We once got a call from a musician who locked his guitar and keys inside the car just before soundcheck. Another time, a family came back from a lake day in dripping clothes and realized their house key was still on the picnic table miles away. It doesn't matter if it's a high-rise apartment downtown or a pickup truck at a gas station on Ben White - our emergency locksmiths have seen every version of "I can't get in". We don't judge. We show up, unlock, repair, and make sure you can breathe again.

Our 24-hour emergency locksmith services include:
Austin traffic isn't kind, but we know the shortcuts. Our mobile locksmith units spread across the city, so we can dispatch the nearest technician instead of sending one from across town. It's how we keep response times low even on busy afternoons. We serve downtown Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and all the neighborhoods in between. Each van carries specialized gear for car lockouts, home entry, and high-security commercial locks. We're not guessing when we show up - we come ready to fix the problem the first time.
When you realize you're locked out, take a deep breath. Most locks can be opened without damage, especially when handled by a professional emergency locksmith. If you're locked out of your car, don't try coat hangers or screwdrivers - they scratch paint and bend mechanisms. Instead, check if any other door is open or if a friend has a spare key. Call us right after that. Our team will guide you through quick safety steps while a technician is on the way. A few calm minutes now can save you hours later.
Our customers often tell us the same thing: "You showed up faster than I expected". That's exactly what we aim for. When you call Wilbert Auto Locksmith, you reach a real person, not a call center. We listen, we ask the right questions, and we dispatch immediately. Every technician is licensed, insured, and trained to handle residential, automotive, and commercial lockouts safely. We keep prices clear and fair, so you don't get another surprise when the job is done. It's the kind of straightforward honesty Austin appreciates.
One of our favorite stories involves a driver locked out near Barton Creek just before midnight. His key fob stopped working, and his phone battery was about to die. He expected hours of waiting, but our tech was already nearby helping another customer. Fifteen minutes later, his car was open, the key fob battery replacement was done, and he was laughing under the parking lot lights. That kind of moment sums up what we do - show up fast, fix it right, and keep Austin moving.
After thousands of calls, we've learned a few things that can save you trouble later:
