I searched and searched for someone who would move a very large safe. These guys are the only ones who were willing to move anything over 800 lbs. Very professional movers of safes. The right tools make all the difference and they have them. Special suction cup handles, heavy duty pallet jacks, metal plates, large pry bar, metal ramps, dowels rods, 4x4's, and a special hydraulic trailer that lowers to the ground. With all of these tools it was still a job that required experience and they have it. The owner was honest and professional. Helped me solve a lock combination problem without charge. Highly recommend!!! read more

5 star products and service-- great selection in the showroom and their delivery team is excellent!

fast, personable, absolutely fantastic job! copied my keys perfectly. fair price and overall amazing experience.

OK, so a YEAR AGO {emphasis added} I hired these guys to do something for me. Well, something small didn't go as planned and I was busy taking care of a million other things. I finally got around to calling and explaining to them what happened. I realized the length of time for them to remember and correct the small error would be 'difficult'; remember...it's a year later! Well, I spoke to the Owner (Ed) who went above-and-beyond in taking care of my issue. Truly, he could have acted like my request was beneath him, but he didn't. He listened and took a leap of faith, knowing it was the 'right thing' to do. So, in a reply for his (their) great service and generosity, I would like to thank him publicly. I would absolutely work with these guys again. They are honest, truthful and go beyond what could be reasonably expected. 10-out-of-10. Thank you! read more

I needed new keys . They made them immediately for a very fair price. I will be back if i need keys again !!!

Reading the other reviews here only confirm what I discovered when used Action Lock recently. When you break a key in a lock you are at the mercy of the experts. Ed and his team do not take advantage of the situation. Not only did the fix my original issue for a fair price they re-cut a troubled key for no charge. Don't hesitate to call these folks, they are competent and fair. read more

First, a bit of information for those shopping for safes. What most safe stores sell, and online stores sell, are not safes; they are boxes that look big and strong, have a ton of bolts coming out of the door but will have a little sticker somewhere that says they're classified by UL as a residential security container (RSC). To get the UL RSC sticker, an enclosure must only resist an attack with hammer and small crow bar for five minutes. If the person has a large pry bar, a pick axe, etc., and especially if they are able to get to the side or back or knock the safe on the ground so the door is facing up, they will gain access to an RSC easily. So, when shopping, just consider an RSC an RSC; it doesn't matter if it has 85 bolts in the door where the lower model for a few hundred less 'only' has 25 bolts; they're all easily defeated by a determined attacker, so save your money and get the lower model since the higher one isn't buying you anything additional in reality. If you truly need a safe because you have belongings of very high value, then you want a safe with a UL rating of TL-15, TL-30 or above. These ratings mean that, with the design plans for the safe in hand and a selection of any tools (minus torches or explosives) they want to use, UL could not penetrate the safe with either 15 or 30 minutes of time where tools were actually touching the safe (i.e. the clock stops when they take a break to study the plans again or catch their breath). These are true safes and will stop nearly anyone. The downside is that due to the materials required, they are extremely heavy, so if you need it upstairs in a wood frame home, or possibly even on a 4" garage slab if not reinforced, you may not be able to accommodate the weight of a TL15+ safe as big ones get into the 3000+ pound range. Okay, that being said, Action Lock & Safe is great. They sell all types of safes in all types of sizes, from RSC's up to whatever you need, even if it's something crazy like a TRTL-30 rated safe which can withstand 30 minutes of attack with a cutting torch and all the other tools. They offer optional in-house delivery and will even bolt the safe to the floor for you if you want them to. I've used them for both types of safes (RSC's and actual safe's), have used them for an in-home delivery and just a curbside, which is free, and have been very happy with them both times. Their staff are knowledgeable and friendly. read more

I recently faced a situation at my home with one of my entry doors. I immediately called Action Lock and Safe. Having done business with them many years ago, I attempted to explain my situation. Ms. Kim said, "No worries, we'll take care of you". She sent one of her guys, Wes out to my home and he assessed the situation. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the situation was not as bad as I first thought. Wes walked me through my options, spent time explaining various items and allowed me to make an informed decision. I felt comfortable with learning from him without feeling forced to make a purchase. I would use this company any time. I've used them 14 years ago when I relocated to a home and again today, I've used their services. Thank you Kim and Wes...... read more

Action lock and safe is so nice! Jose and Ed got right to work helping me fix my broken car key. Thank you for your help guys!

They did a great job. Very helpful and efficient. Pretty reasonable price for all the time it took them.

I've used Action Lock and Safe several times over the last decade. The last two times were for evening emergencies (one for a tenant, and one for myself), and they came out within the hour both times. I am impressed with how helpful they are, and the prices are very good. I thought for sure with those two evening calls I'd be charged an arm and a leg, but instead they were fair and, more importantly, friendly, despite it being after hours. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone. read more

I was very disappointed in the customer service. Someone else hired them to come into my home and move a safe that the person had purchased from me. A man and a teenager showed up. The man was not very pleasant, and acted like he was in a total rush. Once he got the safe out of the bedroom and was wheeling it towards the door, I saw from my office as the teenager opened up a closed (and latched) door to a different bedroom and looked around. When I brought this to the man's attention, he proceeded to tell me that "he's a trustworthy kid, so I'm not worried about it". Well, that is NOT the point. The point is he invaded my privacy and had absolutely NO business looking into that room. I should've said something to the kid right there on the spot, but I was too stunned. I am appalled that the man did not even apologize to me, and instead minimized my feelings. I will never recommend this company to anyone I know. read more
