I used ADC for many years. Sean and his partner were great. I love supporting small, quirky, independent shops. That all changed last visit. The dude there was incredibly aggressive and rude without reason.

Worst service ever! After waiting 15 minutes for dude to return from break, he never acknowledged me and spent another 10 minutes on phone. Unbelievably rude. I left and went to Ace hardware where I received excellent service

Tom returned to the shop and reopened on a Friday afternoon because the location downtown didn’t have the “dated” blank that I needed. I was leaving town and really needed those copies . Thank you Tom for customer service beyond what anyo…

I called multiple locksmiths because I lost a key. None of them had an actual shop and they quoted me a price of 250- 275 dollars for a key. When I called ACD they asked if I could bring in the lock which I did. They made me a key for that…

Frequently Asked Questions
What are ADC Lock & Key’s shop hours?
Recent listings show weekday hours of 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The shop is typically closed on weekends. Hours can change, so it’s best to call before heading over. If you have a specific part or key blank in mind, ask about availability when you call.
Can they make keys for older or uncommon locks?
Several reviews note success getting dated or uncommon key blanks and small parts for older hardware. Availability depends on what’s in stock or can be sourced. Bring the lock, cylinder, or existing key if possible to help identify the correct blank. Staff may research the blank or part before cutting.
Do they offer mobile or on-site service?
Public sources emphasize an in-shop experience, and many customers brought locks or hardware to the store. If you need mobile service, call to ask about current options. Be ready to describe the lock type and situation so they can advise you.
How much does key duplication cost?
Pricing varies by key type and blank availability. Reviews mention low prices for standard in-shop keys compared to mobile service quotes. Specialty blanks or high-security keys may cost more. Calling ahead with the key type can help estimate cost.
What should I bring when I need a key made without the original?
If possible, bring the lock or cylinder so the correct key blank can be identified. Any model numbers, brand names, or existing keys for similar locks are helpful. Photos of the hardware and measurements can also speed things up. Plan a bit of extra time if research is needed.
