&L directly... leave that headache to the experts.
I walked in without prior notice for a key copy and within 1 minute of arriving it was complete and I was leaving! Very friendly staff and will definitely be using them again!
Excellent customer service
Mike was very nice and professional! Excellent prices would definitely recommend to everyone I’ll never go no where else awesome service !
These guys are super nice and friendly. I called about getting a copy of my key made. I supplied them with a year and model and they quoted a price of between $150-200. Once I arrived and they took the equipment to my car, the price changed to $320.They told me it was a different process than expected even though I had provided the exact year and model. I’d like to believe it was just an accidental misquote, but it left a really bad taste in my mouth. The fact that they didn’t offer any sort of discount for misquoting the job makes it feel all the more suspicious.*update* A different locksmith met me at my house a few days later and supplied the key and programmed it for $195 and was done in 15 minutes. I have no idea what would have required this company multiple hours to complete the work. If you are quoted more than $200 for a key, I recommend checking all your options.
Had a wonderful experience with Mike at Howard Safe & Lock Co Houston!!! He was so kind and helped me. Go here for all your locksmith needs!! They will not disappoint. Thank you Mike!!!
We bikes our way there super convenient!Mike was fast efficient and welcoming. My key works 😃
Best prices in town! Had to get a new key fob for my car and it was significantly cheaper by about $100 than about 4 other places I called and they had it in stock. Only took about 20mins to get everything done. Super friendly and helpful.
Nice neighborhood business here. Im a dyier, working on matching my garage door lock to my house door lock. And wouldnt you know it things just didnt go as planned. I ended up having one of the springs in the lock up and disappear on me. I looked online and can buy a pack of 100 for $XX. But do I really need 100? So then I remembered this lock place that Ive driven by a thousand times. I swung by and although I only needed 1 I asked for 4 since Im sure Ill end losing another someday, if not today. Walked in, was greeted immediately asked how I could be helped. Asked to buy some springs and the guy just gave them to me in a little zip bag. Out of there in a couple of minutes. Definitely wouldnt hesitate in taking my more complex lock work there in the future.
Mike is a professional and programmed a new fob in minutes plus cut the access key 🇺🇸
Moved here from Manhattan, needed keys made. In and out in 2 mins flat (9 keys). It’s like I never left NYC. Fast service. Great prices and excellent customer service. Enough said. Don’t waste time going anywhere else just come here and save yourself time.
Great place they have every single key i needed, will be back
This place is great. I was in a jam and Mike was able to perfectly cut some custom keys in a matter of minutes. (You wouldnt be able to get that done at Lowes/Home Depot). The service was great and the price was even better. I cant recommend this local spot enough.
Awesome people. Very friendly and efficient
On behalf of Circa Real Estate, we wanted to thank the technician, David, for coming out and being as professional as they come. He was very thorough, informative and offered expert advise on the work that we requested to be completed. Howard Safe & Lock has always been great to us. No matter who you talk to, everyone knows their stuff! Thank you for exceptional, quick service.
I was walking up to get keys copied and a guy pulled up next to me and asked if I needed keys. Lo and behold it was Howard, the one and only, who had already closed shop. He parked, opened back up just for me. Now THATS customer relations. Keep it up Howard. Youve already got the key to my heart.
I was in need of a set of specific keys to be made for occupational usage. To my surprise, upon searching within the Houston area I quickly found that this profession appears to be a yesterdays craft that stayed in the past. The actual person who initially let me borrow the keys recommended me to this particular location from their prior business dealings. Once I walked in I immediately knew that I was in the right place. I simply walked in and before I could even remove the keys needed from the key ring, the employee was finished. Literally was an in and out process and i must say, I was very pleased. Future and further needs for keys, I along with you (the reader) suggest and recommend this location highly as your first stop shop.
I lost the keys to my safe so I needed a locksmith to come out to my shop. Big thanks to Mike for helping out with everything! Great customer service and quick to respond to any questions. Definitely will be coming back!
Great manner and just straight forward quality work. Pretty much the locksmith you have been searching for! Highly recommend Howard Safe & Lock Co Houston to others.
Well my day at work started off fine until one of our warehouse guys went to start our forklift and snapped the key in half, I fished out the other half of the key and took it and the ignition straight to Howard safe and lock. Unfortunately he didn’t have the exact blank To match up with our Old key but since I had the ignition he was able to find a key that would fit which was awesome. Whenever it was time to pay though I only had a $50 bill he didn’t have enough change to break the 50 so he gave me the key for free . I highly recommend you go see the nice folks here I promise they will take good care of you !!! Thanks again to the great staff.Thanks Mckillican American Staff
Looked up a near by place to make a copy for my office keys and this one was the closest to me. As soon as I stepped foot in there I was greeted and welcomed by fun conversation and smiling faces and they had so many cute keys I didnt know which one I wanted lol I will surely be making this a go to for any keys I need made! And they have a safe that I have my eye on so I will surely be back!
Mike and the rest of the team were incredibly helpful! Best locksmith in town!
The quote to duplicate my Toyota Camry smart key was $145 less than that of another highly rated locksmith, and much, much less than a dealer would charge. When I got to the shop I saw a list of prices and the car keys seemed to be on special, so this may have been more of a bargain than usual. But it was a very good price. Mr. Vidal was extremely nice and professional to deal with. He duplicated my smart key quickly, I would say in 10 minutes or probably less. Somehow I had been under the impression that this took a long time, but not with the modern computer equipment at Howard Safe & Lock. I am pleased to have a new backup key that didnt cost an arm and a leg.
I called Howard Safe & Lock Co Houston in a panic and pleaded that they come fast. They came quickly and got me in the house fast. It was awesome. Very grateful for their service.
Mike was incredibly helpful. I had a key that was previously cut poorly at another store. It would slip inside the ignition but wouldn’t turn the lock. Mike saved the key and saved me a lot of money in the process. I would give ten stars if I could! Class act!!!
By far one of the best lock and key shops I have been to! These people are really great and super knowledgeable about their products. They stand behind their work and service and go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. 10/10 would recommend.
They came out same-day and even called to let me know they could be early to my appointment window. They fixed an antique crystal bathroom door knob and installed a new code-key front door lock. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. This is our second time using Howard Safe & Lock. They have provided stellar service both times on different projects. Highly recommend!
Went here to get a lock re-keyed. Very quick and reasonable price.
Needed a key made quick on a Sunday. Home Lowpot said they couldnt do it because it wasnt one of the 2 kinds they carried. Found Howard Safe & Lock online. I walked in and was out so quick I forgot the get the gentlemans name. Keys worked perfectly. Highly recommended.
Me and my cousin share a storage but only have one key. Found this place on google. First of all it smells good in here! Secondly I was greeted and helped so fast! Key was done in 1 min and I was out the door! Thank you so much! I will be back for my next key!
Great service done by Howard safe and lock, I do recommend them .
Would have had five stars except for some reason Howard Safe & Lock has decided to allow a very rude woman to answer the phone. Google maps lists the hours as 8am-11pm, so I called just to verify when the shop closed. The woman who answered acted as if she couldnt be bothered answering a simple question. Fortunately, when we arrived the man working at the counter was very pleasant. There needs to be improvement with the interactions on the telephone with potential customers.
Great customer service!
Easily the fastest, most stress free key copying experience of my life! We needed a commercial studio key made for our new employee and I was in and out of there in less than 45 seconds. Truly. Never going anywhere else for my key and lock needs!!
I am not a relative or friend. I was a customer who lost my car key and was stranded. Howard Lock (Carla and Mor) were very polite, extremely professional and quick to respond. Their rates for service were very competitive (I called four Locksmith) and I was very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Howard Safe and Lock and think you will be pleased with their service. Regards, Marty
Mor was at our house in 15 min. Solved three problems and cut us a new key. Very reasonable cost for the service. A+. We live in Woodland Heights and support good local business.
I brought my own key blank to have it made into a spare motorcycle key, and after I handed the blank and the original to them, it only took about two seconds for them to replicate the key in their machine - it was awesome to see! The spare works great, with no recutting required. I am very impressed with their service, and the man who worked with me was very nice.
Howard Safe & Lock Co Houston company was excellent! So courteous and so easy to work with. Highly recommend this company!
5 stars because this company is awesome! Great customer service. I needed to get a new key for my car and get it programmed before I go out of town tomorrow. The owner was closing up for the night, but stayed open a little later until I got there to re program my key. He also allowed me to test everything out before paying. Reccomened to anyone needing a locksmith!
Great selection awsome service. I recommend this place if you need your keys done. Plus if they dont have it the will definitely order it for you. Fast and quick service.
This company is great! The person answering the phone was so helpful. The technician arrived in about 25 minutes - as promised. The lock was challenging but the service person was persistent and went out of his way to offer solutions across several price points. Extremely happy with the service from this company.
These guys are the real deal! Real locksmiths that know their trade. I had some keys made at Lowes and Lowes did not use the proper blank and the keys didnt fit my tool box locks. I walked into Howard Safe & Lock and the guy immediately cut me 2 keys that work wonderfully.If you have a rare key or a challenging lock situation, this is the place to go. They are not expensive either!
I have come here many times to get copies of keys. The staff is always very friendly and goes out of there way to make sure the key is an exact match. I will be coming back to Howard Safe & Lock Co. for all my key needs.
