Most people don't know this trick exists.

If your key fob shell is cracked or broken, you don't always need to buy a new fob and pay for programming or make a dealer trip. ACME Locksmith can just swap the electronics into a new shell, cut the key, and send you on your way. Same chip, same programming, brand new case.

We do this in minutes at our all four of our locations. No reprogramming cost. No dealership. No hassle.

We Rekey the Locks Most Locksmiths Won't Touch.

High security lock cylinders like this one require a completely different skill set to rekey. Most locksmiths don't stock the pins, and frankly don't have the experience. We do.

We rekey Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Marks, ASSA, and other high security cylinders in our shop. These locks are built with tighter tolerances, specialty pins, and in some cases patented keyways. Getting them wrong means the lock won't function correctly. Getting them right takes training and the right tools.

If you have a high security lock and need it rekeyed, don't hand it to someone who has never seen one before. Bring it to us.

We have four locations across the Phoenix metro and we've been doing this since 1997. Visit the link in bio or give us a call.

Classic Car, No Key. Not a Problem for ACME.

This is a door lock cylinder from a 1968 Mercury Cougar. No key existed for it. We made one from scratch.

Classic and vintage cars are a specialty for us. Old locks like this one require a different skill set than modern vehicles. There are no computer codes to pull, no key fob to program. You have to know the lock, know the keyway, and know how to work with what you have. We do.

If you have a classic car that needs keys, give us a call.

Lost Your Keys? We've Got You.

We make new keys from scratch, no original required.

What you're seeing here is our shop technician making rv keys using is a technique called impressioning. We insert a blank key into the lock, work it to leave marks on the blank, then file it down based on those marks. We repeat that process until the key turns. No original key, no code, no problem.

RV door locks are one of the more common calls we get for this. Owners lose their only key on a trip, or buy a used RV with no keys at all. Either way, we can make keys for you.

We put together a YouTube video showing exactly how this works if you want to see the full process: youtu.be/1uZjyWVcglI

We've been making keys in Phoenix since 1997. If there's a keyway, there's a good chance we can make a key for it. Give us a call or visit the link in bio.
