American Lock & Key responded so quickly! Keys were stolen along with other personal property. Scott C. was there within an hour, re-keying old locks and making extra keys from blanks that are harder to find. The cost was very reasonable, and his proficiency was priceless.Highly recommend!Thanks.

This is my second time using them. Tyler installed a new smart keypad lock for my door. He was great, fast, efficient and knowledgeable of the product he was installing and helped set up the app with me. Will use them again.

Elizabeth Nissly

Was looking to copy keys for a 76 Vette I just bought and American Lock and key was not only able to do it they had the key blanks on hand to include the GM stamped ignition key. Thanks for the quick customer oriented service. Would definitely revisit if needed.

Jim Shaw

This is specifically a review of Scott from American Lock and Key. Scott was extremely helpful, professional, and friendly. He arrived punctually and got to work straight away. After swapping out a few locks and rekeying others, he took the time to explain how to add and remove codes from our new keypad rather than just leaving us with instructions or the manual.

Robert Snyder
