Burnet County
Highland Lakes Lock & Key provides mobile locksmith service to Cottonwood Shores, the small lakeside city just southwest of Marble Falls on the Colorado River. Our technicians come to you for home lockouts, rekeying, and lock repair anywhere from Cottonwood Drive to the Lakeview Drive boat ramp.
Cottonwood Shores is one of the smallest incorporated cities in Burnet County, with roughly 1,400 residents packed into just over one square mile. It sits along the Colorado River between two constant-level reservoirs — Lake LBJ upstream and Lake Marble Falls downstream — which is why the city is sometimes called "The City on Two Lakes." That geography shapes the whole community: it's overwhelmingly residential, built around lake access rather than commerce, with the town's few services clustered along Cottonwood Drive near the water.
The housing stock reflects a mature lake-adjacent neighborhood rather than a new subdivision — modest single-story homes along streets like Lakeview Drive, Westwood Drive, and Birch Lane, many built for retirees and long-time lake residents, with a meaningful share of rental and part-time/vacation homes mixed in. Older homes here often still have original or mismatched locks that have never been rekeyed, and turnover between owners, renters, and seasonal guests means keys change hands more often than in a typical neighborhood. Public lake access — the municipal boat ramp and paddle-launch access at Noah Thompson Park — is central to daily life, and with no commercial district of its own, a mobile locksmith that comes to the house is the practical option for most residents.
For Cottonwood Shores homeowners, our most requested services are residential lockouts and rekeying — especially for lake houses that have changed hands between owners, renters, or vacation guests without ever getting new locks. We also handle lock repair and installation for homes with older or storm-worn hardware near the water, and we're available for after-hours emergency lockouts any time you return from the boat ramp or the park after hours.
Yes. Standard business hours are Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:30 PM; outside those hours we provide 24/7 after-hours emergency lockout service at a higher rate.
We strongly recommend it. Rekeying is the standard, affordable way to make sure no previous owner, renter, or vacation guest still has a working key.
