Highland Lakes Lock & Key brings mobile locksmith service to Llano, the Llano County seat and self-proclaimed "Deer Capital of Texas." From lockouts on a ranch road off US-87 to rekeying a storefront on the historic downtown square, our technicians come to you anywhere in Llano County.
Llano sits where the Llano River cuts the town in two, joined by the Roy B. Inks Bridge, roughly 33 miles northwest of Marble Falls by way of RM 1431 and US-87. As the seat of Llano County, the town is built around the 1893 Llano County Courthouse on the historic square — a Romanesque Revival building of granite, marble, brick, and stone that's still in daily use and has anchored downtown commerce for well over a century. The blocks around the square carry that same 19th-century character, with raised sidewalks and storefronts dating to the town's 1892 railhead era.
That mix of history and continued daily use is why downtown Llano is a real commercial locksmith market and not just a tourist backdrop. Buildings like these routinely change tenants, and a business moving into a century-old storefront near the square needs rekeying done right — old mortise locks, replaced doors that don't quite match the original frame, and multiple entry points that all need to work off one key system. We handle rekeying and master key setup for downtown retail spaces and offices, matching new keying to existing hardware wherever possible.
Llano County's economy runs on cattle ranching and hunting, and that shapes the calls we get outside the town limits. The county harvests more white-tailed deer annually than any other in Texas, which is where the "Deer Capital of Texas" nickname comes from, and hunting leases and ranch operations are a normal part of life here. Ranch gates — whether a keyed padlock on a cattle gate or an electronic or keypad entry system controlling access to a hunting lease — fail in the same ways any lock does: weather, dust, age. We service and rekey ranch gate hardware and can set up keyed-alike systems across multiple gates on the same property.
Distance is also a bigger factor in Llano County than it is closer to the lake towns. Properties along US-87 toward San Saba, TX-16 south toward Fredericksburg, or out on the ranch roads branching off RM 152 can be a real drive from town, and a lockout on a working ranch doesn't wait for business hours. As a mobile locksmith service, we come to the property rather than asking anyone to find a way into town.
In Llano and across Llano County, our most requested services are residential and vehicle lockouts, residential rekeying after a move or a lost key, and commercial rekeying and master key systems for downtown businesses. We also handle lock installation and repair for homes and outbuildings, and access control and gate hardware for ranch and hunting-lease properties, including keyed-alike setups across multiple entry points. Automotive lockout and key/fob service is available anywhere in the county.
We serve all of Llano County, including ranch and hunting-lease properties well outside town limits. As a mobile service, we travel to you, so a longer drive on a county road or ranch road is not a problem — just let us know the location when you call.
Yes. We work on padlocks, keyed gate hardware, and keypad or electronic gate access systems used on ranch entrances and hunting leases, and we can set up multiple gates to share one key.
In most cases, yes. Many buildings around the Llano County Courthouse square date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, and we can often rekey existing hardware to new keys rather than replacing original locks, which helps preserve the building's character and keeps costs down.
We provide 24/7 after-hours emergency lockout service throughout Llano County at a higher after-hours rate. Call (830) 385-1811 and let us know your location, including any relevant county road or gate access details.
