One county seat, three small towns and a lot of farmland
Bedford County had 50,237 residents at the 2020 census. Shelbyville is the county seat and by far the largest place. The other incorporated towns are small: Wartrace, Bell Buckle and Normandy each had well under 1,000 people in 2020. Unionville, in the north of the county, is an unincorporated census-designated place.
Carved from Rutherford County in 1807, it borders Rutherford, Coffee, Moore, Lincoln and Marshall counties. Shelbyville sits on a bluff above the Duck River.
Bedford County towns at a glance
Bell Buckle
A small railroad town with a downtown on the National Register of Historic Places and The Webb School, a boarding and day school. Its RC Cola & Moon Pie festival and the Webb School Arts & Crafts Fair bring crowds and full parking areas. SR 82 links it to I-24 to the east and toward Shelbyville to the west.
Wartrace
Northeast of Shelbyville, Wartrace grew up as a depot on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad and is known as the cradle of the Tennessee Walking Horse. Horse farms mean barns, tack rooms, trailers and gates with padlocks.
Normandy and the lake
The tiny town of Normandy sits just southwest of Normandy Dam, the TVA dam on the Duck River at the Bedford–Coffee county line. Normandy Reservoir draws anglers and boaters, and lake lots are hard to find by street address.
Honest timing for a county south of the metro
Shelbyville is about 53 miles from Nashville, and most of Bedford County is reached on two-lane and divided highways. US 231 and US 41A meet in Shelbyville, while I-24 passes to the east, reached from Bell Buckle on SR 82.
Bedford County is outside the cities where Instant Locksmith TN keeps a one-hour deployment goal. Instead we tell you plainly how long a technician will take, based on where our nearest technician is, demand, traffic, weather and the job.
What we do in Bedford County
Most calls are vehicle lockouts on trucks and SUVs, house lockouts and rekeying after a home or farm changes hands. Horse and cattle operations ask about trailer, gate and barn padlocks and shop and outbuilding locks. Lost keys for pickups and tow vehicles are handled through lost car key service, and campers and horse-trailer living quarters through RV and camper locksmith work.
Bedford County locksmith pricing
The same price rules apply countywide. Car lockout: $55+. Rekeying: $55 per cylinder. Ignition cylinder replacement: quoted before dispatch. Online orders pay the flat $15–$25 service call at checkout as the deposit: $15 inside city or town limits, $25 outside (plus a 4% online processing fee).
- Standard rate: orders placed 7 AM–8 PM
- After hours (orders placed 8 PM–7 AM): 1.5×
- Federal holidays (calendar date and observed date): 2×
- Federal holiday, after hours: 3×
- No weekend surcharge
- Mileage: $1.25/mile beyond 5 miles from the city center
Multipliers apply to everything on the job (service, labor, parts and hardware) except the flat $15 (inside city limits) or $25 (outside city limits) service call and mileage. The after-hours rate is set by the time the order is placed. Holidays are U.S. federal holidays, billed on both the calendar date and the observed weekday. “Inside city limits” means inside a city’s or town’s legally recognized limits. Mileage is measured from the city center (downtown) of the nearest city we serve, and dispatch shows it before work begins.
Rural addresses usually carry the $25 call plus mileage; both are in your quote before you pay. See the Payment & Deposit Policy and full pricing details.

Bedford County locksmith FAQ
Can you open a locked horse trailer or its tack-room door?
Yes. Trailer tack-room and living-quarters doors use locks similar to RV compartment and entry locks. Describe the trailer and lock when ordering, and send a photo by text or email if you can.
I'm locked out at Normandy Reservoir. Can you get to me?
Yes, if the ramp or parking area is reachable by road. Name the ramp or recreation area and drop a map pin. Arrival takes longer than in Shelbyville, and you'll see the ETA before you pay.
Do Bell Buckle and Wartrace addresses pay the $15 or $25 service call?
Addresses inside Bell Buckle's or Wartrace's legally recognized town limits pay $15. Addresses outside any town limits pay $25. Mileage is added only beyond 5 miles from the center of the nearest city we serve.
Can you rekey a farmhouse and its outbuildings to one key?
Usually, if the locks share a compatible keyway. Rekeying is $55 per cylinder plus the service call, and we can key the house, shop and barn doors alike. Padlocks may need replacing rather than rekeying.
Is Bedford County served after dark?
Yes, 24/7/365. Orders placed between 8 PM and 7 AM are billed at 1.5×, and a long rural drive at night can take a while, so we give you an honest ETA before you commit.
