Quick Overview

iHow this is made

This summary is generated from the verified data on this profile: services, service area, credentials, warranty terms and the company's Google review record. It is reviewed by an editor before publishing and refreshed whenever the underlying data changes. Nothing here is asserted that is not stated elsewhere on this page.

Editorial Standards

Bee's Keys has worked from 7711 Inwood Road, at the corner of Lovers Lane, since 1950, which makes it one of the longest-running locksmith shops in Dallas. The company is run as JRSM, LLC and lists Texas DPS license B18894501, with bonded and insured technicians. Customers can walk in during shop hours for key cutting, specialty and high-security keys, and a showroom of residential and commercial safes, or book a technician to rekey a house, repair a lock or install a smart lock. Home Depot-type copies that fail are a stated specialty. The shop is open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and it says plainly that it is not a 24 hour emergency service. Bee's Keys has 4.9 stars from 726 Google reviews, read October 29, 2026.

Editorial Review

Our Take on Bee's Keys

Bee's Keys is the one Dallas company here that behaves like a neighborhood shop: a staffed counter on Inwood Road, a state license number on its own site and an honest statement that it works days, not nights. Choose it for planned work, safes and awkward keys, and look elsewhere for a 3 a.m. lockout.

What We Like

  • Operating from 7711 Inwood Road since 1950, with a walk-in shop and parking in front
  • Texas DPS license B18894501 published on its own website, with bonded and insured technicians
  • Safe showroom with sales, opening and service, including Hayman FlameVault and DynaVault models
  • New Home Package bundles a four-door rekey with a smart lock and optional wall safe
  • Rekeys Kwikset, Schlage and Yale as well as Medeco and Mul-T-Lock high-security cylinders

Things to Consider

  • Not a 24 hour service: after-hours calls reach an answering service with a callback the next business day
  • After-hours dispatch, when a technician is free, costs double the standard rate
  • The website cites 623 Google reviews while Google shows 726, so the site counter is out of date

Company Background

About Bee's Keys

Bee's Keys is a locksmith and safe shop at 7711 Inwood Road in Dallas, at the corner of Inwood and Lovers Lane. By the company's account it has operated from that address since 1950, and a long-time customer on its site says they have used it since 1960. The business is run as JRSM, LLC, holds Texas DPS Private Security license B18894501 and says every technician is bonded and insured.

The work is the everyday side of the trade done carefully. Rekeying is the most requested job, and the shop treats new homeowners as a core customer with a New Home Package that rekeys up to four exterior deadbolts, adds a smart lock to the front door and, if wanted, a wall safe. It rekeys Kwikset, Schlage and Yale hardware as well as high-security cylinders from Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, and it installs keypad, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi smart locks plus Brivo access control for small commercial doors. Lock repair, stuck keys, specialty and vintage key cutting, car keys and fobs cut in the shop, and master key systems for restaurants, gyms and property managers round out the list. Commercial jobs start with a free site survey.

The Inwood Road showroom sells residential, wall, floor, gun, fireproof and commercial drop safes, including Hayman FlameVault and DynaVault models, and the staff also open and service safes you already own. The company names Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Oak Lawn, Turtle Creek and Lakewood among the neighborhoods it serves.

Bee's Keys has 4.9 stars from 726 Google reviews, read October 29, 2026. The website says customers often mention technicians August, Rick, Julian, Bill and Thomas by name.

It suits homeowners who want a daytime appointment, a shop they can visit and a straight answer about what a lock needs. It suits people who need a locksmith at 2 a.m. less well, because the company is not a 24 hour service. Lockouts outside Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. go to an answering service, with a callback the next business day, and after-hours dispatch costs double the standard rate when a technician is free. Before booking, ask for the price in writing, ask whether the technician will rekey or replace the lock, ask what warranty covers parts and labor, and check the license number on the Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Program lookup.
