Editorial Review

Our Take on Whitley's Lock & Safe

Whitley's Lock & Safe is a good local shop for hard to copy keys and same day calls, with a license and an association membership behind it. The sample size is smaller, one reviewer reported a price that rose from $175 to $375, and the phone numbers differ, so confirm the full quote and number first.

    I operate a small business and suddenly I was not able to easily remove the key when locking and unlocking my front door. I called Whitley's and answered first ring! They set me up for a service call same day and the tech who arrived was pleasant and efficient in getting me fixed up! Plus the gent on the phone and the tech explained a work around technique to get a key out when stuck. It still needed to be repaired but I appreciate the sharing attitude to educate me a wee bit. Nice job Whitley's! I highly recommend your business.

Company Background

About Whitley's Lock & Safe

Whitley's Lock & Safe operates from 14542 Brook Hollow Blvd, San Antonio, TX 78232. The company says it has been around since 1985 and belongs to the Locksmith Association of San Antonio. It lists Texas locksmith license B12109. Google shows 4.6 stars from 122 reviews, which we read on October 29, 2026.

The reviews show what the shop does well. One customer brought in an unusual key that a hardware store kiosk could not copy, and walked out in under 10 minutes with five copies for well under $30. A small business owner whose front door key would not come out called and got an answer on the first ring, then a technician the same day, plus a tip on how to remove a stuck key. The owner replies to reviews, and the staff described by customers are pleasant and efficient.

Two criticisms are worth reading. A one-star reviewer was told $175 by phone to replace a front door lock, then was charged $375 after installation, and said the attitude was poor. The shop did not reply to that review. Another customer rated the shop three stars because it could not match an Andersen door key. The owner replied that the shop stocks thousands of key blanks but not every one, and that some door makers use foreign suppliers, and suggested ordering from the door manufacturer. Together these point to a simple rule: ask for the full price before work begins, and for hard to find keys, call to check that a blank is in stock.

Hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5 pm, with emergency service after hours and on weekends. The phone number on Google is (210) 494-1428, which also appears on the company vans, while the website shows a different number, 210-399-4878. Call the Google number first and confirm it.

  • Does Whitley's Lock & Safe offer emergency service?

    We checked 0 of 2 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.
