Came out in the middle of the ice storm and had a new key cut and programmed for me at half the cost of what would have been the dealership. Great customer service. They were at my home within an hour of calling. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Jen for a friendly, fast, and professional job well done. She was very accommodating and helpful. Top notch and great experience! Thanks so much! I love my new lock and door handle. ??????

Albemarle Lock and Safe sent Aaron to my house recently to fix a door knob in an old building in Downtown Charlottesville. He was the best version of a locksmith that I could have asked for.
He was so knowledgeable and personable. He immediately diagnosed the problem, and he used the least expensive approach to getting it fixed. He enthusiastically answered my questions and helped me to understand how to prevent the problem in the future. I am actively sharing my recommendation because "Aaron is the real thing". Gratefully yours, Martha T.
