They are wonderful. Max is AWESOME!

Call them! These people are absolutely amazing, knowledgeable and professional. They were able to fix in 2 hours something that Hyundai could not in years. Their prices are reasonable and the service and quality of work they provide, far surpasses anyone's expectations.

We bought a place with an unusual, DIY-installed lock in the sliding glass door with only one key. Lowe’s and Ace didn’t have the blank, so we came to American. The friendly gentleman who helped us was initially stumped but took finding the blank as a challenge. He said there are 40,000 key types in North America, and they carried “several thousand” of the most common types. After looking through a thick book and on the computer for over 10 minutes, he finally found it: it was the blank to a 1962 Volvo/Jaguar! He then made 4 flawless keys in under 2 minutes. He said he bet they’d probably had that box for at least 30 years and probably had the only box in the state - I believe him! Great, friendly professional service - go see American for all of your lock and security needs!

We had the pleasure of dealing with Max. He was courteous and professional from initial phone call to actually coming in and cutting a key and programming a new car fob. Within 24 hours was able to order fob, overnight deliver, call and had us come in. College age daughter had to get back to school for exam. Very friendly and efficient. Love them!!!!

Fair pricing, and got my old worn out key cut perfectly

American Lock and Key is fantastic. I needed a spare key programmed for my new truck, and they had a fob programmed and key cut in less than 10 minutes. No waiting days/weeks for a dealer appointment, and no dealer prices! I drove up (with no appointment) and they had everything done in only a few minutes. The longest part of the whole process was waiting for my receipt to print. Plus, the cost of programming was about $50 less than what the dealers quoted me over the phone.If anyone needs a new/spare key for any automobile (even the new fancy keys) go to American Lock and Key. They will save you both time and money.

David came to re-key our wonderful 1940s brass Corbin lock. Other locksmiths wanted to replace the complete set, but David made it look easy and he tightened up and lubricated the hardware. I strongly recommend! Our lock is very happy!
Marc Wagner
Was helped quickly and prices are very affordable. Thanks! 🙂
Jaimie Mills
Great customer service! Would come back for any key/lock needs!
David McKinney
Initially placed an order online and noticed on receipt that delivery (to GA) appeared missing.Called to confirm the order would be shipped and while I was on hold got a call from Max to check in on same. That's right, Max noticed a potential problem with an online order and called me in the next 10 minutes. Outstanding! Turns out that in addition to the shipping issue the part I needed was problematic to obtain (which was why I had to find it from so far away from GA). Max spoke with my by phone 4 more times throughout the day, found the part, and had it shipped to me.Great experience!
