Need a good locksmith in the DFW area

All

On my wife's 2011 electra glide, I installed a set of bags from a 2014. I was hoping to use the locks from her existing saddlebags but the stop on the back of the 2011 locks is in a different location than the ones on the 2014 bags - go figure.

So I need to get these locks rekeyed to match the ignition. I know I can get new locks from HD but it is probably cheaper to get it done by a locksmith if I can find one who actually answers the phone (most use an answering service to send folks out) - I am looking for a physical shop I can go to.

Any suggestions?

Action Lock-Doc in Richardson does good work for all my lock/key issues. Last week they did a programmed transponder/keyless entry key for me.

I got a new, keyed to my current keys, lock for $20 from Hal's HD online. $40 to solve your issue. Not sure you can get a locksmith for less than $40. Can't even get a car door opened for less than that.

Each lock on the 2014 and later saddlebags cost $48.99 MSRP. I even looked up the locks for a 2011 (which has a different part number and they are also $48.99 each.
