I just wanted to share my positive experience this evening and a recommendation for locksmiths if you are looking for a locksmith please consider AM&PM locksmith 215.808.8227. I live several hours from my parents and I called AM&PM at 10pm tonight because my parents contacted me that they were locked out of their house as the tumbler to their front door lock was broken. Within 30-40 mins of my call to AM&PM, the locksmith, Shay Ankori, was at their house, had the old tumbler out and a new lock and key installed. I also asked them not to charge my parents but that I would pay for the work and they were very accommodating and sent me a Venmo link for payment as I didn't want my parents going to an ATM late at night for cash. I can't say how thankful I am to know that there are still kind and excellent human beings in this world. I highly recommend AM&PM. read more

This business owner made us a duplicate Lexus key and supposed to change a cracked shell on original key. When he was done, I went to the car to test the keys, 1 NEW key had a microcracked shell. I asked him to fix it and was told there are no more shells available, he will get new shell and fix it for me next week, no charge, no problem. Called him next week and no luck, Then sets up another appointment for Friday after next and he fixed the problem on a Sunday, gave us another new key with a shell. Professional locksmith who stands behind his work. It took a little longer then expected, but they came through and took care of our key. Thank you read more

If I could give no stars I would. I called them first. The man was sounding like he was in bed, wasn't friendly. Said he be there. No estimated time of arrival, no service fee cost noted. I called another locksmith they came right away. I called AM&PM to cancel and the man said very demanding that I was not allowed to cancel once I called to order a locksmith. I had not paid for anything and was already helped by someone else, paid and the job was completed. AM&PM guy was rude and instead of saying ok thank you sorry we were unable to help you or anything nice he just hung on me angrily. read more

Be Careful when dealing with this Locksmith. He said his name was Shay. He programmed a 4-button FOB for me, while knowing that I needed a 5-button FOB. He never asked my permission for the substitution, and I have been having problems with the FOB since 2-days after he programmed it. He never agreed to correct the problem. After I reached him on the phone once, he told me he would call me back; he never did. And he did not respond to my phone messages. Be careful when dealing with this locksmith! read more

Needed a replacement key for Acura MDX. I bought the blank key FOB from Amazon and then AM&PM did the key cut and chip programming. Very nice guy and keys made for a very reasonable price. read more

Needed a key replacement, made an appointment, and got a new key. Easy, quick, and easy on the wallet. I definitely recommend this business!

SHOULD'VE WROTE THIS LIKE YESTERDAY! Excellent service, fast response, fast to show up. Did a great job, and the price wasn't too bad. The tech Ron communicated with me the whole way. Sent me pics of the work via text, emailed my receipts and didn't take all of 30 minutes to change the door locks. Afterwards when I finally got a sec to check the work in person, it worked so smoothly how it supposed to!!! This is the type of service I look for every time! I forgot to mention they took debit card, over the phone. Which is very important to me. read more

AM&PM Locksmith - Smooth and functional - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Terrific experience! Fast and affordable. Got the job done right on the first try. Very professional. I would definitely recommend.

Shay is AWESOME. He arrives quickly, communicates effectively, prices reasonably and ALWAYS gets the job done. I have used his services on many occasions and I would never call another locksmith. read more

Sent a message about a car key replacement. Was sent back an generic message and was asked to call in. I called in the next day and was told that he will reach back to me. Never got a call back. Went to the dealership instead and got it done in less than an hour. Maybe he didn't want to provide the service and could have told me instead of keeping me waiting for days for a call. read more

Friendly person, but not very professional. My day was heavily impacted by their running very late with no contact. Price wasn't great either. read more

Very friendly helpful service. Installed locks on two of our box trucks. Affordable service.

Place is about ten bucks cheaper than most for a car lockout. That being said, I called at 2pm and was told he was finishing up and would be to me in 15 minutes. He came at 530. Job was done quick, but no apology for the lateness. Id pay 10 more for on time honestly. Update- Owner texted me explaining the lateness issue and apologizing. Updated rating because of this. read more

I bought a car and drove it from NYC to Philly without a problem. But after I got home I somehow activated the alarm system and could not step on the brake without my car siren sounding obnoxiously; essentially, I had a car that I couldn't drive. Contacted AM&PM yesterday and had an appointment for this morning for the car to be looked at; also, I wanted to make a spare key since I was only given one master key. Well, I think I was somehow lost in the system because the technician did not show within the time frame. But after I called back I was told that he would be there within the hour, and everything went uphill from then on. Shay was courteous and professional and disarmed the alarm system and made a transponder key for me in no time. The key cost $145 (so it's definitely more than what the previous reviewer paid for but I think it also depends on the car; I think $145 is still reasonable for a transponder key though); all in all I got me a new key and a drivable car for $225 so I think that was pretty decent. I am satisfied with the service and will use them again if I ever have the misfortune of experiencing lock problems in the future. Edit: Not even 20 mins after this review was up Shay called and apologized for being late to the appointment. He stated he would refund the service fee. I was very surprised and pleased that he took the time to look at the reviews and actually cared. As I said before, I was satisfied with the service because AM&PM really knew what they were doing. But now I'm impressed at the customer service as well. read more

On a recent frigid winter morning, I realized that I had lost the only set of keys I have to my car (folks, always have a spare, somewhere). I originally called West Philadelphia Locksmith, but after a horrible phone experience with that company, I consulted Yelp for a second recommendation and found AM PM. The owner and locksmith who responded to my call, Shai, was courteous, professional and efficient. He managed to get from Northeast Philly to South Philly in about 45 minutes (during rush hour traffic, no less), and in a little over an hour, he had made not one but two keys to my car. I highly recommend. Obviously the other Yelp reviewers who've used AM PM Locksmith feel the same. read more

I was pretty bummed out as a disaster struck due to a lost car key. VWs require special keys with a security chip in them, so they cannot be made at any hardware store. Dealers are notorious for overcharging and ripping you off. I searched a VW internet forum to educate myself on the requirements for the keys and the proper method to find a locksmith who specialized in them. some googling and checking of reviews brought me to AM&PM The owner, Shay, was able to set me up with an appointment the same day and he was even able to meet me sooner than scheduled-- as I had told him how dire the situation was with the key and such. Once I made it to AM&PM, Shay had my key made in @5-10 minutes. The prices were right in line with what I had found on the internet and without any dealer scams or hassles. As a bonus, Shay provided me with a more useful key than the only one I had left. The VW keys come in different forms--remote, master, and valet. You cannot re-program a remote without two keys--one of which must be a master. All I had was a valet key, but Shay's machine cuts them as a master. So, now if I get a remote key from ebay or amazon I can program it myself. Shay was also kind enough to offer me a discount on cutting the blanks for any remote keys I bring in. --However, keep in mind that YMMV when it comes to programmability of keys, fobs, and remotes. Some cars have special computer settings and will only recognize a key if you specifically re-program the car computer to do so. This will necessitate a trip to a dealer or knowing someone with the proper computer interface for your car. My VW was an older model, so it does not have this issue. I did not ask Shay if he had access to the computer stuff needed to program the keys for newer model VWs. In any case, I got another key made fast, it worked perfectly, and it is the better key to have than the valet key I had (which cannot open the trunk.) Now I can open every lock on the car and re-program remotes if needed. If you read the other reviews you will find that they are uniformly excellent. This locksmith treated me right and I would not hesitate to recommend him. Shay turned what I thought was going to be a complete hassle into a manageable situation and his work was impeccable. Totally worth the drive from Fishtown to the Northeast. read more

Had to get my locks changed. Called up and was told they would be there in 45 minutes. I got a call and Garrett was already there. Since I was still on my way and stuck in traffic I felt bad and thought they would leave. Nope, he asked what I needed and did the work. Could have charged extra but was honest and told me I didn't need the dead bolt removed. By the time I got there everything was complete and I just needed to pay. Awesome service. Awesome prices. Would recommend them to anybody. read more

I cannot say enough about how amazing the service was with them! They were quick and the price was reasonable for after hour service. I was locked out of my house due to the latch breaking in my door. They came and got me back into the house so quickly and even fixed an existing issue. Would definitely use again!!!! read more

So there I was...locked out of my new house with no spare keys any where. After I unsuccessfully tried to break in to my own house (including kicking the door and climbing over a 9 ft concrete wall to my backyard) I realized that I can either sit outside for the next 8 hours until my husband came home or call a lock smith. Thankfully my new neighbor was home (since my phone was locked inside) and we googled locksmiths. The first quote was literally $125 more than AM&PM so I was very glad I kept shopping around. They were at my house within 15 minutes and I was inside 10 minutes after that. Lesson learned...give a neighbor a key! But if you didn't AM&PM is a good back up! read more

I called AM PM Locksmith after my bike key broke in the lock. I was able to coordinate a time with Shay to come assess the situation and free my bike. We discussed options: 1.) dig broken key out and leave the bike until a replacement key arrived OR 2.) cut the lock. He said that even with the broken key removed the lock couldn't be picked so we decided to cut the lock and in a few short seconds my bike was free again. He had all the tools needed to get the job done and at my convenience. I'd definitely recommend him to others and will keep the AM PM Locksmith number on hand for other key/lock needs. read more

Shay is wonderful, he helped me out with 4 separate lock changes in a matter of 3 hours after calling at 7pm and then came for another lock change first thing the next morning. I'd give him 100 stars if I could. He's also very affordable Thank again!! read more

I lost my key for my car a few weeks ago. I've been out of town and my car is parked in my driveway so it was no big deal. I did a lot of research while searching every corner of my house and chose am & pm, even tho I got a good quote from another locksmith because of the great reviews on yelp. I figured I may run the risk of paying a bit more I figured you cant put a price on great service. I called at 930 this morning from a friends phone, my iphone is on the fritz again and I need my car to get to my apple store. Now I need my car,geez!! (One heck of a morning) So I'm stressed enough. This was my first impression and experience when I called................ (phone ringing) (sleepy sounding person(didn't identify themselves): hello me: um, Good Morning is this am & pm locksmith?? (sounding like I bothered their sleep): yea me: ok well I lost my car key and wanted to speak to someone about coming out and helping me out (sleepy person): what your numer? me: um........ I'm having some issues with my phone right now so I'm not sure what my number is, the number that came up on your caller ID is the number you can reach me at (sleepy person): well I can't start without a number me: oh........ well I'm gonna have to call u back then with the number. I don't know it off the top of my head. I paused and was going to ask if I could just get a price quote but the person hung up. My thing is honestly I don't give my number out unless I'm going to go with the service. I wanted a quote and a good customer service experience. perhaps a "good morning" or a little understanding?? I hung up and called my original locksmith choice. I'm stressed enough I don't need to feel as tho my issue doesn't need to be addressed. Lot of choices of locksmiths and they should work on their employees who pick up the phone. Perhaps identifying the business that is being called or identifying yourself. Lots of people are unemployed myself included and would love to work in a place where they can help people who are stuck between a rock and a hard place. If you don't like ur job......... get a different one and stop taking it our on paying customers!!!!!!! Thanks but no thanks AM & PM!!!!! read more

I called AMPM locksmith for my house where i have a very old lock as well as a rental property, very professional, knows the problem and the solution in a matter of minutes the lock was fixed and replaced damaged parts. Reasonably priced, a true pro! read more

My fault - locked myself out so I called these guys based on the great reviews. Said they would be here in 25 minutes. After 50 minutes I called back and after another 5 minutes they called back and said it would be 15 more minutes...25 minutes after that, still no locksmith. So...if you're locked out don't call these guys...they are completely undependable. Fortunately a neighbor came home who is clever with tools. I would give 0 stars if that were an option but alas it isn't. Update: I cancelled the service (and received a text confirming the cancellation)...but the locksmith then called and said he was "3 minutes away". I told him I had cancelled. Fifteen minutes later he calls and says he is in my building. I told him AGAIN that I had cancelled. He wouldn't leave...didn't seem to understand the word "cancelled" nor the phrase "we made other arrangements". He finally left when I threatened to call the police. DO NOT CALL THIS COMPANY IF YOU ARE LOCKED OUT!!! read more

Great job fast and understanding. I was locked out my home on a Sunday. Got me in my home in seconds. Thanks a lot.

Quick 24hr effificent locksmith. Charlie was our tech and he was very fast and understanding. The work was done well and quickly. Not the cheapest but we didn't mind paying for same day quick excellent service. We couldn't be more pleased. read more

Needed to have an electric keypad lock installed (Schlage). Shay provided a reasonable quote ($110) and while I was flexible on date of installation, he was able to fit me in his schedule the day after initial contact. While he arrived an hour later than the appointment, I was fine with that. However, that's where the positive review ends. Hopefully, he was just having a bad day but he basically came in, installed the lock, and IT DID NOT WORK. We tried to figure out what was wrong with it and he suggested that it was due to a defect in the lock itself (I had just bought it from Amazon a day ago and this was not my first time hiring someone to install this type of lock). He did try to see what was wrong with it at my request but seemed that he didn't want to be here or cared that the lock that he installed DID NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. I then called Schlage's customer service and he seemed to be in a rush to get to either another appointment or just somewhere else even though he was only here for ~30 minutes and came an hour late. He just told me to stay on the line with customer service and that they could fix whatever was wrong with the keypad and then he left. I have never experienced this type of service where a locksmith does not properly install a lock and just leaves and tells me that I can call him later after I'm done with customer service to provide him my credit card info for billing. After 30 minutes on the phone with Schlage's customer service and using my regular screwdriver to take apart the entire lock, customer service instructed me to re-put the lock together and tried to determine the source of the problem. Turns out that the AA batteries were put in incorrectly (+/- on the wrong side). After having fixed the keypad and lock myself, I called Shay to let him know that customer service had helped me fix it and the source of the problem. He did not seem to care at all. I still paid him the $110 because a contract is a contract but feel like this was the worst service I have ever had. I manage rentals on the side and am new to Philly so this was my first time hiring someone in the local area. I will never use this service again and could have just done this on my own had I realized that paying an expert who doesn't care about the actual job, in this case, was a total waste of time and money. I don't mind the attitude or impatience but I don't understand how someone can just leave in the middle of a job unresolved and still only care about getting paid and being out of the place in 30 minutes. read more

Very dissapointed. Despite all the great reviews here I did not have a good experience. Needed an ignition lock cylinder replaced in my car. Was told at 9 am someone would be out by 1. The locksmith called me at 12:30 and said he was 45 to an hour away. Didn't show up until after 2 o'clock. I was charged $325 for the job, which is ridiculous but I was stuck and had to get the car off the street, which I think he knew that. And he left my car a complete mess. Make sure to get a ball park price, from this company. I was quoted $150-160 for this job but the other company couldn't get to me right away. Had I known I would have waited. read more

Had a great experience with AM/PM. We are new to the Main Line and needed some old locks changed and re-keyed. I called around to comparison shop based on Yelp reviews. Ultimately I landed on AM/PM based on the reviews and the general confidence I had in them after a brief call. Shuy showed up on time and was great. He was honest about what needed to be done, worked with me on the price (there were 9 locks), gave me good advice, and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. The work was done pretty quickly, he answered all my questions, and was really accommodating when I wanted to modify something after the work had been done. He also was diligent about cleaning things up after the work was done. Great experience and will definitely hang onto his number and refer him to others. You can't go wrong with them. Thanks Shuy! read more

I have used these guys twice. The first time they came out and made a key for a lock that I had lost. The second time they looked at a problem I was having with a lock, jiggled it a few times, and made it work, and didn't charge for the call, since he was on his way home anyway. Quality service and craftsmanship. read more

I've managed to lock myself out of my apartment twice now; both times at 4am. Both times, AMPM has been there within 30 minutes, and been great about it! Tonight he had me inside within less than a minute. Great service, and he even remembered my name, at 4AM no less! Highly recommended!!! read more

We found ourselves in a jam on Thursday evening, and a very professional locksmith showed up within 20 minutes just as he said when he would show up. He was fantastic. Thank you so much! read more

Needed to replace 3 locks in my courtyard. Shay from AMPM was the best price and the most knowledgable. Did the job as stated and everything works great. I highly recommend AMPM. read more

Very helpful!! We locked our keys in our car - found him on yelp. He came very quickly and was flexible as to when we could get back to our car. (We had an engagement to get to). Very nice guy, quick service and reasonable pricing! read more

Called AM&PM to get a price estimate for a new transponder keep for a 2015 Jeep that only had one key. I called a few other places and then went back to AM&PM the next day. It was about $40 cheaper than the average rate @ $189. Shay said he'd call and I could swing by the shop on Bustleton. Went up and took a total of 10 minutes and now I have a brand new key. He also provided me with the pin code in case I'd like to get another in the future and save me a diagnostic fee from other places. I've had a previous experience with this business a year or so ago. Needed a key type that wasn't available at the big box stores and was able to get it cut here. Worked like a charm. Only downside is since this is a 24 hr on call business, the storefront isn't always staffed. Calling ahead is more than likely the best way instead of randomly driving up. I'd highly recommend AM&PM for locksmith service. read more

Awesome service. Arrived early, called with updates and made easy recommendations for home locks that were quality and would last, without unnecessary electronic options I was considering. Great service, perfect quality and Shay backs everything up. 5 star reviews for a reason. Thanks for the home door upgrades, will take a bomb to break in now. read more

I am so impressed by the service that AMPM locksmith provided this morning. Came into the office this morning to find the lock wasn't working properly and called AM PM around 8. By 12 the lock was fixed and the office is now secure. The locksmith was courteous and the lock was fixed within 30 minutes. Couldn't be happier. read more

Fast and friendly service. We needed a locksmith in the early evening during rush hour. The technician made it to us in about 30 minutes. He worked quickly and was friendly. Highly recommended! read more

I've used this company twice so far for different properties and both times Shay arrived quickly and got the job done in a timely manner. Great service and great prices. Highly recommend! read more

I left my cell phone and keys in the back of a cab in the wee hours of the morning and had to quickly go about getting my life back together. I called AMPM and they had someone out within an hour. Shay was quick, kind, and handsome (I only throw that in because it kinda lifted my spirits a lil bit after feeling so consumed by dread and worry for the previous 24 hours). He said it would take him about 30 minutes and it only took him 20. He made me 2 car keys (so now I have a back-up) and a set of my 4 house keys for $235. Not bad! I definitely recommend this business and will certainly use them again if I ever find myself in a similar predicament ever again.. read more
