Acme | Lock & Door Experts in Madison, Covington, KY | Instant Locksmith

We had a key broken off in our vehicle ignition - a flip out fob key. The staff gave us our options and very precise pricing and options to get a new fob programmed. They were quick and accommodating. Going so far as to allow us a space to change our young daughters diaper on a spare work table :)
In and out in less than an hour with two new key fobs. Parking was easy and the Monday morning staff were awesome!
I highly recommend Acme services. We have used them for business, and now trust them with our automotive needs, as well!

We appreciate your kind review and appreciate you as a continued customer.

after a nighttime effort to remove debris from my ignition, I was told by this AUTOMOTIVE LOCKSMITH that they were unable to remove/replace the ignition of my 2016 F150.   Seems like a service that should be in their wheelhouse.   Friendly staff all along the way.   but they waved the white flag at 4pm the next day.   that's a whole day I could have been working on Plan B.  We're a two-car family and now we're headed into day two.  ...at least.

Hi Gary - I'm sorry we we unable to address your ignition issue, and that you were delayed in finding a resolution. We hope you're able to find a fix to the problem, quickly!

Gary was able to make key copys for old existing locks at our Swim and Tennis Club where other lock smiths all failed to make correct keys that would actually work!  We were told by other lock smiths we would need to get new locks and replace all 400 key and it would have cost us over $1200 bucks.  They saved us a thousand dollars!  Great job!

Justin, Thank you so much for the positive review.

Have a vintage 1984 Honda nighthawk needed keys for it they were on top of it I got two made and they work perfectly,good job Acme lock.

Thank you so much. Glad we were able to help you out and we appreciate your business!

Needed to make a copy of a key to get into my house and ACME lock was able to make a copy for me in under 2 minutes. It was quite a relief since Home Depot and Lowe’s told me they would not be able to make a key for me at all due to the weird shape.
Staff was very friendly and helpful during the short time it took to make my key and I will definitely be using them for all future lock and key issues that I have.

Butch did an amazing job of installing new locks and repairing and upgrading our existing doors.  He followed through with extra help in programming.  He communicated clearly and sent me texts with updates.  Recently one of our locks broke and it was promptly replaced under warranty.  Great Job!

I went to Acme a few weeks ago to get a duplicate key made for emergencies. I have a master key that I've had since I purchased my car from the dealer.
Tim at the front desk was knowledgeable and professional and told me to come back later because the tech was eating lunch. I returned an hour later and Tim took my master key to the back. About 10 mins later I see the tech walking across the street to my car. The tech used my master key to remotely open the door and he worked for the better part of an hour. When he was finished he came right in and put my keys on the check out counter. I paid Tim the $160+ for my duplicate key. I used the duplicate for 9 days and decided it was time to put the duplicate away and go back to using the master key. I took the master out of the glove box that only contained the key and car paperwork and it started the car. When I got out of the car and pushed the lock button on the master remote, I didn't hear the familiar lock sound. I tried all the buttons multiple times and none of them worked.
I immediately called Acme to notify them of the problem. He told me that if both remotes are not close enough together while programming the duplicate that the duplicate can unprogram the master. He said that the problem was fixable and to bring both remote keys back when possible.
Yesterday I returned to Acme, a different tech named Keyla (her name was given to me by a different employee since she didn't introduce herself) took both my keys. The tech returned about an hour later with my master key dismantled and she was clearly agitated. She proceeded to tell me that there was some "goo" inside my master key rendering it unprogrammable. Her solution was to buy another remote for an additional $160+. I picked up the master and inspected it carefully. The "goo" was a small amount of clear gel (smaller than a pea)that had the feel of lubricate. By all accounts it appeared to be lock lubricant. This gel was not not present on any other part of the remote. I asked her how it could have gotten to that location inside of the remote and there was sign of it elsewhere. She said she didn't know but it wasn't supposed to be there and there was nothing she could do. I then asked for a manager. She said ok, snached both of the keys up, and stormed to the back.
A few minutes later the manager comes out with the tech Keyla and he tries to make Keyla's same argument about this mystery "goo". I then made it clear that the fact remained that the master remote was fully functional the before the duplicate was made. I don't know how this gel/lubricant could have possibly made it to the location it did without leaving a trace on any other area internally. The manager then confirmed the year, make, and model of my car and took both keys with him to the back.
About an hour later the tech Keyla returns and begins to very rudely tell me I needed to go try both of the remotes separately now. I was so offended, through this entire processes I've kept my composure and been kind to every employee in this establishment. I bit my toungue and did what I was told. When I found that both keys were fully functional. I said "Yay! They both work. Thank you!" She then said have a nice day and stormed off.
This entire experience has left a bad taste in my mouth with so many unanswered questions. Was reprogramming of the master so difficult that the gel was purposely put there to get me to purchase another remote? I have no proof because I didn't observe the techs close enough. Going forward I don't see myself returning to Acme.
