Marty saved me on a dark winter night during the polar vortex. He arrived in well less than an hour and fixed my problem in no time. I was due the next day for treatment at a downtown hospital with all my meds inside, so my anxiety was high. He is a caring and honest guys who knows his stuff!

Miriam Ervin

Marty at AA1 was really helpful. Very professional and kind, as well as trustworthy and was available within 24 hours of when I called. I highly recommend AA1 Discount Locksmith.

Lisa Fountain

Marty is a saint and a gentleman. My street door lock was no longer working with my key, and he took the trip out fix it. He showed up PERFECTLY on time, gave it a look, basically squirted a drop or two of WD40 into the mechanism, didn't make me feel dumb at all for not trying that myself (d'un, which I totally should have done, obviously), and didn't charge me a thing. The condo I live in has used Marty and AA1 Discount Locksmith for all of our security needs because of this excellent professional and neighborly service. I really appreciate having such a reliable and friendly (and well priced! even when we have paid for stuff it's been very reasonable!) person to do business with.

Marty was very professional and was able to come right away when we had a problem with the lock on our door. It turned out the issue was easily fixable and Marty gave us an incredibly fair deal. Would definitely call him again with any issues we have!

Marty did a wonderful job rekeying my locks and making me key copies for my new condo. He was on time, friendly, and fast with services. And he did a great job! Would definitely use his services again.
