    I've worked with these guys over the past few years and they're always awesome! - I won't go anywhere else. They tell it to you how it is, are very customer minded, and offer a fair price with quality service.

    I was expecting to get my key fob signal strength read to see if it was bad since I just needed a second opinion . I’m being told I need to reprogram my key which costs over $400 . The nice man looked at my key fob and tells me the reason my car is not detecting a key is the battery is dead. $10 fix, not $400+ Turns out the brand new battery I just purchased at CVS was a dud and I’m taking my business here to get a spare key programmed. They will program the key fob I bought on Amazon for just over $100 . These guys are a class act. 5 stars !

    Had an issue with my car door lock and they did a fantastic job getting it working. Very friendly, fast, and honest!!! Would definitely recommend and use again in the future for any locksmithing needs!

    I lost my truck key and fob, and the extra fob didn't work, so I went to Sharps to see if they could replace the fob and make me a spare. They were able to reprogram my spare and make an extra key for only $160 compared to the $400 to &500 it would have cost at a dealership. Plus they explained to me that fobs can be ordered on line for about $35, then they can program them! They are so kind, knowledgeable, and it was the best customer service I have experienced. If you have any key, lock or fob problems you should go to Sharps first. You will leave with a better outlook on the world.

    I called and the line kept breaking up, so I said hello and the guy literally screamed “WHAT?” Into the phone and then hung up. Very jarring experience

Company Background

About Sharp Brothers Locksmith

Sharp Brothers Locksmith is a family-run shop at 507 W Mary St in the Bouldin Creek area of South Austin, and it says it has served Central Texas since 1976. The website calls it a second-generation company and one of the oldest locksmiths in Austin. Free parking is offered to customers who visit the shop.

The shop keeps weekday hours, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday to Friday, and is closed on weekends. The website lists a Texas licence number, B15072, says the company is bonded and insured, and says it is associated with the Texas Locksmith Association. It also says its locksmiths take continuing education classes.

Safes are the standout. Sharp Brothers sells, installs and repairs safes and vaults, carries gun and drop safes and fire and water-resistant models, and lists AMSEC among the brands it stocks. Beyond safes, the site covers home and business lockouts, master key systems, safe deposit keys, bit and post keys for older hardware, smart locks, remote key fobs and auto locks. It also does mobile work on boats, motorcycles and aircraft, which few Austin locksmiths advertise.

Google shows 4.9 stars from 197 reviews, read October 29, 2026. One customer says Steve opened a safe in 15 minutes after another locksmith wanted to cut it up. Another walked in 20 minutes before closing with a broken safe and had it opened in 10 minutes, with a key duplicated at no fuss. A third says Phil helped with replacement toolbox keys right away. A fob customer says a dealer quoted $400 to $500 while Sharp's did the job for $160 and explained that fobs can be bought online and programmed in the shop.

The limits are practical. The shop is closed at night and on weekends, and the website looks dated and does not offer after-hours emergency service. It also says it accepts local personal checks only if the address on the check matches your licence.

Sharp Brothers suits people with safes, older keys and walk-in key jobs on weekdays. It suits you less well for a 2 am lockout. Before booking, ask for a quote or service-call fee up front, whether entry is non-destructive, what warranty covers parts and labour, and for the technician's ID. Texas locksmith companies are licensed through the Department of Public Safety Private Security Program, so confirm B15072 there.
