About the Owner, Austin Hohnke

After exiting the U.S Army in 2014, I got locked out of my home in Ft. Myers, FL and called a local locksmith to help me get back inside. I was so impressed with the work the locksmith did unlocking my door, the next day I applied for a job and was hired as a safe moving technician. After moving hundreds of safes, I began working on locks and vehicles keys as well. I really enjoyed the work I was doing and thought I’d like it even more if I were my own boss.

Fast forward to 2020, I moved to Montrose, CO and started my own locksmith company, Honk-Key Lock & Safe. I have completed training programs from Lockmasters Security Institute in Nicholasville, KY including Professional Safe Lock Opening, Combination Lock Manipulation, Safe Lock Servicing, and Access Control Technician.

I’m a member of SAVTA (Safe And Vault Technicians Association) and have a passion for working with safes/vault doors. I have completed training at the ASSA ABLOY Academy in Ontario, Canada for installing hollow metal doors and frames. I’m also a licensed Fire Door Inspector. My company offers complete door service from installing the door/frame, adding the lock hardware, to installing access control systems. We make keys for most vehicles, including: all keys lost, keys by code, spare key duplication, ignition repairs & replacements, key & remote programming.

In 2025 we are opening a second storefront location in Grand Junction, CO to better serve our community.

Great service from technician Austin in Grand Junction, CO.

Saved my mother's day! My one year old locked herself in the car with my key faub and the car was off and in the sun. The owner or the employee showed up in 5 minutes and got the door open in 30 seconds. He was very generous and did not charge me for the service. As you can imagine our whole family and my daughter was pretty upset by the incident but thank the lord for Honk key lock and safe. I cannot thank you enough for acting so quickly.

Timely, communicative, professional, upfront, and provided quality service. Honk-Key & Safe was helpful when dealing with a faulty safe lock and even provided additional support after the service call.

Jason was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. When I called to express my situation he knew exactly what I needed to fix the problem. When doing the work he was very friendly and fast, He had the part replaced/programmed in less than 10min. (Possibly faster if I didn't talk his ear off so much) Highly recommend!
