Honk-Key Lock & Safe LLC
Honk-Key Lock & Safe is a full-service locksmith company serving Grand Junction, Montrose, and the surrounding Western Colorado region. The company describes itself as veteran-owned and operated, and it covers residential, commercial, automotive, safe, door, and 24/7 emergency locksmith work. Services listed on the site include lock installation and repair, lock rekeying, key duplication, lockout service, master key systems, high-security locks, access control, smart lock installation and programming, safe installation, combination changes and safe opening, car key replacement, transponder key and remote programming, and ignition repair. If every copy of a car key is lost, the team can originate new keys by code, which the company says costs less money and takes less time than the dealership. Service is mobile, with company vehicles equipped to handle home, business, vehicle, and emergency calls, and there is a walk-in storefront at 230 E Lynwood St, Unit C in Grand Junction where customers can shop a selection of door hardware and gun safes. Technicians are described as highly trained, bonded, and insured, and the company advertises transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden fees plus free, no-obligation quotes. Owner Austin Hohnke started the company in 2020 after leaving the U.S. Army in 2014 and working as a safe moving technician, and he has completed training programs at Lockmasters Security Institute in Professional Safe Lock Opening, Combination Lock Manipulation, Safe Lock Servicing, and Access Control Technician, along with ASSA ABLOY Academy training for installing hollow metal doors and frames. He is a member of SAVTA and a licensed Fire Door Inspector, and the company offers complete door service from installing the door and frame to adding lock hardware and access control systems. Honk-Key also maintains its own restricted keyway, so duplicates of those keys can only be made by Honk-Key technicians.

FAQs
Do you offer 24/7 emergency locksmith services?
Yes. Honk-Key Lock & Safe provides emergency locksmith services including home, business, and vehicle lockouts, lost key replacements, and lock repairs after break-ins.
Can you cut a new key if I lost the original?
Yes. The team uses specialized tools such as a Lishi tool to read and decode a lock so a new key can be cut to match the pin pattern in the cylinder. If your car keys are lost and the locks are original, they can use the VIN to get the code needed to cut and program a new key.
Should I rekey my locks or replace them?
If your keys are lost or stolen, or if you have recently moved into a new home or business, rekeying is a cost-effective way to secure the property without replacing the entire lock.
How long does it take to program a transponder key or key fob?
Programming times vary by vehicle make and model. In most cases the team can complete transponder key programming on site in under an hour.
What should I do if my key breaks off inside a lock?
Do not try to remove it yourself, since that can cause further damage. Call the locksmiths and they will safely extract the broken key without damaging the lock.
Do you work on high-security locks and access control?
Yes. Honk-Key installs and services high-security locks, keyless entry systems, and advanced access control for residential and commercial properties. The company also has its own restricted keyway, so only Honk-Key technicians can create duplicates of those keys.
How much does a locksmith service cost?
Cost depends on the service required. Contact the company with what you need and they will provide a no-obligation quote. Pricing is upfront with no hidden fees.
Can you install smart locks for a vacation rental?
Yes. Honk-Key installs and programs smart locks that allow remote access and code management, which the company notes suits Airbnb and VRBO properties.
