Real reviews
What folks are saying.
Straight from our customers.
“Randy was a life saver. My son was in Cookeville playing basketball for Tech and had left his keys on a road trip. I called Randy and told him I hadn't seen my boy since Christmas and asked if he could help. Randy met him at the dorms after hours and made him a key and got my son on the road. I really appreciate Randy and what he did for my family with me being so far away.”
“Randy was great, prompt, and fair. He returned my call immediately and was able to come to my aid even though it was out of his way. I recommend Gentry Locks.”
Common questions
Things folks ask us a lot.
Not seeing your question? Just give us a call — we're happy to talk it through.
Are you really available 24 hours a day?
Yes. Randy answers the phone day or night, weekends and holidays included. If you're locked out, just call (931) 979-1462.
What areas of Tennessee do you serve?
We're based in Cookeville and cover the entire Upper Cumberland region — Crossville, Sparta, Livingston, Algood, Baxter, Monterey, Smithville, Jamestown, Byrdstown, Gainesboro, and the surrounding cities and counties.
How fast can you get to me?
Response time depends on your location and the time of day, but most calls in the Cookeville area are handled the same day — and emergencies as fast as we safely can. Call us and we'll give you a real ETA.
Do you make car keys?
Yes — we can help with car lockouts, replacement keys, and basic ignition issues on most vehicles. Call with your make, model, and year so we can confirm before heading out.
How much does a locksmith call cost?
Pricing depends on the job, but we're known for being fair and up front. We'll give you an honest estimate over the phone before we ever show up — no surprise fees.
Can you rekey my locks instead of replacing them?
Absolutely. Rekeying is often cheaper than replacing the whole lock and works great for new homeowners, tenant turnover, or anytime you've lost track of who has a key.
