So I was at Forever 21 last week and just as I was about to check out I saw the cutest key topper at the counter. I'm sure you're familiar with the little rubbery things you can put on keys to distinguish them from other keys, yes? Well, this one looked like a LOLLIPOP! It was adorable so I impulsively purchased it. Worst. idea. ever. Flash forward to today - I get home from an afternoon of running around and as I'm about to unlock my front door I realize my lollipop-clad key has disappeared! I check my purse, my car, my yard - nothing. I call every establishment where I had stopped - nothing. After a few choice words directed at my no-longer-so-adorable, totally-crappily-made key holder I suck it up and call Advanced Lock Solutions. I was immediately impressed when the locksmith showed up at my house within 30 minutes (on a Sunday, no less) and diligently went to work trying to break in. Eventually we got into my house and he started examining my lock. Turns out, my lock wasn't that well constructed and neither was the key that was supposed to unlock it! Upon discovering this, he fixed my lock, rekeyed it and made me three brand new keys ALL FOR FREE. What a bargain! On top of it all, he could not have been nicer. I know I'll be calling them back should I ever get locked out of my house or need my locks rekeyed after dumping a crazy boyfriend (not that I'm speaking from experience there. I swear.). p.s. If you find my lollipop key please run it over with your car or something. I'm still bitter. read more

I would do business with these guys again. Why not five stars? Well. they're just too pricey. I called for some lock removing and rekeying one night about 5pm and they were able to schedule me the next day for 11am. Since I didn't have an emergency that was fine, and I impressed upon them that I had to leave at noon so they couldn't be late. True to their word, my technician MIke, called about 9:30 and said he was done early with another job and would head my way if I wanted. Sure do I said. Mike came, did all the work I scheduled, and did it quickly, proficiently and pleasantly. Like I say, I'd use 'em again. But that "trip charge" bullshit has got to go. $60 to show up at my house? During business hours? On a weekday? When you're less than five miles from my house? Now that's just bullshit. If not for that, Advanced would get five stars easy (and ask for Mike when you call; he gets five stars period.) read more

I had to find a locksmith to fix an issue I was having at my office. These guys are nearby and have good reviews so, I went for it. Scheduled and appointment for first thing in the morning and I was told I would be receiving a call beforehand letting me know they were on the way. Never got a call, and the guy was half an hour late. They told me that they had my written down at a different time and that the locksmith did call me... but no call. Anyway, the locksmith and who I assume to be an apprentice showed up and worked on the door. Showed me that the lock was now working and 90 dollars later, they had left. Not 5 minutes later, I went to check the door and it wouldn't even open... I called their store and told them what happened, the guys came back and dismantled the entire handle and told me it was broken and that they had to take it back to the shop and would call me later with a quote .........? I never received that call either, and later found out I was passed on to someone else because the first guy had another job. Half an hour later, another locksmith comes by and fixes the door in a matter of 20 minutes, explains clearly what the problem was, and now everything is working better than it has in months. He mentioned that the first guys said they didn't take the lock apart. My eyes told a different story. At first, disappointed and irritated, later relieved and happy. Thank you, second guy! read more

He was fast and good and cheap, I was in and out in few minutes and my key worked immediately. Very good and will definitely recommend to a family or friend. read more

Today, Advanced Lock Solutions impressed the heck out of me. They dealt with an auto key situation with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. When they found out I was "active" military status, they attempted to perform an expensive service for no charge! I made them charge me something because no one works for free. True patriots every one and you will continue to get all of my business! Thank you does not go far enough to show my appreciation and gratitude for what you did today! read more

Advanced Lock Solutions is AWESOME! See my review for Cothron's...if you are wondering.... Mike is your guy, service was excellent, products were excellent, locksmith installer was excellent. Timely, cost effective, high quality. Could not recommend more, and I really went through far too much with Cothron's before someone recommended Advanced Lock Solutions. You can't go wrong! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

We have used these guys on 2 occasions to have locks re keyed and install keyless deadbolts. Service is friendly and quality of workmanship is excellent. I highly recommend! read more

Called in, described the work scope for a rental property rekey, and they quoted me a price. Seemed reasonable, so I took it. After the work was complete, the estimated price of $165 had mushroomed to $248. There was one (1) additional deadbolt cylinder that was added to the original work scope. They DID provide fast service (needed the work done quick), so that's why I'm giving them 2-stars. **** Update- was later contacted by Advanced who explained that the cost increase from the original estimate was due to the keyless deadbolt; i.e. the additional cylinder mentioned above. read more

These guys (especially Zach) are great. We had an emergency and were not going to make it before closing time and they hung out until we got there. It is just great customer service! read more

Needed some keys made and thank you to my fellow yelpters found Advanced on Burnet! It took about 3 minutes and $15 to get three perfectly working color keys made. The service was friendly and fast- recommend!! read more

I used Advanced Lock Solutions with short notice on 3/20 to re-key 3 locks inside the property. I phoned them at 12:30pm and they were at my project by 2pm (this is good time as the Locksmith was on another job when I called and had to travel approx 15 to 20 miles to start/complete my service). He was fast, professional and very pleasant. Will I use him again? Absolutely! The price was fair and I am/was very happy. read more

Fast, friendly, and personal service. I needed a tubular key copied and we were all done in under 15 minutes. Thanks!

I was stressing out........and I called them after looking at recommendations from YELP. Advanced Lock & Key were fast to my rescue! I was so relieved that Advanced Lock was able to open my fire safe at home and came on a Sunday. I had wonderful customer service too. A very professional locally owned company. This place ROCKS! read more

These guys are good. I needed spare motorocycle keys for a bike my son just purchased. They have key blanks on hand, but in my case I had pre-ordered blanks from the dealer. I walked in, and the guy at the counter was pleasant and chatted me up as he cut the keys. $4.75 per key is the quoted rate presumably for double-side cut. The keys worked flawlessly. read more

I have used Advance Lock & Key for my business and residence. They do a great job. Wonderful customer service, very professional and licensed. They re-keyed my whole house in under 20 mins. I highly recommend them! read more

Advanced Lock Solutions came to re-key 5 locks in my house yesterday. It was professionally done with attentive to detail. Now, I feel much safer! I would definitely recommend their service if you need to change or re-key your lock(s)! read more

I have an old-school trunk which was missing the key. The lock was closed and through a little quick research I found that I needed a T46 key. I initially went to another large locksmith who sold me a key that locked similar to the T46 key but didn't work. I then went to Advanced Lock Solutions and brought the trunk with me. The man working there was unfamiliar with the lock or the appropriate key, but he spent less than a minute looking at keys on a back wall and brought one back that instantly opened the lock. Because it was not the "official" correct key for the lock, he patiently showed me how to insert the key at a slight angle and the lock opens easily. Five stars for efficiently solving the problem and for making sure the problem wouldn't reoccur (by patiently making sure I could open the lock myself before leaving). If ever need Locksmith services again in the future, I will be back. read more

Great place to duplicate your keys or look for new locks for your home/business... locally owned, friendly and fast to the rescue!

I just called Advanced Lock Solutions to ask for a locksmith to come out and re-key a file cabinet and Angie told me how it could be done a different way that cost me a whole $10.83 with tax saving me a ton on having a locksmith come out. What a great, honest business. I would wholeheartedly recommend this business! read more

This is a great lock and key copy service. I called several locksmiths when I needed locks changed on short notice and Advanced Lock Solutions met my simple criteria - changing my locks within 3 hours! The price premium for immediate service was only $15 more than scheduled service, which is a lot cheaper than other locksmiths.The serviceman was professional and even made multiple copies of the keys I needed, at the same price as Home Depot (and thus saved me a trip and time). He even advised me on lock placement guidelines and installed a missing plate on one of the doors at no charge. Its businesses like these that separate themselves from the rest of the pack, and that's why they are 5 star. read more

I have used them twice to work on locks for our Church, and once I had them copy a fairly expensive car key for me. I have to say I have been really impressed so far. They might be a little more expensive than others, but you get what you pay for. I am more than willing to pay a little more for good service, than go cheap and get poorly made keys, or poorly installed locks. I am about to call them again to have some more work done, if this experience with them is anything less than stellar I will revise my review, but so far so good! read more

We used Advanced Lock Solutions to re-key our new house - they showed up on time, and the guy who did the work was very knowledgeable and nice to deal with. read more

Advanced Lock Solutions were quick, efficient and professional. Would not hesitate to call-on them again!

Had a locksmith at my apartment not long after I called. Awesome customer service!! Mike was super nice.. It was expensive but worth it. Fast & friendly service. read more

These guys are great and really know their trade. I had two deadbolts re-keyed while I waited (~15 min.) at a price for lower than I expected. read more

All I can say is AAAAA+++++ job & service!! I was looking at the reviews and seen the one 4 star guy, so I asked them about the trip charge and they explained it to me very well and I understand no service company comes to you for free, this company just shows you up front what your paying for and after the lady I spoke to told me about the cost of running there business and the price of gas I get it!!! No one works for free and you DO get what you pay for here!! They have over 100 years of combined locksmith experience in this shop most of the guys are 2nd & 3rd generation Locksmiths so they know what they are doing read more

My fiance and I somehow lost the keys to the padlock on our Uhaul, and after a long drive and little sleep, these guys made it as easy and pleasant as possible to cut the lock and get into our truck. Service was extremely fast and personable, for a low cost. We are very thankful for their help during what could have been a crisis for us. read more

Great experience with this company. I actually first called Cothrons, but while they were very nice on the phone they weren't very helpful. I needed to have quite a bit of work done at my rental house and the woman on the phone told me they couldn't tell me if the technician who would arrive would have all the pieces they needed to complete the job or even if I went and purchased them to have them on hand if the technician would even be able to install that type of lock. And she wouldn't check for me, she told me the best she could offer was I can ask the technician when he arrived or on the phone if I was able to speak to him when he was on the way.. Seems like a waste of time and money for me that they wouldn't do it and quite honestly a pretty silly setup if that's their MO. So, I went ahead and called this company instead and it was the complete opposite experience. The person I spoke to on the phone was very helpful and made some great recommendations. The technician that called to come to my house was very accommodating as I wasn't able to get there very quickly and he adjusted his schedule so that we could find a time that would work for us both. He arrived promptly and got all the locks installed, existing ones rekeyed, made sure they all work, and reviewed all work with me. Very happy customer and 100% would recommend them and use them again in the future. read more

We had a deadbolt that broke on an outside building. Even though I said there was no hurry, they were out within the hour. The drilled the lock out and had a new one installed in no time. Very nice and professional staff. The total cost was $140, but it was also an "after-hours" call. read more

Last week Advanced Lock came out and re-keyed the locks on my new place. Zac was right on time, professional and charged exactly what was quoted. Recommend them highly! read more

Fantastic service! This locksmith was prompt, friendly, and very helpful! Douglas came out and installed a new keyless deadbolt and handleset for us. We're totally pleased! Thanks, Advanced Lock! read more

Went to the shop with a stuck lock cylinder, I was very impressed by their excellent service and reasonable price, strongly recommend this place. read more
