Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

We are located at the corner of Libbie and West Broad Street.  3 Store behind Priscilla’s Lingerie on Spencer Road.  Call us at 804-282-6060 if you can’t find us.

What are your hours?

Our office showroom is open M-F 8am-5pm.

I just moved into a new house, what should I do?

At the very least you should immediately have all your doors rekeyed because you don’t know who was given keys in the past by the former owner.  Every place that a key can go in should be rekeyed to fit a new key.  Also, get a spare key cut for emergencies.

I’m locked out of my car, can you help?

Yes, American Lock & Key has all the necessary tools and training to get you into your car safely.  Be careful not to get lured by the promise of $15 service call.  If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Are you a licensed locksmith in Virginia?

Yes, American Lock & Key is licensed with the Department of Criminal Justice.  DCJS # is 11-3052.

Can you make car keys?

Yes! We can make you a car key, even if you have zero working car keys. If you need spare keys, we can make extra car keys, even high security chip keys, laser keys, transponder keys, remotes, and key FOBS.

They were able to make me a new car key while reusing my old transponder and microchip. Affordable price, quick, and friendly.

Ken Jordan
Needed to install a variety of locks on 5 exterior doors, including a wifi keypad, and key them the same. Very professional, efficient, and accurate work. Kyle was great. Would definitely use again!
Response from the owner:Hi Ken, We're thrilled to hear that you were pleased with our service. Thanks for choosing American Lock & Key!
Norvell Whitaker
Wow! If I could give them ten stars I would. I rolled in twenty minutes before closing time with a personal safe that would not open… containing a passport needed ASAP for a trip. Everyone on staff this afternoon stayed late and tried every single tool in the shop without giving up and they did it!! They managed to open a nearly impenetrable safe for me, with a smile even though it was past closing time. I am hugely indebted to them and very grateful. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Hi Norvell, We're thrilled to hear about your experience. Thank you for the 5 star rating and choosing American Lock & Key!
