I had a lock with a code panel on it and no key. He said it would be $150 to rekey. Figured that is probably slightly less that it would be to replace it so had him come out. He removed it and said he couldn't do it, so I asked him to put a standard dead bolt on, no bells and whistles. Still charged me $150 : Guess I should have asked first what it would cost and not assumed it would be cheaper.
Should have done myself. Response: Actually, the owner said none of those things to me. The only thing he said to me besides he couldn't rekey my lock was "who was the lady I talked to on the phone?" after he was well underway installing the deadbolt. Just to be clear this was only a $10 deadbolt not the handle/deadbolt combo and no retrofitting or drilling required. Just 2 screws and 5 minutes. Also, this was not an emergency appointment. It was scheduled days in advance during business hours. But as I said, I should have asked and not assumed the price would be less.

Rude on the phone. Don't even introduce themselves. Very short and unprofessional. Didn't take more than ten seconds into the conversation before I knew I wouldn't even want them for my key replacement. Good luck.

It was a pleasure working with Efi as he is prompt, professional, helpful and competent. In this day and age where it is difficult to even get contractors to return phone calls, Efi shows up when he says he will and delivers what he said he would do. We are very satisfied with both his products and service. Highly recommend.

I've never had to use a locksmith before and i'm so glad I picked America's Lock and Key to help. I had a new faulty door lock, even though the problem couldn't be fixed the owner didn't charge me anything for the services! The next time I have a lock issue or need a new lock installed I will use America's Lock and Key.

Needed a new key fob for my Honda. Efi was super helpful and charged me way less than the dealership. Even had an issue with the car not reading the remote and he spent extra time to get it figured out and made sure I was taken care of. I would 100% recommend him!

This guy consider since you have a locksmith but he'll only work on certain locks. I ride a motorcycle I needed my lock changed for a lot of the key he said he won't work on motorcycles I said you're not working on the motorcycle you working on the lock you're a locksmith he said I don't like motorcycles or people that ride them. Now that is really really bad guys like this we should put out of business. Nobody go to this place he's prejudice

I called American Locks primary # asking if they had key blanks for their locks. The gentleman on the phone spent over 10 mins working with me to figure exactly which of the 2 blanks I needed. He told me exactly what to ask for when calling a locksmith to get a copy. Very pleasant. Excellent customer service!

Good service. We have a keypad lock for our back storage area, and for some reason, it was broken, and we couldn't find the backup key. Whoops! I found America's Lock and Key through yelp and called up Efi. He answered the phone and said he'd show up after 2PM that day but would call ahead. Well, he didn't call ahead, but since we were expecting him around 2PM, my husband was listening for the doorbell. Efi showed up, and within 30 seconds, he had opened up the lock.
He suspected that the lock was low on batteries, which is why it was broken. He billed us $75, which I think is the South Tampa/Bayshore price, but we were so relieved to be able to get into the storage building that we happily paid.

I reached out to America's Lock and Key to get a Keyfob Replacement for my Nissan Altima. Ephey came out the same day within a few hours. He was able to program my car with no problems and was able to produce a house key when he was done. I really appreciate their friendliness, quickness, and concern for the customer. Prices are extremely affordable. You won't find anyone else with the customer service, price, and response. Thank you America's Lock and Key!

Due to issues with my closing on a Friday afternoon, I had to reschedule having the locks on my new home changed. I contacted them late Friday and was able to love the appointment from first thing Saturday to late Monday morning which allowed all of the official paperwork to be filed. Aside from the flexibility, the service was amazing. 2 locks were re-keyed and a deadbolt was added to one of the doors. He was timely, super friendly and professional. He even walked me through changing the code on my keyless lock. Definitely a 5 star company!

Super quick to respond, provided same day service. Very professional, no upsell on the price compared to the quote provided. Efi was very pleasant and quick to rekey 4 locks on my house. I would recommend them fully and use them any time I have the need again.

Efi is great, he responded to my Yelp request almost immediately with a quote. There was some initial confusion with pricing when he arrived (he quoted me for 4 locks but I have 7). He assured me there was no pressure to move forward and was transparent about his rate by showing me previous receipts. I am a curious person when it comes to how things work, he answered all of my novice lock questions and didn't mind me watching what he was doing. I would use him again for any future lock needs.

So let me paint this picture for you: Friday night, pup on the leash, storm on the horizon, and we're headed out for a quick walk. In true Florida fashion, the skies open up only moments after leaving the house AND we've locked ourselves out. We give them a call and he shows up minutes later. It was pouring! He worked fast and got us inside and dry in no-time. High quality work and honest. Hopefully we don't need to use them again, but will if the time comes.

Efi deserves every one of his 5 star reviews. He was extremely responsive and professional. He is also the fastest locksmith I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He installed a new digital keypad lock and rekeyed two others for a home we just closed on. I don't think it took him more than 15 minutes to work his magic. I will definitely be utilizing his services again.

We had a broken RV door lock that needed replacement and was able to leave to meet me as soon as we finished our call. He was prompt, professional and extremely kind! He took the time to advise on the best way to maintain the locks, and even helped fix the alignment on the door in addition to changing the locks. If ever I am in need of locksmithing services, I will not hesitate to call for help again!

America's Lock and Key is the company you should use if you're looking for a quality locksmith company - would give them six stars if I could! Efi, the owner, was punctual, knowledgeable, and offered fair prices during a job for two lock re-keys and one lock install. Efi was incredibly flexible with his schedule and explained the new locking system he installed along with future maintenance requirements (battery changing and combo changing). He did it all in under half an hour! He even helped me change my garage door keypad pin at no charge! Thanks again, Efi.

I found myself in a bad situation when my teenage son (oh, teenagers) lost my key chain. It just so happened I had my mother's car, and my mother did not have a spare key. The keychain that was no lost somewhere in the city had her only car key. I called them at 6am and explained by situation. By 9am one of their employees, was at my house and made me a new car key on the spot. It cost $100
I could not be more pleased with the level of customer service. I would recommend them to anyone.
