I had a great experience with American Locks and Keys for both a door lock and a car issue. They were very responsive, extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and made sure I got quality products. They certainly gained my trust throughout the process and I would highly recommend their services.

Joe, and his team are very professional, curious, and respectful. My parents home needed door locks, change of deadbolt, and re-keys locks to make managing all of the doors with one set of keys. American lock and key made it all happen in a few hours, tested and improved the working function of some old doors in the process. I highly recommend them.

Thank you Joe for your dedicated service. We have relied on American locks & keys for years. Friendly and kind staff. Joe took his time to make sure my locks were re-key, added lubricant, and made sure they were working properly.

First off it was already the worst day of my life. Car packed the gills after my bf dumped me. Had to work from 6 am to now ..5:30 I’m at my last work visit and what do I do? Lock my car keys inside. I called this company and literally before I could Even worry they showed up. I swear they showed up faster than the police would! He was so friendly and sweet and helped open immediately. I didn’t have all the proof they needed but he insured me how easy it would be to clear. One phone call and me and my car keys are together again! I’m so grateful!!

Great service. American came to my driveway to add a second key fob to my used Prius, a job the (Irving TX) Toyota dealership couldn't complete. The locksmith was fast and friendly. I got a new fob at home for $200 under dealer quote.

Joe came to the house we had just bought, and moved into, to give us an estimate on replacing the door locks. We have five doors that needed to be changed/rekeyed. I had been given a quote by another local locksmith for $3200! He said I would need new doors and what not. And maybe that would’ve been ideal. But Joe came to give his estimate and re-keyed the entire house and spent four hours on the front door which had an old brass fixture. It was like a grandfather clock! He even called in his brother, I believe, to assist. He wasn’t going to leave until it was right. And he fixed it perfectly. The final bill? $310. Not only was he efficient and reasonably priced, he’s a very likable man. Thank you so much Joe.

Great price and great customer service. Called around to other locksmiths and they were asking twice of what this place quoted me. I also liked the fact that they gave me a price and there were no hidden fees. Thanks guys!!! Would definatley reccomend to a friend :)

My coworker created the MyKey setting on our Ford 150 work truck, which made all kind of restrictions on the vehicle. Limiting the speed and volume on the radio to name the few. To take off the setting we had to get another key. Every Ford dealer in town wanted to charge us over $300.00 and appointment was not available for the next weeks. These guys got it done on the spot at the fraction of the price. I wish every business to be as efficient and knowledgeable as these gentlemen.

I was extremely pleased with the service and customer service that I received from Joe, Tony, and David. I called yesterday explained what I needed and Joe personally took care of me all the way down to calling the shop in advance of my arrival so they would be expecting me. Fixed the problem above and beyond what I had expected and was reasonably priced. As a female sometimes we can be clueless when it comes to cars and I appreciate the fact that none of these men tried to take advantage of my ignorance concerning my vehicle. Thank you so much for taking care of me and lifting the burden of not being able to lock my car before today. Highly highly recommend.

They told me the price up front, didn't charge a penny more and they showed up faster than their expected wait time. I don't know what I would've done without them!

David helped me with a key when I needed it the most. I was short a few bucks and he graciously said not to worry about it! I went back and paid him same day. Trustworthy as all heck!

These guys know what they're doing. I could've saved even more money on re-keying an old car if I had come to them first before buying new iginition and locks. All other shops said it couldn't be done.

Debbie Walker

Great service! Highly recommend for any key services. Joe has a wonderful personality, which in times of stress sure makes it even better!!

Everyone needs a good dentist, a reliable accountant and in this complicated world, a trusted locksmith. Joe Kisaka has been very helpful, and instructive on solving the problem of too many old locks on a house needing refurbishing. In addition, when locked out on a weekend morning, he was still able to resolve my situation and I made it to church on time. I appreciate his professionalism.
