Minute Key

Minute Key runs locksmith work out of a spot inside the Walmart Supercenter at 23561 US HWY 59 in Porter, Texas. The outfit focuses on key duplication along with fob copies and car key copies. Their hours run twenty four hours a day every day from Monday through Sunday so the doors stay open for anyone needing copies or basic lock work at any time.

Reviewers describe coming in for copies of keys that fit deadbolts and other house locks with most turning out usable right away though a mailbox key once failed to work. Some stop by for car key copies that start the vehicle without trouble after the process finishes. A few mention using the service to unlock a car door only to face a bill that reached one hundred thirty dollars which stood out as high next to other options like a tow truck.

The setup sits right on US HWY 59 and customers note the whole copy job moves fast with little to no line or wait time at the kiosk. People say the steps stay simple and direct for standard key work though one review pointed out the shop would not cut a new key to match a cylinder brought in by the customer. Pricing details surface mainly around car unlocks where the total came in higher than expected for some.
