We don't say "we serve Houston" and hope for the best. Four strategic depots, 24 mobile units, and rolling median ETAs published by neighborhood. Here's exactly where we go and how fast we get there.
Houston is a sprawl city — the difference between a 25-minute arrival and a 55-minute arrival usually comes down to which side of the Beltway you're on. Here's the honest breakdown by zone.
The numbers below are 30-day rolling medians — updated weekly, not marketing promises. Traffic, weather, and demand change things; your dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call.

ETAs reflect rolling 30-day medians from our dispatch records, updated weekly. Actual arrival times depend on traffic conditions, weather, and current dispatch queue — your dispatcher will give you a real-time estimate when you call.
Four strategic depots across the metro keep our response times competitive. Each depot stocks the same standard loadout — hardware, tools, and equipment don't vary by location.
Our primary dispatch hub and the location for walk-in key cutting, hardware pickup, and commercial contract signings.

Reviews from customers in different parts of Houston — because consistent service across four zones is harder than it sounds.
"Called from downtown on a Friday afternoon expecting a two-hour wait because of traffic. Quick Key had a technician at my building in 22 minutes. The inner-loop depot is clearly real — this is the fastest I've ever gotten a locksmith in this city."
"We're in The Woodlands and half the locksmiths we called quoted 90+ minute ETAs because they're all based inside the Loop. Quick Key has a depot up here — they arrived in 45 minutes and had the job done before any of the others even called back."
"Sugar Land here. Most Houston locksmiths treat us like we're out of state. Quick Key dispatched from their Sugar Land depot and the tech was at my door in about 40 minutes. Same price as their Houston rate — no 'distance fee' nonsense."
