The gentleman at Affordable Lock & Security were so nice and helpful. They also saved me from paying $190 and instead I paid $48.38 I definitely recommend coming here for their services.

They made a replacement key for a fire safe. Quick, easy, and reasonably priced. Will be going back if I need anything else lock-related.

Fantastic Job! The tech that came, Larry, was very professional and friendly. I have used their location in Altamonte Springs before but this was the first time using their Tampa location. Just like the guys from Altamonte, Larry did a terrific job.

I’ve used them before when I needed a new car chip key because the original broke. Well, the same thing happened again about a year and a half later. Now they tell me it’s a better key and comes with a 2 year warranty that they just started today, 11.12.2020. Sounds a bit sketchy to me. I won’t be using them again.

The guys that came and unlocked my door were great! They were in and out in under 30 minutes. They were efficient and professional. They also gave me a veterans discount. Thank you guys, for being awesome!

Fast, reasonable prices. The owner made a non- chipped key first to see if I could save $80.00. It wouldn"t start the car, but does unlock the door. He gave it to me for free, would have to throw it out anyhow.

I could not be happier about the service I received from Affordable Lock today. We've used their services in the past and they've always been prompt and reliable, but today they went out of their way. My company owns a shopping center and a leasing agent wasn't able to access a vacant space to show to a potential tenant. I called them first thing this morning and they went out of their way to get some one on site within a very short window of time. I highly recommend them!

Paul the older gentlemen was a professional! Mike the younger man was very rude and giggled at me when asked to use the restroom. Which I must leave the business to do. Still $150 for a cut and programmed key is a good deal. The key I ordered off the internet did not work. Just gotta deal with disrespectful young adults

Michael called before he came. He was on time with his arrival. He introduced himself properly. He was kind, respectful and patient. He was able to give me insight into lock safety habits.
The job took 4 hours and thirty minutes. I was not expecting the job to take that long.
I did have to call my neighbor to come over and assist Michael with some tasks he was unfamiliar with. Michael appeared unsure or not very comfortable with doing this type of work.
It is unclear, however the doorknob on the shed was not able to be put back together in working order.
I will now have to purchase a new one and get that tumbler rekeyed to match the deadbolt.
I believe Michael would benefit from additional on the job training.

They were able to make copies of keys for me where other places told me they couldn't. I only wish car keys weren't so expensive to copy, but that is the norm everywhere.

I am not convinced of the integrity of this business.
I was told that the brand new key I got from another vendor was defective and unprogrammable, and that I would have to purchase one from his shop for nearly twice the price if I wanted something reliable. The locksmith did no troubleshooting and I was not convinced, so I took the key out to my car, followed the instructions from the website where I bought the key, and successfully programmed the key to the doors myself. I imagine it was pretty awkward when I, someone with zero programming or locksmithing experience, walked back into the shop and told him I got it working just fine.
Many more questionable things happened after that and I’ll save the long story. Ultimately, had I not been vigilant, I would have gotten scammed out of roughly $115.
I’d recommend steering clear of this place.
EDIT: I did not plan on elaborating the whole story, but in response to the owners reply, it seems as though it may be necessary now.
After I came back in to the shop from having programmed the key to the doors, the technician asked me if it would start the car in addition to unlocking the doors. I went back out and tried it, and it would not. He told me that most keys from outside vendors were defective and that my key was one of them. (He also claimed that he was the one who programmed it to unlock the doors, which he clearly was not as the key had no effects until after I was finished with it).
So I called the vendor from which I bought the key and spoke with someone who informed me that he had assembled the keys himself and that there were almost never any issues with my particular make and model. He advised me to ask the technician if he had a chip tester, to make sure that the key was compatible with my car. I asked, and sure enough, the technician did have access to a chip tester, and the chips were compatible. It seems to me that that should have been the first thing he did after experiencing any trouble with programming, but like I said, he never did any troubleshooting of any sort.
So after determining that the chips were, in fact, compatible, he decided to give it another try. Sure enough, my key was fine, and the key started up the car just fine.
Shouldn't he have known to test the chip for compatibility before giving up on it? is it not his job to know?
Meanwhile, while I was on the phone with the vendor, my mom was present and also had a key from the same vendor. He took her key out to the car to program it, and she followed him out to tell him that she didn't want him to do it, because she didn't want to be charged $62 only to be told that her key was defective (and yes, that was the price, $62 whether it worked or not). He told her not to worry about it and did it anyway. Later, he attempted to charge full price for programming both keys, despite the fact that my mom was very clear about not wanting to pay for that service.
So yes, in the end, he charged us only for cutting the two keys, but only because my mom called him out on charging her for something she had not agreed to, and again for something which he would have completely failed to do without our intervention.
Once again, I am not convinced of the integrity of this place. Steer clear.

I forgot my keys! Affordable Lock arrived within 20 minutes. The technician, Matt, appeared neat and clean. He was able to get the back door opened fairly quickly with some special tools and no damage to the lock or the door. He did not make any mess and was very professional but friendly. The price was very fair for such quick service. Thanks!
(I just realized I put this on the wrong location so I'll put a copy for the Tampa store, which is the location I used.)
