A-Abbot Locksmith - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Orange, California

Full disclaimer... I screwed up. I had keyed a deadbolt to match my other locks and then promptly tossed the wrong set of keys in the trash. (sigh) Jim and his team are great - I brought the deadbolt in and 20 minutes later walked out with everything taken care of and my mistake magically disappeared. Thanks for bailing me out Jim, I greatly appreciate your help....totally recommended. read more

Needed a unique key duplicated. The typical key duplication machines seen at Walmart and Home Depot will not duplicate exactly the same because a correct standard key template was not used. A-abbott carried the correct template and successfully duplicated 3 keys. The cost was definitely on the higher end for these keys, however the product works. read more

Jim was very friendly and helpful. The whole team is very knowledgeable and quick working. Got house keys copied in about 3-5 minutes. Thanks! read more

Where should I start with this place? It's a clean shop with very reputable lock smiths. Good quality workmanship and reasonable prices. Fast service and they do the programmable keys at a good deal. If you happen to be in the area I'd use them. read more

Big thank you to A-Abbot, I have a few older style vehicles and boats with old keys from the 70's and 80's. I was on the road in Cypress, Los Alamitos and Long Beach when I needed a 1971 VW key copied. I went to literally 10 key stores and not one could copy the key. I came by A-Abbot near my home and they had exactly they key I needed. This is truly a one stop shop! Thank you to Jim and Justin who helped me out! read more

I had purchased an EMTEC keypad deadbolt lock from A-Abbot about three years ago. The electronic lock would only work intermittently but the warranty had expired. I took the lock in and a very pleasant young man named Jesus gladly inspected the lock, took it completely apart, looked for broken parts and reassembled it for me to try again (all at no charge). The lock eventually stopped working again and when I went back to A-Abbot, another locksmith named Justin, inspected the lock, determined that it was a mechanical and not and electronics issue (EMTEC has a lifetime warranty on the mechanical parts) and talked to the EMTEC distributor to give me a new lock. Justin and Jesus provided spectacular customer service. I will always go back to A-Abbot Locksmiths. John Tracy Villa Park read more

I had a couple of stops in recently at A-Abbott Locksmith.... I really wanted to find a brick and mortar locksmith....there are so few out there as most are mobile services now. My first stop I loved that as soon as I walked in it had the small business personalized touch feel....Chuy was very helpful from the minute I walked in to have a backup up key fob programmed. They had competitive pricing. Another place that tried to do it had issues and couldn't program my key fob.....no problem for Chuy and A-Abbot Locksmith! On another issue, Jim helped me take care of a lady who was locked out of here house....he dealt with her kindly as she was upset she was locked out and had to incur the cost to get in her house. Jim was great working with her. I would highly recommend the A-Abbot Locksmith team! Thank you! read more

I've been working with Jim Thorpe at A-Abbot locksmith for over ten years. He is by far the best in the industry. I've tried other locksmiths and they don't even compare to his knowledge, professionalism, and customer service. A-Abbot Locksmith and Jim Thorpe go above and beyond my expectations. read more

Great and quick service! I called and asked about getting my car keys replaced and was told they did not have my key fob in stock but they could order it if I went in to pay a deposit. When I went in they were actually able to find a key fob for my car and was out with a new set of keys in less than 15 minutes. Thanks to Jim and Austin! Will definitely return for any of my key & locksmith needs. read more

Thankful that Ivan fixed my front door lock. He did a good job in a few minutes.

Honesty, transparency, and good humor are the first words that pop in my head when I think of this business. John, Jim, and Zach helped me out today. I called John to ask for a re-keying service and he answered all of my questions. I brought all my locks to Jim and he clearly explained all the pricing and configurations. He even went above and beyond to highlight where certain locks didn't need to be re-keyed. Zach made the pickup painless. Would highly recommend to any friend needing a re-key service! read more

I want to give a shout out to Justin Kaplan at A-Abbot! I had a locker key I needed duplicated. It was not a common brand, so it was difficult to match. Justin tried a few different options for me until one finally worked. He was dedicated to helping me and we finally found a match. The service was outstanding and very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this business and Justin for your key/lock services! read more

Jim was very helpful and friendly while cuttting some Qwikset keys for me. Most hardware stores won't cut outside blanks any longer (out of fear of liability and need to replace them if damaged), but Jim was a pro and was careful not to damage the decorative finish on the keys without me having to mention it. Great service - not as cheap as one of those automated key machines, but I'm happy to pay for their expertise. Note that the door faces Katella, and you should park in the pet store parking lot or you might end up going through their employee entrance by accident like I did. Luckily they were cool. I'd be happy to return and recommend. read more

Jim is the man! Helped me take care of my key situatuion quickly and efficently. Appreciate the service.

I want to start out this review by telling you a little about me, so that the context makes more sense. I grew up in Southern California - Dana Point - and during my youth we had things like auto shop, wood shop, metal shop and other shop activities in school that encouraged sweat equity as a learning experience. Although were I grew up was rather affluent, having Scottish in my genes meant that we saved money. So I learned quite a bit about how mechanics worked, how things functioned around the house, and how to un-screwup something I'd previously ... screwed. So changing a lock isn't a big deal. Neither is rekeying one. Rekeying six well-worn 10-year old commercial locks so that they work with a new key while continuing to work with a master key seemed a bit above my pay grade. I could certainly take them out ... but the whole rekeying thing made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I've taken locks to locksmith shops before. I've met the edgy fellows with metal burr etched dirty hands that smell of old tri-flow oil and teflon ... and even older sweat. You know; the guys who give you a price based on the clothes you're wearing measured against the desperation you exude because you don't know anything about the dark arts and magic of locksmithery. So I was prepared for what to expect when I went to head over to this shop that opened unusually early for a trade (8:30am). This store is COMPLETELY the opposite of any other locksmith that I've ever been to. The store was neat, tidy, well laid out with products, swept floors, and an unexpectedly professional attitude and veneer. Jim Thorpe was the gentleman who helped me out. I have NEVER met someone who knows as much about locks and who is willing to share his knowledge so that I felt comfortable and reassured that the job would be done right. I gave him the six locks (in individual baggies numbers so I remembered where I got them from). He checked them all out in front of me, jumped on his computer after I gave him the address where the locks were from and said they'd been to that address before, and even cut a new master key from their records to make sure that it worked as well as the older master I included with the old locks. The new one worked WAY better. He gave be a quote - in writing - as well as a time that the locks would be done by THAT DAY! I gave him the locks and went off to attend to the rest of my adventures for that morning. A short while later - and well before the promised time - Jim gave me a call, and said that the locks were done and I could head over to pick them all up. I was shocked! When I got back to the busy store, Jim had my order ready, remembered me, and then launched into an explanation of what he'd done. He explained about the locks (they were worn, and could do with a full servicing at some point), the new keys, and the new master he cut. He even managed to get the locks back in the original baggies instead of mixing them all up. THAT is attention to detail! I got back to the building, installed the new locks, and they work perfectly! The new master works on the various locks in the building, and I am absolutely THRILLED with the whole process. I HIGHLY recommend A-Abbot Locksmith for all your key needs. These guys are professional, quick, and they get the job done right the first time. If you get a chance, talk with Jim; he is not only knowledgeable, but he is willing to share that knowledge so that you know exactly what you're getting! read more

Thank you Tim and Jim! Great service, friendly and quick. Not to mention your great rates. Will be referring all our coworkers here in Anahieim and all friends in the Anaheim and Orange, CA area! Thank you again!! read more

Jesus is one of those rare employees that is not only skilled at his job, but has a passion and curiosity for it. I went in to have the blank key on a key FOB copied to match my Scion xb's OEM key. Jesus went above and beyond to make this work properly. Price was reasonable as well. I've used it for the last week and it's performed flawlessly. This is my 2nd time using Abbot, and I'm sure I'll be back at some point. Thanks Jesus! read more

GREAT SERVICE at GREAT PRICES. I needed to copy a mail box key and the supposedly quick and easy machines they have at Ralphs weren't easy, nor quick, nor did they have the key. Looked up a locksmith close by and they were quick, easy, got it done in less than 5 minutes. I love people to people interaction so it was nice not having to try to figure out what buttons to press. I just told the guy what I needed and it was like "Here you go. Done." Great place, great people, would definitely recommend. read more

I recommend A-Abbot to anyone. I will definitely use him again in the future Evan, thank you so much for showing up early, you do not know how much it meant to me. Even though you said 10am to 5pm I appreciate you having a clean in and out professionalisms. Making 4 keys on the spot . The best part was that your prices are so reasonable. Being a new business owner it seems that everyone wants to charge an arm and a leg. Thank you and hope to see you again 9/26. read more

Needed a screw for my key fob. Also needed some accessories for keys. Jim was very helpful. Thank you Jim.

Zero acknowledgment! I came in to get a car key replacement. I stood there for over 5mins 2 different guys walked by or to the front area, neither one acknowledged me to say hello will be with you in a few or something! I understand they maybe working on other tasks or projects but at least an acknowledgment I finally just walked out. My service will be going elsewhere. Customer service is vital. read more
