ACADEMY LOCKSMITH

I made the call after reading the reviews. My call was answered promptly, we scheduled a time and date. The locksmith arrived within the agreed upon time window. I explained what we needed and he got right to work. He was polite and professional. He finished the job in a half hour or so. I'm very pleased with the work and the experience.

They came out and were quick and efficient to get the job done. Thanks!

went well, I required no replacement of hardware, and he was able to rekey one door and fix the other one.

After I was unable to find my spare car key and I was set to go on a road trip with my dog the very next day (it was a Saturday), I called a Mitsubishi dealer who quoted me almost $200 for a new key AND I had to bring it to the dealer and wait for at least an hour or more. I called Academy after I saw them on Angie's List and noticed they were near me.  The receptionist took down all of my info and said they could definitely do a key for the ignition (I just wanted one for the door lock) and quoted me about $50 less than my dealer (and they would come to my door).  They scheduled me for 4 in the afternoon but asked if they could call me earlier if someone was available.  They called me an hour later and Semco showed up.  He was professional, very polite and had my new key for me in about 5 minutes.  Would definitely use them again and highly recommend.

BOY DOES IT PAY TO USE ANGIE'S LIST!   Second time I have - first with water softeners and now with this!  Called several other locksmiths first without using Angie's List, and was told that the lock was ruined since it had no working key - to take it out and throw it away or return it.  Then decided to use an Angie's list recommendation and Academy sent Semko who is a lock genius. He said it was only recently that he had determined out how to fix or "doctor" smartkey locks.  He did say that usually they are unfixable when the rekeying malfunctions, but it had been a puzzle he wanted to solve.  He is a true lock artist who is personable, professional, and really knows his job.   The service call was also reasonable - not the vague answers I received from other companies.

It went wonderful. They came out the same day I called. The locksmith was very professional, courteous, fast, and did a great job. Gave me additional information in case I needed additional or replacement keys. Would hire them again. A+++++++

Called on Saturday at 230pm. They offered to come out that day, but I had an appointment. They are available Sundays, and came out the next day at noon.
Simcoe was at the house before noon. He offered to remove his shoes before getting to work. He consulted with me regarding the feasibility of changing out additional cylinders throughout the home, but I elected to just re-key the front door. It took him about a half hour and when he was done, the lock functioned better than before.
The only reason I gave a B for price is he didn't seem to have a real idea what to charge me. Instead of going off of an itemized invoice (which he did provide a couple minutes later), he worked out some things in his head, punched some numbers into his phone, changed some things, etc. Not unhappy about the price, I just think the initial transparency could have been better.
I was happy with the service and would use Academy Locksmith again.

The Academy Locksmith technician was punctual, professional, quick and efficient in re-keying 7 entry locks and did a thorough job lubricating the cylinder. Lubricating the cylinders was a pleasant surprise—I’ve never had a locksmith do that in the past.

Showed up fast and got the job done. Locksmith was friendly and professional.

They were efficient and arrived shortly after I phoned them and promptly did the work.

They were quick and very efficient and all things considered, they were worth the money spent.

This company was great! The estimate was the final cost. The locksmith was on time and even a few minutes early. The whole job only took about an hour. I highly recommend them.

The company actually sent a sub contractor out. The gentleman was very nice and helpful. He did arrive a little late which was fine. The job ended up taking a lot longer than expected, and the price was much higher than expected.

He was quick and efficient and tested each key while I etched to verify they all worked.

I just purchased a new home that literally came with a ziploc bag filled with various keys. I elected to change the locks and have a locksmith make one key for each of the locks. I found Academy Locksmith on Angie's List and told them on the phone which made them very pleased. They gave me a one hour window and called 20 minutes into that window to explain they were stuck in traffic and would arrive in 15 minutes. The locksmith arrived, was very friendly, quick about his work and did everything perfectly.

After arriving, the nice gentlemen performed a masterly rekey of a lock without an existing key.

HE WAS WONDERFUL, EVERYTHING SEEM TO WORK OUT FINE. THE KEYS ALL SEEMED TO FIT THE LOCKS. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN FOR LOCKS. HE'S WONDERFUL.
