Meet Bobby at a Friends house while he was changing to keys to his house. My buddy was impressed, and when I heard the cost I was surprised. I called Booby (via the office number) to schedule an appointment. Made the appointment for Sunday ($10 more for a Sunday call). Bobby came out, on time, and went to every door to show exactly what needs to be done. Each lock is $12 to re-key. I didn't think that was an issue. Bobby even pointed out that he would adjust all the locks for smoother operation. 45 minutes later I was given Booby my credit card. Not only did he wave the "sunday" fee, headded in 1 more key (normally 2, I needed 3). Very professional, and really easy to work with. Need a re-key, call these guys!

We found Acme Locksmiths at a job site in a shopping center near our house. We made an appointment for a specific day and time. The technician (Bobby) called ahead to let us know he was on the way and gave us the time he'd be at the house. He arrived in a very professional vehicle that was also his "shop". He went right to work and when he found a possible issue, told me what to purchase at a nearby Home Depot. So I was able to get it and he installed the new item, re-keyed it as well and saved us time and money. Bobby was very professional. No chatter, went about his business without any delay, and was on his way in less than an hour. Acme Locksmiths accepted our credit card so we didn't need cash. And Bobby carried a remote internet device to swipe our card so we got an immediate Visa receipt on the spot. I highly recommend this company, and will use them again when I need a locksmith.
Description of Work: Re-Key entire house after we closed escrow. Inspect all locks.

Excellent interaction and Service from initial phone contact thru Service Call. Knowledgeable staff, friendly and honest- an excellent combination. Matt was able to repair my door issues when I thought I was going to have to replace the whole door with frame, saving me hundreds of dollars. Highly recommended- will use again if needed!
Description of Work: My front door had gaps allowing dust to come in and climate controlled air to get out. Matt showed up and was able to re-align the door through adjustments and using stronger screws.

In my personal opinion, this entry is advertising falsely on the Angie's List website. Within their advertisement, it is stated ""Service Area: Entire Phoenix Valley". But I was told Waddell was too far west; even thought it is within the Phoenix valley.
Description of Work: Service to me was denied.

They have 24 hour service. They came out right away. They came at 8 or 9 pm. When I called they said it would take 1 hour but they were here in 35 minutes. A very lateral young man came and he got to work right away . He keyed the door so fast, I didn't realize he had already done it. It was A1 service. He was only here maybe 45 min to do the whole job. He cleaned up behind himself. The price was under $200 for all the work that he did. The equipment he brought was great, it was all cordless so he did not need to use my electricity.
Description of Work: ACME Locksmith installed a new lock and re-keyed 3 locks. He made one key to fit all the locks.

The Technician (Matt) arrived on time he went through the house explaining exactly how he would do each doorway. Along the way he offered many security tips on how to better secure the home against potential burglars. He replaced all the hardware and keyed all the locks to work off of one key plus showed me how to reprogram my garage door openersand replaced the mailbox lock, then provided me with plenty of extra keys. He was courteous and very professional, I would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: I bought a new house and wanted to have all the locks on the exterior doorways changed. Because the old hardware was in pretty bad cosmetic shape I opted to have all the hardware replaced instead of just having the locks re-keyed. I wanted to have all exterior locks work with one key and also to have the lock on the mailbox replaced.

The technician called to let me know he was on his way. He arrived about 10 minutes later. He went through the house and determined what we needed and charged a fair price. The work was completed within one hour due to the extra work he had to do.
Description of Work: My husband and I purchased a new home. The sellers only had keys to the front door. Acme had to come in and redo the core of the locks instead of simply changing the locks. This was unexpected but did not seem to be a problem for our technician. He was very professional.

Alex arrived on time and was immediately able to see the problem and fix it. We thought the whole lock would need to be replaced, but he was able to repair. He also provided good advice for other questions we had regarding door locks. Would definitely call Acme for any locksmith projects!
Description of Work: Called Acme Locksmiths because our security door lock was turning but did not open. It had been hard to open for a couple days. Matt answered and arranged for us to have a service call. this afternoon. About 30 minutes later, Alex called and said that he could arrive earlier if that worked. It did.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Many times we run into situations where locks simply need to be repaired and not replaced. When that happens, we let you know. There's never any pressure to get you to buy unnecessary locks. Thanks again, we appreciate your business and trust. Robert - Owner, ACME Locksmith.

Alex arrived between the hours promised. We were fully expecting to replace the locks on both the entry door and the security door, however, upon inspection he determined that both locks were in good shape and was able to repair them instead of replace. We probably paid less than half of what we expected to pay for the replacements. I would definitely recommend ACME to anyone who asked.
Description of Work: When trying to unlock my front door, the key spun around without unlocking and when I tried to pull the key out, the insides came out along with the key. We already had a problem with the lock of the security door, where it would sometimes unlock and sometimes wouldn't.

Thomas provided excellent service. He initially took my call to order service, and I was immediately put at ease by his friendly manner. Before the appointment, he called first to notify me of his arrival, and was completely punctual--which I really appreciated. He worked super fast, and answered all my questions in a polite and patient manner from beginning to end. An all-around great experience. Very pleased and I would highly recommend.

Violet, in the office, answered immediately, and was helpful and friendly. Aaron was assigned to come to my house to re-key all the locks in the house, but he also ended up changing out a locking doorknob, and a deadbolt. He, also, was friendly, patient, and professional. The work was done quickly with on-time service. I will definitely use ACME should I need such services again, but I will also recommend this company. As an end-note, Aaron indicated that ACME is collecting old keys, which are use to provide adult transition services for people with autism. This just makes the company even better in my estimation.

Alex called to say he was on his way and arrived right on schedule. We discussed what needed to be done and he completed the job perfectly. He was easy to talk to and provided a clear understanding of how he planned to address our issues and explained the options before starting the work. I cannot imagine a better experience and would use Acme for all my locksmith needs.

Fast excellent service.
Description of Work: I locked myself out of the house. My neighbor went into Angie's list because I had bought a coupon for locksmith company. We called acme .The gal was wonderful and told me they would be out in 15-20min Matt came out and was fast in arriving awesome at getting the door open and showed me the 2 codes. It would of cost me $69.00 which would of been a good price. But I had bought a coupon for $75.00 worth of work for only $35.00. So it didn't cost me anything more. I'm going to have them out again to install another lock. Matt really knows his business and wonderful to work with. Fast service is what you get with Matt.

I made an appointment with Acme Locksmith because I had purchasd an Angie's List Coupon. They arrived on time and checked out the specific door lock that I had called about. After doing some adjusting, the repairman discovered it wasn't really the lock that was the trouble, the door had shifted and the lock was not connecting properly. He removed the little short screws that held the door at an angle and replaced them with stronger and longer screws, which squared the door up and lo and behold, the lock worked like it was supposed to!!!!! How wonderful is that? We lived for 2 years with a non-working door and it took an intelligent serviceman to fix it! The serviceman continued, with our permission, to inspect the remaining locks. He discovered all of our home locks had been installed upside down and he correctly re-installed them and oiled all of them. I also asked about a Lockbox and he had one in his truck that would fill our needs. He went into great detail on how to program it and install it, which was great, because I am a visual person and written instructions don't always tell me what to do!!! I would call them again for servicing our home/car locks. The repairman was good enough to check out our car garage door openers that didn't work anymore, and detected that our "motherboard" was no longer working and we needed to call a garage door service company.
Description of Work: Acme Locksmith repaired all of the locks on our home.

I took advantage of an Angie's "Big Deal" for a coupon from Acme. I called Acme first to determine whether I needed a carpenter or locksmith; the corner of the house by the front door had "settled" or dropped considerably. This was the 2nd time a repair was done for the same reason and despite the house being 36 years old, the crack on the floor, above the door and the space above the front door, etc. were all indications of movement. The result was that the locks no longer lined up with the strikers on the frame. Matt felt he could rectify and advised me to go forward with the coupon purchase. He reviewed their pricing and covered all possible repair scenarios with me. I was given a 2-hour time frame for my appointment which eliminated the need to wait all day. He called to advise when he was on the way and showed up promptly on the early end of the time frame. He concurred with the reason for the problem and fixed it in less than 20 minutes. He was friendly, professional and charged only for fifteen minutes of labor resulting in an additional payment (over the cost of the coupon) of $5.25. After the transaction was completed he also reviwed the warranty on their work. While I can't control the sinking of the house, I can now lock the front door! I would use them again in a nanosecond.
Description of Work: Dead bolt and lower lock no longer lined up with strikers..unable to lock front door Matt from Acme changed hinge screws and lowered strikers on door frame thereby realigning both locks.

GREAT COMPANY and VERY PROFESSIONAL. I heartily recommend that you do business with them. They are VERY HONEST AND WANT TO LIVE UP TO THERE MISSION: "WE'RE MAKING CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE".
Description of Work: I looked up under :LOCKSMITH on ANGIES LIST and read the various reviews for a problem I was having with a sliding glass door lock system. From the reports I noted past customers had used ACME and rated them A+. I called and explained what my probledm (s) were.I further explained that we were leaving town and I would hope they could schedule an appointement ASAP. They stated that they would have a service man by the following day between 12 - 1: PM. The next day I received a call from the service man that he was running ahead of schedule and would it be OK to be at my home by 12:00!! He came and checked the sliding door and repaired the lock by adjusting the spring and door flange. I requested that while here he check the remaining doors (5). He did and adjusted two. I also asked if he could make two keys for our en try door and garage which he did as duplicates. The service man was ALEX and was very courteous, efficient and extremely professional. He suggested that for the future it would be a good idea to install dowels along the track on the sliders not regularly used. He measured the openings and left the demension with me. I had coupon from ANGIES which gave me a Special service fee. As a result my total invoice was 35.00 as opposed tp 75.00

I purchased the "Big Deal" ($70 worth of locksmith services for $35). I called to schedule an appointment and they were able to come out the following day. The service tech called prior to his arrival and showed up when he was supposed to. I showed he the locks I needed changed and let him work. He did most of the work in his work van and installed the new locks very quickly. I would have chosen this company even if I hadn't done the "Big Deal" since they are highly rated. I will use them again since I need an extra key for my car (a coded chip key).

Everything went smoothly. Told service rep what work I needed performed and he gave me an estimated price and a 2 hour window that was convenient for me to have the work performed. I then got a call the day of the appointment and confirmed the time the tech would show up. When tech arrived I showed him the 2 doors that needed hardware replaced and a half hour later he was ready for me to verify that everything was replaced to my satisfaction. Couldn't have gone easier. Broken door latch now works flawlessly and I don't have to fight the lock to open my service door. All was done for the quoted price. No unpleasant surprises.
