I had a great experience with AKW Locksmith on Atlantic Blvd. My husband needed help opening his glove compartment, and Israel went above and beyond he made him a key on the spot and didn't charge anything extra. He treated us with so much respect and was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. I also had a custom soccer key made, and he had a great variety of key designs to choose from. Everything was very affordable, and the shop itself feels clean, professional, and trustworthy. My husband will definitely be coming back to get another car key made. Highly recommend Israel deserves 10 stars! read more

Last month, our elderly neighbor locked himself out of his home during the hottest part of the day. My husband called AKW and they were out and at the door picking the lock immediately. It was very pricy, but for the sake of our neighbor, it was worth the $80 bucks. Very fast, that's all I can say. read more

Called in inquiring if they could duplicate a atraditional sized mailbox key that Home Depot couldn't service, as our home only came with a single set. 10$, 2 duplicate keys, and 5 minutes into stepping into the store, and my major weekend errand was complete. read more

I recommend calling them before you go to the store. But this is my second time coming here to replace new batteries for my car keys. And usually there is this young fellow there. Very patient and great service. Very fast as well! read more

Very quick service. I was nearby doing some errands on New Year's Eve and saw they were open. I need an extra house key made so I thought why not go in and just ask. There was only one staff there and he helped me make a key in less than a few minutes! It only cost 3$ which is amazing and I used Venmo to pay. They also accept Zelle too. No time wasted and glad I got that key made! One less errand to do in 2025! read more

I recently stopped by here to replace my car key fob battery. Parking was easy (private parking lot & free). The sole employee was helpful and quoted $10 (tax included). He was able to get the job done in less than 10 minutes. They have latest tools needed to originate a new working key from transponder keys (aka chip keys or Smart keys), remote head keys, and car remotes & programing. I can see myself using this service again. P.S. - AKW (Auto Key World) also offers service on emergency lock outs & lost keys.

These guys solved my car key problem that TWENTY other places refused to touch, including the Dealer! I was going to have to pay $1000 and wait 6-9 months for a new key. These guys got it done for $350 in 45 min. I have an old (2006) Range Rover, for which we lost the only key we had. Key-to-start ignition. Alex from AKW drove to my home, and had a new key made (in his van somehow) within an hour, including electronic key fob to lock/unlock. He had to take the whole center console and ignition apart, no extra charge. He also helped me jumpstart it when my battery charger didn't work. THANK YOU AKW LOCKSMITH, you saved my a$$! read more

They did an okay job - I asked them to copy a car key that's from overseas and hard to buy in the US. TLDR: my car starts just fine but he key gets stuck in the ignition cylinder and doesn't open the glovebox. Went to another locksmith to try and fix this issue; told me the key was cut too deep. Now I've got a wonky key that works half the time. I'm out the price of shipping a new key from overseas + the cost of cutting it which they never offered to take back. Never had other locksmiths mess up like this before - disappointing. read more

I requested quotes and Chris messaged me very quick. The price was very reasonable and someone was able to come out right away. Chris was super friendly and unlocked the door I needed within minutes. I'm so thankful for the fast service and would recommend AKW locksmith services to everyone. read more

Jose did a great job helping me fix my car key. Before this I went to two different Honda dealerships and they said nothing could be done and that my only option was to buy new car keys for several hundred dollars. Jose fixed it in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommended. read more

Car key replications done correctly! Amazing in price, and quality of service for car keys, reprogramming, etc. Old Car: $10 battery replacement, $220 duplicate key with programming. Other old car was too old to make a duplicate key with programming from a non-remote key, BUT was able to make just a $85 separate alarm fob for it. Communication via Call/Yelp: - I got a quick response via Yelp when messaging 9pm on the night before Thanksgiving. They open half day on Thanksgiving until maybe 1pm? They work with old cars too. - Fyi, no calls going into the physical store? Numbers listed for this place: 909-990-9777 or 909-787-5888 both go to a co-owner not always on site. Prius 2008 - $10 battery replacement for my digital remote key. It barely any juice in it. But good enough to unlock the door and get me here. - $220 duplicate Prius car key (digital remote and key reprogramming). Due to my car being extra secure/more difficult to reprogram than normal, it took me returning another two days to get figured out. One of the owners came to do it and made sure it was good. Cause of that, they offered me discount for coming so many times. I appreciate that. SO lost his original car keys years back. He's been using the non-digitial/non-remote one for years. Thought it'd be a great gift to get him back to his upgraded life 10 years back with a digital remote key. Because the car was too old, they could only offer a key replacement, and $85 side remote which was good enough.. read more

Great Service!! Employee was quick and friendly , best of all fair pricing! I definitely recommend this place!

Got a couple business keysets made. They don't have every type of key so don't expect to get a complete set. Aside from being overpriced, we had 5 out of 15 conventional keys that were sloppily cut and didn't work - weren't even able to insert them. Absolute waste of money and time. I will revert to my usual dependable locksmith at John's Lock and Key read more

So i bought a Porsche a few months ago, but it only came with 1 key. I looked all over the place to make an extra copy just for peace of mind. After several weeks of researching and many phone calls I finally found this place. Several SMS going back and forth we came to an agreement on the time and place. It took about an hour and a half but that's was only because it was a specialty key. I highly recommend this place, and will come back in the future if needed. Thanks again AKW Locksmith read more

We had the pleasure of being helped out by Israel today. My Camry's fob was not responding so I bought a battery from another locksmith I had come across. Still the fob was finicky. Came to AKW and Israel was honest, helpful and informative. read more

They do Mercedes car keys at very very reasonable price. One of my original keys just stopped working one year ago. I asked for quotes via Yelps. Chris has lowest price. And he has a store, which is a plus. Then couple days ago my other original key stopped working. Reach out to Chris and get yelp's quote. Christ still the lowest price. Reprogramming key took less than 20 minutes. Highly recommend AKW for any key related issues!! read more

We were just going out for a walk, I had my garage opener but no keys or cell phone. I closed the door behind me, oh S$%T!! I don't have the keys. I locked myself out. I went to my neighbor's house and used their cell phone to look on Yelp for a Locksmith near by. I called AKW Locksmith, the gentlemen said Locked Out? Yes sir, Okay what's your address, we can be there in 30 minutes. Like I said I didn't have my cell phone and I wasn't going to call every locksmith for the best price. So I decided to let AKW Locksmith do the job. The locksmith arrived promptly and opened my door within a minute. The locksmith suggested I have a spare key in the garage in case this happens again. Valuable lesson learned and $100 less in the pocket don't lock the door before checking if you have the keys or don't lock the door at all. read more

Didn't request service; went to their shop to make duplicates of my house key. Called ahead and they picked up very quickly. Price was very reasonable and they welcomed me immediately. Given their professionalism, I look forward to relying on them if I ever need a locksmith service! read more

I just bought a used car that only came with one master key. I went to Chris to make a spare key for the car. He had oem key in stock and was able to cut the new key and program it in about 30 min.

A great place for quick and cheap key duplicates. I was very happy with their speedy service!

Had a key FOB for an older car ('09) that needed replacement. Also needed special OBD programming that would have cost hundreds at a dealer. These guys actually had a proper replacement FOB in stock and dialed it in to work like new. I was out the door about 25 minutes from when I walked in. $85. Good people, good price, good job. read more

Chris made a key for my 2024 ford maverick. Great service. Reasonable price. Couldn't be more satisfied.

I went in for the first time and was greeted warmly by Israel S. Both of my keys to my Honda HR-V were unresponsive. Israel tested both keys and found that one was defective and required replacing after using his diagnostic tool and the other one just required a new battery. He took the time to explain what happened and provided a quality and affordable replacement. I appreciate the honesty and the friendly attention he provided. Highly recommend for all your key needs!! read more

My old broken key! And my new key copy. Last night I lost my key and only had my FOB.

The lock to my gate was jammed and after trying to bash it with a hammer my last resort was to call a locksmith. Chris was very responsive and patient when I was in between communicating with him and my mom. His rates were reasonable for a house call that services the sgv region. He sent a technician (also named Chris) to my residence who was also pretty friendly and told me what was wrong with my lock! Thank you two for your helpfulness and swift responses. read more

Came in here to get a replacement key made for a van. Parked right in front and I was in and out in around 5 minutes, key works great. I think it was 10 bucks if I recall though to be honest I can't remember the exact amount. They take credit card, but they also had a QR code for Venmo. I can't speak to the locksmithing but for getting replacement keys made this place is great. read more
