Excellent job at installing new dead bolts on our exterior doors. Juan was extremely meticulous about making sure that every lock worked as designed (which can be difficult on a 25 yr. old house). He ensured that all the keys worked properly and did a great job at cleaning up. Can't go wrong with the service and quality of Apex Lock and Key. Keep it local! read more

Great service, very prompt- highly recommended. Best keying company around the Wake area

Great service and value. Purchased a new home and found this place on Yelp. They voluntarily offered a discount from Yelp/Google along with a move in special. Within hours they arrived at the house and rekeyed all doors. Very pleased with the entire process, from the initial call to completed job, truly great service and value. read more

After talking with the owner, John, it would appear to have been a hijacked call by a fly by night outfit impersonating his business online that my staff called. I had used him in the past (2015) and was very pleased. read more

We used them in the summer and they were very efficient and friendly. The service was very economical.

Had a car transponder key programmed as an extra key set. The guys were very professional, explained the process, quickly went to work to program the key set and 15 minutes later I was on my way. I would definitely recommend! read more

Called and made an appointment to have my new home rekeyed. The price was laid out plainly for me prior to service and I paid exactly what I expected. Tim showed up early (calling ahead first to make sure that worked for me) and was super fast. He rekeyed my home (5 locks total) in about 20-30 minutes. I will definitely use them for any future locksmith needs! read more

A big thumbs up for Shawn Austill. I had an aftermarket car key, that I had bought elsewhere. Some of other locksmiths in the area told me that they would not cut the key, but would not tell me why, leaving me very frustrated. Shawn took the time to explain that some aftermarket keys could damage their equipment. Shawn said if I came to the store, he could check the key, and see if it was compatible. After careful review he told me it was, cut the key, and made me a very happy customer. Thanks Shawn for going the extra distance the other locksmiths would not. Josh B read more

I have visited Apex Lock and key on several occasions and they are always very helpful in making a difficult situation very pleasing. I had bad keys to my Vechicles that wouldn't work and meet with SHAWN and he worked through the process of cutting the correct keys that I needed. Their location is very accessible and convenient. The staff has been very helpful during each visit to the store. Thanks! Hasan read more

It's a difficult time with COVID, having to do more communication on the phone. I called stating that I needed to have a key for a 2012 Ford Transit connect duplicated, stating it was a 3-button remote key and I had two blanks. They said that cutting was difficult and I would have to first buy one of their keys for $125 and then pay $40 per key for cutting my keys. Nothing was mentioned about an extra $75 to program the keys at that time and I expected "duplicating" to mean an exact copy to my original, a programed 3-button key. When I got the key they made, it was not a 3-button remote key, just a plain key and I was surprised about the extra charge of $75 to program the two keys. That process I observed, took minutes and the guy was following on-line instructions I found later which had I thought I needed to, would easily have done myself and saved the $75. Were they purposefully deceitful? It seemed that way. I ended up paying $280 plus $20.30 for the job. That was $75 plus tax more than expected due to their failure to be clear about what "duplicated" meant. read more

My 2 year old son and I were locked out of the house for hours waiting on a locksmith. Mind you the heat is setting in. His diaper was dirty and he was sweating from the heat and I had nothing to offer. Frustrated, I started to call other services. I call Apex Lock and Key where I spoke to a young man who went over the terms of service. Mind you I was Locked out-With a Screaming 2 year old(worried about to much heat exposure at this point)I said look just get here soon please I NEED HELP! To me this is a CHILD LOCK OUT EMERGENCY! The other lock smith showed up and I called Apex Lock back to let them know I was in the house and he said, too bad it is still FULL PRICE. He said you agreed, I don't recall agreeing to that as I was in distress and at this point a panic about my child ( who was is screaming to get in the house to find comfort) Who knows if I did agree, but I was in distress and my husband is away on Military duty and no family close by that could assist. The other lock smith, that was late, got me into the home, reduced his fees because he could see what a JERK this company was being. I agreed to pay the person (Apex Lock) for their time but not the entire cost as they did nothing! I was threatened with the police if I did not pay the full amount. I had to call my husband who was able to speak to me (He was in the middle of a mission for his NG AT duty) calm me down and said just pay the a$$$ hole. I felt threated and trapped. When I spoke to the owner his response was "It's just business and that is it" This company puts $$$ over customers. They did not care that it was a CHILD LOCK OUT EMERGENCY. I did not care who got me in our home as long as my son could cool down and get a drink of water. But to not even consider reducing (Oh I forgot he gave me a military discount...geee thanks a whole $5) the rates based on the circumstances is just heart breaking and no way to conduct business. The most heartless company I have ever done business with. He even said get your husband on the phone and I won't call the police! I mean who does that! He is on duty you a$$$ hole!!! I could do nothing but cry and feel helpless and pay 2 different companies when only one did the work. I wish my husband was home...My Military Families DO NOT USE THEM! They do not support the families of Soldiers IN ANY DIVISION . I was not looking for anything free just reasonable due to the situation and mommy panic with a child! And the fact NO WORK WAS PREFORMED! read more

Poor customer service. They changed my locks when I move into my new home. In a short period of time my key wouldn't even fit into one of the locks. They told me I would have to pay for them to come fix it even if it's there fault. I wouldn't suggest using them. read more

I recently purchased two cars that needed extra keys made. I had seen the sign for this locksmith many times as I went up and down Hwy 55, so I thought I would give it a try. It was a good decision. I was helped by employee, Shawn Austill. He was very courteous and had me in and out in less than 10 minutes. The keys work wonderfully and were reasonable priced. I was glad to support one of my neighborhood small businesses. read more
