Nice place with good people to help you with whatever you need pertaining to locks, keys, doors, and safes. Came here specifically to buy, program and cut new keys for my car. Was done within 20 minutes here. Recommend this place for lock and key needs.
I was in FRANTIC MODE! I needed my WW2 Lock box opened ASAP! (I LOST THE 🔑) 😢 I brought my lock box to their store and met Vincent. He was very pleasant started working on it right away! He worked really hard on it and his key broke off in it! At that moment I said,"I don't care if you drill it, cut it or whatever you have to do." He said ok, and cut it opened with his magic tool and BINGO!!!! I was so GRATEFUL, I almost cried!! My Birth certificate and sscard fell out and I'm moving to Wa. I needed those for an appointment at the DMV for a IReal Id!! Thank you Vince Forbes! You are AWESOME! I highly recommend them 100!!
Went to Ace Hardware to get my key copied, but they weren’t able to do it because they didn’t have the key with the same key length as mine so they recommended Elgin Key & Lock instead.
Vince managed to get it done in less than 5 minutes, even though he also didn’t have the same key size and the key works perfectly.
He’s also very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The shop also has a lot of cool items and decor to check out while you wait, especially if you’re into guns.
Best place in town for key and lock services.
Highly recommended!
