I have used Able for over 15 years and highly recommend them. They make excellent key copies and are quick to respond.

Gave them a call and they got me in right away for a new set of keys for my Camry. Their service was fast, courteous and they were a great price. They cut and programmed my keys in 30 minutes. Definitely support these folks. It's a great local locksmith. read more

Very knowledgeable my go to locksmith. Great place for auto key fobs much better than the dealerships !

Go to business for all you need when it comes to locks! Highly recommend them for fast, fair & high quality service.

Unspeakably rude. My 80 year old mother and I had to sleep in my car after the guy who is supposed to help us literally hung up on me and refused to help. Absolutely horrible person. When I heard that it would be an hour before they could get to us, I did mention that I would call back immediately if I found someone who could help us sooner, and that was when the conversation took a turn and the person who I was speaking to- who is actually the owner! (which is even more reason to never do business with them) became rude and refused to help us- hanging up on me. After calling several other locksmith companies, none of which could help us at all, I called back and opened my end of the conversation with these exact words: "PLEASE don't hang up on me! I really need your help. I understand that you need me to commit..." but before I could even finish my sentence, I was rudely cut off with a FLAT OUT REFUSAL to help. Did I swear at you...yes I did, but let's be crystal clear- you did NOT refuse me service because I swore at you. I only swore at you after you flat out refused to help me though you obviously COULD help me. I couldn't believe that anyone would be so heartless. I explained that my 80 year old mother was flying home in the morning and all of her "stuff" was locked in my apartment. He did not care. We called or went to a dozen hotels between Frederick, Brunswick and as far as Charles Town WV. Apparently finding a hotel room was as impossible as finding a locksmith. There was not an available room in Frederick Saturday 10/15/22. I have never needed a locksmith before. Had I known that it was a cardinal sin to mention calling another person to see if they could be there sooner, I would have kept it to myself. BTW, your competitor, Dave's Locksmith, have me a list of several other places to call when he couldn't be there for a couple of hours so it is not standard protocol in your profession to FREAK OUT at the mention of contacting another provider. Had you given me a chance, I would gladly have committed to paying for any time or inconvenience if I happened to find another, but you were so busy rudely refusing to discuss the matter further that you did not give me any chance to mention that. Thanks to YOU, my mother is now on a plane home in the same clothes she wore yesterday after minimal and uncomfortable sleep. I stand by this negative review. And BTW, the "threat" you refer to was the threat to write a negative review. The two "at length" conversations were exactly 2min 3sec for the first one, where you took all of my information before hanging up on me, and the second one was 1min 27sec, so that was pretty much me begging, you refusing to help, and me swearing at you and promising to write this review. I don't make idle threats. If you are going to refute a negative review, I suggest you refrain from outright lying. Your response is not only condescending mansplaining, it is blatantly inaccurate. read more

He was fast, took down a lot of information on the phone to help me work through what I needed, and was very friendly. A great experience, highly recommended read more

Chris was able to come out quickly on a Saturday night to help us. My workplace has also used Able Locksmiths for years, and we've always been pleased with his professionalism and helpfulness. A definite go-to for value in the Frederick area. Highly recommend! read more

Showed up within an hour. Awesome service!!! Would recommend! We called them last min on a weekend and they were able to fit us in no problem. read more

I recently had my locks updated by Able Locksmith and they did an outstanding job. RJ came in and explained what would be taking place and answered any questions I had. He updated 6 locks and he was in and out in less than 45 minutes. Their prices were very reasonable! I did have one hiccup...One of the keys would not open the door so I called the office to let them knowand they were willing to send the young man back out for 1 key! That is customer service! If you need locks changed quick and in a hurry, call Able! read more

Family-owned business in downtown Frederick for more than 30 years. Capable of new programmable car keys, regular house key duplicates and so much more! Importantly, their prices are reasonable, and their service ethic unquestionable. Highly recommend this downtown treasure! read more

Excellent service. I had three locks for storage compartments on my bus conversion that have never worked. I needed a set of keys cut and they got two out of three working fully and the third to fully accept a key. The third one not turning was not for lack of effort. Very reasonable prices and friendly knowledgeable staff. Would come back if in the area in need of anything. read more

I have never in my life (that I can remember) needed a locksmith. I called with a problem I wasn't even sure locksmiths handle: the door handle to the inside entrance to my garage had come off in my hand. I didn't think I had the right tool to fix it. I described the door handle to the lady that answered the phone and she knew exactly what had happened and told me I needed a tiny Allen wrench to re-install the handle. She even offered to lend it to me at no charge if I didn't have the tool! Luckily, I found the right size wrench in my toolbox. The point is, with this kind of super customer service without being paid for it, I now have Able Locksmiths on my contact list if I ever do need a locksmith again. read more

I only had a basic need for new locks for a move in, but the folks at Able couldn't have been nicer to me and their price was much lower than I expected. Additionally, they gave me great recommendations for other trustworthy local services as I was new to the Frederick neighborhood. For me, service is "key" - get it? - and these guys (Barbara, Chris, and everyone I met) were top notch in that category. Won't hesitate to use them again and I know it will be a good experience with a good price. read more

Very good service and always there when you need them in a pinch. Shon and the guys that work there are always very friendly and reasonable in pricing. Nice people read more

They changed our condo locks from across the ocean! They accepted payment over the phone and were friendly and patient with payment. Make an appointment though. read more

This morning at 6:00am as I was preparing to leave for work one of my greatest fears came true. I set the alarm, locked the door and left my keys inside the house on the counter. Ugh the frustration of it all!! To make matters worse I couldn't even call my husband for help because he was out of town on business. I needed a locksmith and fast. Thankfully I had my cell phone and was able to google locksmiths in the Frederick, MD area. By happenstance, I landed on Able Locksmiths. I called and spoke with a pleasant man named Chris who stated he would be on his way soon. He arrived rather quickly considering the morning traffic. Without delay or any damage to the lockset he popped the lock with precision and efficiency. I would recommend Able Locksmiths without hesitation to any and everyone in need of this type of service. I learned that like my husband Chris is a Veteran. I hold all Veteran's in high regard for their sacrifice and commitment to service. Chris is serving his community admirably with his high standards of professionalism and excellence. read more

Staff was very friendly. Dan was very pleasant and helpful. Chris was awesome. Got my bike rack unlocked in less than 5 minutes. Definitely would recommend them. read more

Had a very good experience with Chris and staff on a car key issue. They were knowledgeable and friendly, will use them next time.

Able Locksmith These people are awesome. My daughter recommended them, and I got the name Able mixed up with another locksmith in Frederick with a similar name. The "other" locksmith's work broke in less than a month. When I called him, he swore at me and told me I broke my own door. He was a lost cause and I couldn't get a refund. Then I contacted Able and they sent out a professional who fixed the other guy's work, knew exactly what to do, charged a reasonable price, and the lock on the door has been working like a charm. My warning to other customers is to be sure to call Able and not trust any other similar sounding company name run by someone trying to profit off of Able Locksmiths good name. Be safe, not sorry. read more

If I had to put it simply, I would just say that you need to use this locksmith. They are responsive - call them and they will be there in a very reasonable time. They are polite and professional - Dave is a great guy and he has went ABOVE AND BEYOND on numerous occasions. They have great prices - I have used them for my business (on many occasions) and for my home. Each time we have needed their services Able Locksmiths have been on site, with the proper equipment and within a short time. Even one time as my business my building owner send his chosen company to come and work on our door, and I called Able. Able got to my business faster, had the proper tools, repaired my door, and did all this while the other guy was pretty much watching. A+ all the way. Highly recommend Able Locksmith. read more

Chris and his team are top notch! He was professional, fast (responded within 90 min on a Saturday night!), and are situational aware. He kept in contact with me on the phone to set accurate expectations and then he exceeded them! And it didn't cost as much as I anticipated. Absolutely recommend them! read more

Very nice staff. Got my locks changed out quick and affordable. I real family run small business. I will go back for all my future needs.

Shawn and Nancy were fantastic, bailing us out on a Sunday with a busted interior door lock. Professional, pleasant and responsive - strong recommendation. read more

David was wonderful! He had us back into our home in under two minutes, very professional and friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I wish we new about Able's when we rekeyed our home. read more

Able Locksmiths is the ONLY company I will call when I'm unable to get into my vehicle. I had locked my keys in my car for what feels like the tenth time and I've called many locksmiths in the Fredrick area asking for assistance. Able Locksmiths were the most patient and courteous I have ever come in contact with. A very professional man named Christopher spoke with me over the phone and Dave Fikar arrived with the tools necessary to get me into my car. I had called and Dave arrived within 15 minutes. I was in my car and on the road in no time! Also, I had called every locksmith on my google search and Able is the cheapest so just save yourself some time and use them! read more

We were very happy with the work done at 18-20 Seven Hills Rd, Baulkham Hills by Richard and Pieta. When Richard first visited to assess our apartment entry door he took the time to explain the condition of the door and why the mechanism had failed. He was generous with his explanations and advice. When Richard returned with Pieta to carry out the actual job both men provided efficient service with explanations along the way. Providing information in lay men's terms is greatly valued and both men did so with a generosity of spirit. Thank you. Elaine Lowrey read more

Showed up when scheduled and work was thorough. Left no mess and tested locks with me before leaving. Would recommend and use again.

Very courteous after hours service. I locked myself and my dog outside in the rain and a nice younger man arrived in less than 30 minutes and had me inside in no time. He couldn't have been nicer. Considering a locksmith can basically pick their price when you're stuck, I felt the cost was more than fair for an after hours call. read more

Able Locksmiths takes pride in their workmanship. They are knowledgeable, skilled and competent. I have used them for home and business and have always been pleased with their work. I am impressed with their commitment to give me a top quality job rather than maximize their profit. The whold staff at Able Locksmiths are a pleasure to deal with. This is the place to call if you need any kind of locksmith work. read more

Terrible customer service. The girl who picked up the phone was incredibly rude. I called Gene's Locksmith. Gene himself answered the phone, was completely professional, told me the price, and came out within 15 minutes. Do not call these people. Call Gene. read more

We used this company today and I have all excellent things to say about our Locksmith Dave and this company. The woman who answered the phone was professional and polite and had them out to our place within 2 hours. Dave and his technician were very professional and knowledgeable about their trade. Fairly priced. Today was way too cold to be locked out of my office. THANKS AGAIN DAVE! :) read more

I took a fire damaged vintage motorcycle ignition lock to these guys. Since new parts cannot be obtained, I'd bought a good condition used switch. I needed to re-key the used part to accept my old key, which also works the steering and saddle locks on the motorcycle. Took them all of 10 minutes to disassemble the damaged lock, figure out how the thing worked, transplant my old lock tumbler into the working switch, and Bob's yer uncle. Folks were pleasant, and the smith working on my lock was happy to talk bikes while he was fixing mine. Their price was more than fair - and the switch and my 40 year old motorcycle now works like a champ. Ingenuity and good work aren't everywhere. read more

I used Able Locksmith on 9.24.14 to replace my lost entry door key the locksmith from Able was reasonable, reliable, professional and trustworthy I highly recommend this company if you ever need a locksmith in Frederick County. read more

The most friendly, pleasant, prompt and wonderful service you could hope for during a being locked out stressful moment. Years ago I also used them to change all the locks on my house and they were just as wonderful then. read more

I had been having a problem with a patio door locking mechanism for months. After trying to fix it myself and failing, I finally called Able's. I wish I would have called them right away. I called, and they were at my house within 45 minutes (keep in mind my house is approximately 25 minutes from their office). He did a great all around job and got it fixed same day even though my door is Pella which can be difficult to fix. This is without a doubt the best locksmith in the area. Friendly, courteous, professional, and fair. I would highly their services to anyone in need. Great Job! read more
