    This is the lever door handle that fell off that Herman secured instantly!
    Lisa E.

    Affordablee Lock and Key contacted me very quickly and we set up a time for the following day. Herman kept me aprised of the arrival time. He did also tell me that the minimum charge is $91 which I approved. Our lever on our interior door to the garage had fallen off. We tried several fixes, you tube guidance, google suggestions and could not get the handle to stay on ourselves. Herman came, took out a allen wrench type tool, tightened some screw and the door lever was secure! He even took off the "collar" of the door knob so that he could tighten the actual door knob. Took a total of 2 minutes. That is exactly what an expert can do. As we all have read, the fact that an expert can do it in a short time, does not mean that he should be compensated for that "short time", please keep in mind that it took years for him to learn his trade and that is what we are repaying him for, not the quick service call.

    They went out of their way to make a set of keys for our vehicle ASAP. We will use this service again when the need arises.

    Astonishing. Two excellent jobs performed by ace lock and key. Eithan (pronounced Issa) was once…read moreagain the guy I would hire. In my first review, the biggest concern was the installation of a high-end lock. High-end locks tend to have a lot of technical detail which I have outlined previously. I submitted my request for a locksmith to duplicate my car key to Yelp projects. For some bizarre reason, I thought that locksmiths might split into two groups. A) locksmith that specialize in installing high-end locks and B) locksmith that duplicated electronic car keys. So I ran a fresh Yelp project search. Once again, I am happy to be wrong. Once again, Issa was the locksmith who went the extra mile and made sure he knew what was going on with the key before he accepted the job. His cost estimate was more than reasonable. Even compared to very competitive alternatives. I had called the dealership and gotten estimates of how much it would cost to duplicate the key. It's no surprise that compared to any locksmith, the price was exorbitant. Even the dealership was unable to recommend the OEM duplicate because it was just completely unreasonable. They recommended the lowest cost key that worked. They displayed absolutely no surprise at the difference in price between a locksmith and the dealership and were quite congenial about recommending the locksmith. The one con about the lowest cost duplicate is longevity. They tend not to last as long. But a significant portion of the population won't actually keep the car long enough to wear out the duplicate. And for the price you can afford at least two duplicates compared to the OEM. In addition, I thought that the equipment to duplicate an electronic lock would be bulky and I thought I would have to drive to the home location of the locksmith in order to get it duplicated. Once again, I am happy to be completely wrong. Issa drove over to my place, the equipment needed was completely mobile. Depending on the key, the duplication varies from half an hour to one hour. Because Issa offers such reasonable rates additional cost may be added to the bill should they be necessary. Turns out for my car he didn't have the security codes. Purchasing the security code was a very reasonable $25. In addition, it's best if you can pay Issa with cash or perhaps a personal check. He adds whatever percentage the credit card company is charging him for the transaction. Even with the small additional costs, the final price remained the most competitive. Issa makes generous time estimates for his arrival. He estimated arrival in a half an hour and gave me the heads up via text, but arrived early. Once again, I had some admittedly, obscure and rather nitpicky questions about the state of the art in criminal activities related to locks and how to protect myself. Once again,Issa displayed comprehensive knowledge about the topic. One key point. Issa double checked to make sure I was the registered owner of the car. Now with my previous lock, I already had the keys so it's fairly obvious I owned the lock. No locksmiths likes to be hired to essentially break in to somebody else's place. I'm a little vague on the details, but I believe locksmiths can be held legally accountable in such situations. At the very least, they can lose their license. As in forever. I admit the duplication of an electronic key for an automobile seems relatively straightforward and simple compared to my previous installation of a high-end lock. It demands a lot more expert knowledge on the part of the locksmith and wide understanding of the field to deal with these locks. But maybe electronic locks are in fact, highly technical and Issa made it look easy. It's easy to tell the make of the car just by looking at the key, but he knew the year. Now this is something I normally don't notice but Issa is a congenial and friendly guy. I found his manner reassuring. He displayed no impatience whatsoever with my questions both amateur or obscure.
