We are really pleased with this company. We called in the early morning, and Kirk (the owner himself!) showed up a couple of hours later. Had it fixed in about 15 minutes. The cost was very reasonable, especially given that people who need a locksmith are often in some kind of emergency situation and could be taken advantage of pretty easily. Did a good job, was friendly, and the price was affordable. What more can you ask?!

Call to this business went directly to voicemail at 12:30pm on a Wednesday afternoon. Voicemail was full and could not accept messages. Is this a real business?

They were late the first morning which was not a big deal at all. Didn't have the proper circular bit as we have painted steel doors which we did not know but tried to cut the hole for the lock installation with what he had on hand. Didn't work so needed to get better bits. Again, not a big deal at all and understandable except he left a mess of dust and shavings all over the floor inside the door and on the table next to the door; rug tossed off to the side where he was working etc. Was going to come back later that day but then next day, then next evening but told him the following morning was fine. That wasn't a problem as we were in no hurry. Came next morning and had new bits but burned through several and complained about the cost and trouble of doing that. I am no expert but I believe there are circular drill blades made for cutting metal/steel. Regardless, not our responsibility. If the job was too difficult he could have just said so and not have to get angry over cost of bits and time and difficulty. When he completed the job and left again he left lots metal shavings and dust everywhere, on floor, on counter top in kitchen, all over coffee maker. It was a mess. Glad we got the job done, seemed responsive and we know he was busy with other jobs etc. Workmanship was so, so on the back door but it was not an easy install because of a window in that door and limited placement area for the lock, so again, we understand all of that. More the mess that was left both times and the anger over the difficult job. That is why we hire professionals and figure if they assess it to be too difficult or not possible then charge more or don't do it at all. Would not use this company again for future jobs.

If we were given all the correct information about this job in the first place I love this would not have happened maybe we just didn't ask the right questions so I will take part of the responsibility. I'm sorry you feel like you cannot use us again we are very good at what we do sometimes when things takes way longer than we thought and we're on a time schedule and we forget to you sweep up and make everything tidy uses because we are trying to get somewhere else in a timely matter when we are already running late a lot of this could have been avoided by having the correct information but like I said maybe I should have just asked more questions and had to send pictures

A representative came to my home the day I called. The employee not only fixed the problem, but explained what needed to be done--he didn't even mind my looking over his shoulder. I thought the price was very reasonable. I would most surely call again if/when a problem needs solving regarding locks and/or keys.

My daughter locked her keys inside the car. I called Advanced Lock and Key at 8:20 am and they arrived at my house around 8:35 am. 15 minutes after I made the call. They had all the proper tools and had the door unlocked within 2-3 minutes. Very efficient professional service.

I called Advance at the suggestion of a friend who had used them. Advanced has a mobile unit. THey come to your house. Their hours are very flexible. THey do have the technology and understand the process. They made a new smart key (and E key) for me. It takes about 25 minutes. They charged me $285. They have most keys in stock. Mine was obtained overnight.
Description of Work
I lost a "proximity" or "smart key" for my 2012 Prius. Car dealers will lead you to believe only they can replace your key. If you use the dealer, you will pay through the nose. The LAW in fact requires auto companies to share the technology with locksmiths. Advanced is the only such outfit in Boise. The least expensive of three area Toyota dealers was Peterson at $412...plus a period of time for them to acquire a cut "E" key and then do the job which they estimated at one hour (or I once was told up to 4 hours).
