The full list
Six jobs get worked on this bench, and nothing outside them.
Locksmith work in Austin covers a lot of ground we don't touch. Ziruqen does key cutting, cylinder rekeying, lock and hardware swaps, lockout response, small personal safe work and furniture lock repair. No car keys, no fleet accounts, no vault safes. Below is the whole list with the one line that separates each job from the next.
01
Key Cutting
On-site key cutting on a standard household blank, ready in ten minutes or under while you wait at the counter or on the porch. We stock the common household brass and nickel blanks; oddball proprietary blanks get ordered, not forced onto the wrong machine.

- Per key, cut on-site
- Distinct because
- Ready in ten minutes or under on a standard household blank
02
Cylinder Rekey
Same-day rekeying of the cylinder you already own, so one key works your whole house without replacing the hardware itself. Rekeying is cheaper than a new lock and we say so even when a swap would pay us more.

- Per cylinder
- Distinct because
- Same day, doesn't touch the door hardware itself
03
Lock & Hardware Swap
Full deadbolt or knob-set replacement including strike-plate alignment, for the household that wants new hardware rather than a rekey — new build-out, style change, or a cylinder too worn to save.

- Per door
- Distinct because
- Full deadbolt or knob-set replacement with strike-plate alignment
04
Lockout Response
Non-destructive entry attempted first with tension wrench and pick — most household locks pick clean without damage. Drilling is the fallback, never the opening move, and it needs your sign-off before it happens.
See lockout response- Price basis
- Per call-out
- Distinct because
- Non-destructive entry attempted first, drilling only with sign-off
05
Small Safe Service
Opening and combination resets on drawer safes and cash boxes people keep at home — not vault safes, not fire-rated units bolted to a floor. If the mechanism is beyond a reset, we'll say what it would take rather than force it.
See small safe service- Price basis
- Per unit
- Distinct because
- Drawer safes and cash boxes only, no vault or fire-safe work
06
Furniture & Drawer Lock Repair
Cam locks, mortise desk locks and mailbox cylinders repaired on the bench, usually in under twenty minutes, often for less than the cost of new furniture that solves nothing the lock didn't already fix.
See furniture lock repair- Price basis
- Per lock
- Distinct because
- Often a five-minute fix instead of new furniture
What none of the six cover. Car keys and automotive transponder programming, commercial multi-site or fleet contracts, and fire-rated or vault safes are outside this bench, in writing, on every page above. We'll point you to the right shop rather than take the job badly.
