Ames came to my house yesterday to look at my front door. It turns out it didn't need a completely new door handle, just a part, and some greasing. It's like it's a whole new lock. I appreciate the honesty, especially when another company didn't even bother looking inside and just told me that they would have to replace the entire handle and deadbolt.

I also visited their shop front and the lady there was very nice and quick with her service! TY.

Driving my work truck I locked myself out. They showed up promptly with a can do attitude. Shout out to Ryan who tried several methods until he was successful. Once again thank you Ryan for getting me back to work.

Ames was absolutely the best experience, from the amazing customer service on the phone to installation. Definitely would request their services again. Polite, professional and efficient. They changed all of the keys/locks on my new home the same day I called. Thank you!

These guys are great!

I called them and they were at my house in less than a half an hour, plus they were able to fix my front door that hadn't properly worked in years. Everything was wrapped up within about an hour.

DEFINITELY Recommend!

On Thursday February 06 I stopped by at about 4:10 to have a key cut...there was no one there and the sign clearly was marked open until 4:30. The next day I came back at about 3:30 to find that hey were closed AGAIN, this time with sign saying they were closed. Wasted an hour of my time going to this "business" twice. This would be a great spot to open a locksmith shop...doesn't appear the be a reputable one in the neighborhood. Finally went to Lowes...should have gone there in the first place. Edit...I know what time it was, and you and a Woman were getting into your cars in the parking lot in the back. You have a big truck if sorts.
