I very rarely leave a review on anything but today is a must. Jeff came out to my house to work on a liberty safe that I have had problems with for the last ten years. The problem was the same and liberty had tried to help me four previous times with no luck. Within five minutes Jeff had the problem diagnosed that nobody had been able to decipher before, also looking over his shoulder was his 81 year old father who had been a locksmith for many years so I guess its institutional knowledge for Jeff. Please if you have an issue give AMERICAN LOCK & KEY a call!

Critical: Professionalism The worker who answered the phone was super disrespectful and was not professional at all. I asked him a question and he acted like i was an idiot. i don't recommend

Jeff did an outstanding job rekeying our new house. He had the parts and expertise. A competitor told me the locks were difficult and he couldn't get parts. But Jeff had the parts and easily got the locks changed. Very knowledgeable and did a great job! Was very reasonably priced as well. I recommend him for anything related to locks and security!

I am not used to the service they provided! I called last minute on a Saturday, they showed up on time, re-keyed our locks, fixed an older lock which was never installed correctly and made me several extra keys. Jeff was great and explained what he had done in addition to adjustments he made to make the key turn smoother. They treat their customers like family!

Jeff understood the problem. Asked excellent questions before coming out so he would have the right front door lock on the truck. As it was a very old, high quality lock, rather than replacing it with one of lesser quality he spent time repairing it. My renter was very pleased with his quick service (matter of 2 hours - on a Saturday!) and I was impressed with his price! Gold Star service. Thank you!

We have been dealing with American Lock and Key for years. Would not consider going anywhere else. Jeff used to take care of us when we owned a home and our beach house and now that we have moved into a condo he has been taking care of all our issues at the association. Over the years Jeff has given us GREAT SERVICE. He has always responded immediately to our needs.

We have used Jeff numerous times for our business and our residence. You will not find better quality or service anywhere. I highly recommend him. After my last experience with Jeff, I wanted to do a review telling anyone that is looking for this service, Jeff is the right way to go. I just read those one stars both written on the same day. I would tell you, that's not Jeff.

My guess is, it's a competitor trying to hurt Jeff. He is polite thinking it is a mistake, .if I had bad service and someone reached out to me like Jeff did, I would at least take the incorrect reviews down after making things right.but they did not. It's a competitor disparaging a good man.

Our company, a property management company, has been using American Lock and Key for almost 20 years. Jeff also rekeys all of our homes. We have always had prompt and courteous service. Jeff is a wonderful locksmith - I would recommend American Lock and Key to everyone!

Using this firm was one of my better experiences. They are straight forward with a perspective of what is best for the customer. I had Jeff perform a re keying of the house and getting an inground safe operational that others had shied away from. No surprises, just results. I saved them in contacts!

I needed a duplicate key made for my car (2016 Chevy Sonic). I called around and I found Jeff and American Lock and Key in Bradenton. The Dealership wanted $$$ and American Lock and Key was a lot less. Jeff took the time to properly program my key to my car. He also made sure that all of the functions work properly (Lock/Unlock, Alarm, and Remote Start).

During my short visit, another customer dropped off a set of door locks that needed to be re-keyed. They had the re-keying and made some extra copies very fast. Seeing that and the quality of their work on my own vehicle shows me why you go to a great locksmith! They know what they are doing, and can do it quicker and cheaper than a dealership.

What a fantastic Locksmith! We were in a bind because the first company we scheduled didn't show up, even after two phone call confirmations. We called Jeff at American Lock & Key and he was at our place that same day.

The owner can do anything. I had a bad Schlage keyless lock that would not stay locked. He spent an hour on Thanksgiving day working with the lock and finally found that the problem was in the microswitch.
