Over 150 years of locksmith work! Has a physical location in East Nashville. This is a nice family owned business- one of the oldest in Nashville. I had an unusual lock that needed a new cylinder and I brought it to them and they were up for the challenge.

Excellent customer service every time! I took in an odd key (Home Depot/Lowes couldn't copy) that was broken in half, and they successfully made me a new key.

Not a service that we use a lot but it's the only one we go to for this type of work. Long time Nashville business. We have had them change the locks on our business doors as well as make copies of odd types of keys. Great customer service.

Awesome service! Damian was a huge help. When nobody else in Nashville could copy my key, they did it with ease. Highly recommend!

After scouring the greater Nashville area to have keys copied for my business with no success, I found Hosse & Hosse. They had everything I needed and couldn't find anywhere else. Damian (the good looking guy with tattoos) was so kind and accommodating and completely made my day. (Seriously, he's a gem.) I can't say enough good things about this place and the people there. 10/10 would recommend.

Bought a new car fob online and took it to them to program. Great service, courteous friendly staff, and fair price. Finished it while I waited in a very short time. Really glad I found them.

After a year of watching Lock-Picking-Lawyer and Bosniabill videos to fall asleep, I had pretty high expectations of locksmiths. These guys exceeded it. Also just a fascinating shop to spend a half hour while you wait for keys. Service: Lock rekeying

The best customer service I have received in a very long time! I needed a specific key copied and had called around to several locksmiths in the area. Each one tried to rip me off for something that is specific, yet simple. Hosse and Hosse saved me a great deal of money, time, and headache. Honest people who did not try to take advantage of the customer. I will definitely only use this company going forward and I recommend everyone else do the same!

Went to every store in Davidson County to get a replacement key made for my trailer and no place could do it. Then I was sent here. Not only did they do what others called impossible, they did it a smile. The prices were so good that I had them to make me 3 more of the key for good measure. Keep up the great work!

They do and sell everything locks and safes. I go here to get keys cut and copied. They have always worked. They change the batteries in my car remote. They sell car remotes and can program many. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. The prices are very comparably low. I love this family owned and run business.
