First of all, love the name. The service in this store by Mike was excellent. The showroom is small but has a nice variety of security safes and home surveillance devices. They are not a 24/7 locksmith company but do provide the full service. We purchased items for our keys and was given a quick instructional on a few of the large floor safes. A good quality safe for the security of jewelry and firearms is the utmost important. read more

Mike was so helpful with showing me the different floor safes. The American Security safe with the pre fab jewelry boxes was something that I have not seen before. I bought a rubber key cover from Mike. All the accessories here are really cheap but the safes are all high quality and mid priced. They have a full service locksmith here too. read more

Thanks A Lock - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

See all

Had what I needed. They were very polite and got my keys made immediately. No wait!!!

Woke up this morning and went to open front door to collect newspapers. Unfortunately the front door would not open. There was no inkling of any problems the day before but that's how life is sometimes. I quickly needed to find a locksmith. Through a neighbor I was referred to Thanks A Lock. Josh answered my call and I was on the schedule for 12-2. Michael called to say he'd be over at 2:15 and he appeared. Without much ado, he quickly assessed the issue, replaced the broken latch and Voilà it was fixed. Between service call and part, the entire bill was $126. I was very satisfied with service and would recommend. Thanks A Lock! read more

Shayne helped me in the store and was EXCELLENT!! Mike came very next day by appointment. I needed two things done, and Mike completed both things in a few minutes... no theatrics, no nonsense - just a great 'locksmith experience' for me. Mike was very professional, and what a NICE GUY. He taught me how to change the combination on my lockbox. He made sure I understood too. Just amazing. So impressed. Thanks guys for the professionalism and great work. read more

Competent, efficient, great customer service. I needed a duplicate key made for my 2024 auto and called everwhere to compare prices. I had used this place many times but forgot the name. Went in got what I needed. Friendly and knew what they were doing, got it done. $25 cheaper than others lowest quotes! Im happy. read more

Condescending and rude! Insulted my lock, my knowledge and made me feel plain wrong about everything. I will never go back.

I have used Thanks-A-Lock in the past, specifically for programming a new car remote, copies of keys, and the like. Each and every time I've been there, I was cordially treated with respect. 2 days ago I had an issue with my front door entry latch. I went to TAL first, looking to support small businesses instead of the big box store. Once again I received great service. Instead of trying to sell me an entire double set replacement door handle and locks, I was provided with a simple fix and the part needed. Outstanding customer service, and I saved a bunch of money. The part was well worth the money I paid, and the instructions told to me were spot on. I would highly recommend them for any lock related issue. I shall return. read more

Very friendly and professional. Took extra time and care to fortify my locks. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend.

Very reliable. Direct customer approach- I had an issue with auto remote key. They were able to look into the issue and resolve. Thank you Josh. read more

Everyone who works here is always kind, friendly, and helpful. I recommend them to anyone I know who is in need of their services.

they just know the key business. they are very helpful and i have been helped twice in emergency situations

Very knowledgable. I brought in a key that had a phony web address on it and at first glance they said they could not copy it. A moment late, after a second look they said it was a common K1 key and I walked out happy. read more

Fast efficient perfect duplicate key service. Store location and service are top notch.

Needed a key made for a 1960s filing cabinet that somehow became locked during our cross country move. The owner was quick to respond to my Yelp message and was able to make the key that afternoon. Fast service and reasonable pricing. Would do business here again! read more

Had to get key programmed for car they were so friendly and went above and went above and beyond to help me will not go anywhere else

Great place!!! I've been here a number of times and they're always so helpful. Today I had problems with a lock and Josh help me to fix it and didn't even charge me. Where do you find people like that anymore? I highly recommend this place for any work that you need regarding locks, safe and deadbolts. read more

Mike came to do some work at the house. He was efficient, kind, helpful and professional. The price was reasonable and I would highly recommend this company, as they were referred to me by another happy customer. read more

I've had issues before with local locksmiths not being able to accurately duplicate an automotive key. I first called to find out if they were able to copy an older Lexus key. Very courteous on the phone and honest upfront that they could do most of them. I went to have the key duplicated and was very pleased with the friendliness and service. read more

TAL upgraded my home's deadbolts and later they installed a gun safe. I appreciated the quality and efficiency of their work. I comparison priced the safe and installation at other locksmiths and retailers. TAL was about $150 less expensive. I also like the fact that they dissuaded me from costly add-ons associated with my lock upgrades. TAL is a square-dealing business that I have grown to trust for my security needs. read more

All I needed was a key copy, but it was done right & fast. I've never had a proper key made at a home improvement store or anywhere else they do many other things besides keys. They simply never fit into the lock. My bad experiences have left me always going to a local locksmith. Personable, super fast & I liked that he had a number of funky key colors & designs cuz it's easier to locate a pink key on my giant keychain that leads others to believe I'm a janitor. Price was $6.45, but I did get the fancy schmancy Hello Kitty key. I didn't ask for a breakdown on price & he didn't offer a receipt. The good? They character keys are coated in some sort of plastic, so they glide into the lock much easier. Best key I've ever had. I'll continue to buy the character keys as I like how easily they open the lock. As an aside, they also offer knife sharpening. I asked about scissors or hairdressing shears & he said no as the blades are fine... basically kitchen or hunting knives. They're located next to the Home Depot garden center in the mall. 5* out of 5. read more

Large selection of keys, locks and safes. Good customer service.

Thanks A Lock saved our lives. My husband "tried" to do it himself and locked himself out and locked me in. Thanks to Thanks A Lock they came and solved the problem. read more

Honest and helpful with Hurricane Irma prep. They didn't gauge me when they possibly could have. Will definitely recommend and use again when necessary. read more

I was looking for a reputable locksmith to fix a bad lock that I had on a mailbox and found Thanks A Lock on Yelp. Easy parking right in front of the shop and I was greeted by a friendly gentleman as soon as I walked in the door. He diagnosed the problem with the lock, rekeyed it for me, made me some extra keys and I was on my way in no time. Great service at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Thanks A Lock. read more

Pretty much the worst customer service experience I have had in a very long time! I called with some questions the older man that answered the phone was so rude he wouldn't even let me get my questions out without cutting me off every time and he acted like I was completely bothering him and the truly sad thing is I was a returning customer. I would NOT recommend this place if you actually want help with your lock problems! read more

I have an older model Nissan Xterra in which the ignition key tip broke off. I called several locksmiths in the area and everybody prices were sky-high. Thanks a Lock had the most most reasonable price, so I came to them. When I talked to Joshua, he explained that my key had been stripped and there's probably nothing they can do, but they were going to try to make another key by "free style". Long story short, Joshua was able to make a key. He ended up saving me a lot of money that didn't have to spend. The guys in the shop we're very knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Amazing service. I came to the plaza for something unrelated and ended up locking one half of my broken key in the ignition with NO way of getting it out (believe me I tried!). I just happened to take a chance with this place and god BLESSSED me with Josh. He was patient and super helpful. I will def be back for all replacements. Thanks A Lock Josh! read more

Local to Boca Raton, trustworthy and reasonable prices. They showed up on time and provided great service!!

I will always use this company after being disappointed by others in the area that were very shady. read more

I set an appointment for Monday and the technician came right on time. He rekeyed 2 Kwikset locks and gave me two keys and was done in under 30 minutes. The service was excellent. They charged me about $120 search for the rekeying which I thought was a touch of excessive. Other than that the service was great. read more

Have used them for both residential and commercial properties and they always get the job done right!
