Blanco County
Highland Lakes Lock & Key provides mobile locksmith service to Johnson City and the surrounding Blanco County ranch country, from downtown storefronts near the historic courthouse square to homes and gated properties along US-281 and US-290.
Johnson City is the Blanco County seat, sitting at the crossroads of US-281 and US-290 in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. The town's identity is tied closely to Lyndon B. Johnson, who grew up here — the LBJ National Historical Park, including the LBJ Boyhood Home, anchors the north side of town. That history draws a steady flow of visitors through a compact downtown built around the Blanco County Courthouse square, where century-old limestone storefronts now house shops and offices that still rely on physical locks and, in some cases, keyed systems that are decades out of date.
Beyond the courthouse square, Johnson City sits in classic Hill Country ranch country — rolling limestone hills and large working properties stretching along US-281 toward Marble Falls and Burnet, US-290 toward Fredericksburg, and county roads toward Pedernales Falls State Park. Many of the calls we get from this area involve ranch entry gates and gate operators that need rekeying or repair, outbuildings and equipment barns with locks that have been neglected for years, and rural homes set well back from the road. Because Johnson City sits at the edge of our regular service area — noticeably farther from Marble Falls than towns like Kingsland or Granite Shoals — we're upfront with callers about realistic arrival windows rather than promising the same response time we can offer closer to home.
For Johnson City and greater Blanco County, we handle automotive lockouts and key/fob replacement, residential lockouts and rekeying for in-town homes and outlying ranch houses alike, and commercial locksmith work for the historic downtown's retail and office spaces, including rekeying and master key systems for landlords managing multiple storefronts. We also service ranch gate locks, gate operator hardware, and access control for larger rural properties.

Johnson City is on the outer edge of our regular service area, farther from our Marble Falls base than towns like Kingsland or Granite Shoals. We'll give you an honest estimated arrival time when you call, and we do offer 24/7 emergency dispatch at the after-hours rate.
In most cases, yes. Many of the commercial buildings around the square use standard pin-tumbler hardware that can be rekeyed rather than replaced.
