Commercial Lock Installation & Door Hardware
A business door that fails, sticks, or gets forced is not just an inconvenience, it is a liability.

Access Control, Master Key & Security Systems
Some businesses need more than a key and a deadbolt. If you have multiple access points, restricted areas, or a team that needs different levels of access across the same building, a standard setup will not cut it. Texas Premier Locksmith installs and services access control systems, keypad entry, RFID card readers, electromagnetic locks, panic bars, and exit hardware for commercial properties across College Station.
For properties that want controlled access without going fully electronic, master key systems are a practical middle ground. They give you tiered access across multiple doors using a single key hierarchy. Whether you manage a medical facility near the Health Science Center corridor, a multi-tenant office building, or a warehouse in the Research Park area, we look at how your team actually uses the space and recommend what makes sense for it.
Commercial Lock Rekeying & Replacement
Staff changes and lease transitions happen all the time in College Station, especially for businesses tied to the Texas A&M academic calendar. When someone leaves or a tenancy ends, rekeying is usually the fastest and most cost-effective way to secure the property again. It changes the internal configuration of the cylinder so old keys stop working, without touching the hardware itself.
When the hardware is too worn or damaged to rekey, we replace it on the same visit. No second appointment, no waiting.
Commercial Lockout Service
A business lockout hits differently than a residential one. Staff are standing outside, deliveries are piling up, and every minute costs something. Texas Premier Locksmith gets to commercial lockouts across College Station quickly, opens the property without damage, and checks the lock before leaving so the same thing does not happen again tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to call out a locksmith?
We charge a $30 service call fee for one of our locksmiths to drive out to any location in College Station or the surrounding area. The final cost of the service will depend on the type of work required once we arrive, but we always explain pricing clearly before starting any work so there are no surprises.
Should you rekey a new house?
Absolutely. You should always rekey a new house as soon as you close on your purchase. There’s no guarantee that the previous owner handed all of their keys over to you; there’s also no way of knowing who they gave copies of keys to in the past. Rekeying locks is affordable and takes only a short amount of time, so there’s no reason not to take this simple step to protect your family and your belongings. In most cases, rekeying can be completed during a single visit, making it one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to secure your home after moving in.
How much does it cost for a locksmith to make a new car key?
Making a new car key usually costs $95 to $125 for a standard key, but it can cost up to $120 if a transponder is needed. The exact price can vary depending on the type of key, vehicle make, and programming requirements, but we provide clear pricing before starting the work.
Can a locksmith open a lock without breaking it?
A skilled locksmith can almost always open a lock without breaking it. We use non-destructive ways to open your door so there isn’t any damage left to repair. In situations where the lock is already damaged or worn, we will let you know upfront if replacement is the better option before proceeding.
How long does it take a locksmith to show up?
If you have an emergency lockout in College Station, we’ll show up as fast as possible, usually within 30 minutes. For non-emergency situations, we’ll schedule an appointment time that is convenient for you. Response times may vary slightly depending on traffic and your exact location, but we always provide an honest estimate when you call.
Can a locksmith make a car key without a key?
Yes, an experienced auto locksmith can cut a new key for you even if you have lost the original key. To prevent this service from being used for auto theft, we will ask you to provide information to verify that the car in question is yours. If you cannot supply this information, we will be unable to perform this service. Once ownership is verified, we can usually complete the key cutting and programming on-site so you can get back on the road without delay.
How much does it cost to rekey a house lock?
We charge $20 per cylinder to rekey house locks. Rekeying multiple locks at the same time is a common request, and we can handle the entire setup during one visit to ensure all locks work with a single new key if needed.
How much does it cost to get a key programmed?
We charge $90 to $120 for transponder or computer chip keys and $125 to $285 for keyless remotes and remote head keys. Programming costs can vary based on the vehicle system, but we carry the necessary tools to complete most programming jobs on-site without requiring a dealership visit.
What is the safest lock for a front door?
All front doors should have a deadbolt in addition to the lock in the door handle. These offer an added layer of security and deadbolts are much more difficult to tamper with than the locks on door knobs. We sell and install a variety of high-security deadbolts and can help you select the right one for your needs. Choosing the right lock also depends on your door type and usage, and we can recommend options that balance security, durability, and convenience.
How do you fix a broken garage door?
There are many potential issues that could cause a garage door to break, so there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for fixing them. When you call us for garage door repair in College Station, we’ll check the tracks to make sure they’re tight and level, look for loose hardware, assess the springs, and check the sensors and garage door opener mechanisms. Once the issue is identified, we explain the repair options clearly so you can decide the best way to restore safe and reliable operation.
What should I do if my car key stops working suddenly in College Station?
Sometimes the issue is with the key, and other times it is with the vehicle’s ignition system or programming. If your key suddenly stops working, avoid forcing it, as that can make the problem worse. Our technicians can come out, diagnose whether it is a key, battery, or ignition issue, and fix it on-site so you are not left stranded.
Is it better to repair a lock or replace it completely?
It depends on the condition of the lock and how it is being used. If the hardware is still in good shape, rekeying or minor repairs are often enough. If the lock is worn, damaged, or outdated, replacement is usually the better long-term solution, and we walk you through both options on-site.
Can you help if my key breaks inside the ignition or door lock?
Yes, this is a common situation and needs to be handled carefully. Trying to remove a broken key without the right tools can damage the cylinder. We safely extract the key, inspect the lock or ignition, and can cut and program a replacement during the same visit if needed.
Do I need to go to the dealership for car key replacement?
In most cases, no. A mobile locksmith can cut and program new car keys on-site without the need for towing or waiting for a dealership appointment. This is usually faster, more convenient, and allows you to get back on the road without unnecessary delays.
What should I do if I lock my keys in the car in College Station?
Avoid trying to unlock the vehicle yourself, as that can damage the door or locking system. A professional locksmith can unlock your car safely without damage and get you back inside quickly.
Can a locksmith fix an ignition problem on-site or does the car need to be towed?
In most cases, ignition issues can be diagnosed and repaired on-site. Our technicians carry the tools and parts needed to handle ignition repairs without towing, saving time and avoiding extra costs.
