    While other locksmiths were unable to clone/program my key, Reynold was an absolute goat and was able to get me going with a cloned key! I won’t have to worry about loosing my key one day anymore thanks to this guy! Give this man a raise! 🫡

    Brandy was so awesome and helpful! after calling a few places to check prices to replace my key fob battery and being told over $100, I found Access Key and got both of my fobs done for 35 DOLLARS!! They are honest people. I will definitely be recommending them to family and friends.

    We heard of the business from the Jack Ricardi radio show on KTSA. Chris and Bradi were such an incredible help to us. It was well worth the long drive for us. We will recommend Access to others.

    Shopped around for the best price on a 2019 Subaru Forester car fob programmable key. Access Key & Security was the winner. The staff, Brandy, Chris and Reynolds were so helpful and knowledgeable. Give them a call when in need of any type of keys. .

Company Background

About Access Key & Security

Access Key & Security has been on NW Loop 410 since 1985, according to the company, and its phone number is (210) 829-5397. Google shows 4.5 stars from 368 reviews, which we read on October 29, 2026.

The service range is wider than a typical key shop. It covers residential, commercial and automotive locks, and also access control, security cameras and gate controllers. That makes it useful for apartment communities, offices and businesses with gates. A drive-thru window handles quick key and fob jobs without parking.

Reviews are specific. One customer said other locksmiths could not clone or program a key, but Reynold got a cloned key working. Another called around about replacing key fob batteries, was quoted over $100 elsewhere, and paid $35 for both fobs at Access, saying the staff were honest. A third praised Reynold as professional and efficient, and a couple who drove a long way after hearing about the shop on a local radio show thanked Chris and Brandy for their help. The owner replies to reviews. In one case the owner answered a one-star review by saying the shop never did any work for that person.

Hours are Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. The company states 24 hour service, so call (210) 829-5397 for an after hours job and ask about the price. Texas requires locksmith companies to be licensed through the Department of Public Safety Private Security Program. A sign in one photo shows a B number, but the company's website does not state a licence number, so ask for it and check the state lookup.

The rating of 4.5 is at the lower end of this list, but the number of reviews, the range of services and the low prices on small jobs all count in its favour.
