I contacted "Advanced" about a new key fob for my Land Rover. Was told "Yep, we can program that." I said I already had a "blank" fob, be he said he only programs those he orders. $200 (vs $25) but. Fine. And $80 to program it. Okay. "I can have that for you Tuesday." Okay, let's do that. Heard nothing. I called later in the week, he said "mail gets here at 2.' Nothing. Called a week later. And then a.week later, and then a week LATER. Finally, I said "Hey, do you think you could order that with a guaranteed delivery date?" Crickets. So. After waiting for six weeks for the firstavaikable appointment

Lightning fast service! Called in to see if they could replace my 2011 Lexus RX450h fob and was told that if I brought it in, they could take care of it in 15 minutes. Well, I brought my car in the next day and they weren't joking. They had me up and running in 15 minutes (if that). They were cheaper than Peterson Lexus by over $100 and didn't require an appointment.

Kurt was AMAZING and was able to help us solve an intimidating, late-night problem (keys to house AND car left in Colorado!) within 25 MINUTES. The relief was tangible to have a SOLUTION (keys made), not just an unlocked house/car. I've dealt with locksmith companies across the United States, there is no one better nor more trustworthy!

I locked my Keyes out of my car tonight. On a Saturday night at 7 they sent someone out right away, j was expecting a huge fee and they were so cheap and friendly! I will never use anyone else or recommend anyone else. Great service and the experience was so quick and seamless. Thank you!!!

I had an amazing experience with advanced lock and key. I had my keys stolen and I needed new key fobs made. I called the dealership and was quoted an outrageous price. They sent me to advanced lock and key and it saved me a ton of money. In addition, they came to my house and did it quickly and efficiently and they were kind to work with. I highly recommend.

A couple of nights ago when it was pouring pretty good, I ran into the neighborhood Walmart for a few things before it got too late. When I got back to my car I realized in my rush I had locked my keys in the car. A couple of well meaning citizens tried to help but to no avail. Then Jack from Advanced Lock & Key, strolled up and said, "Here I am to save the day!" No not really, but pretty much that's what I heard. He was already in the parking lot saving someone else and popped my door open for a review in less than a minute. WOW! Thanks so much Jack, you're freakin fantastical! And Dillon thanks

The battery in my hand safe died, and I couldn’t find the backup key. Advance lock and key helped me get it open quickly, and was able to make me a replacement key. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing help. Will definitely use them again whenever the need arises.

What a terrific experience during a very stressful situation!
That big wind storm Saturday evening (9/18), had my patio door slam closed behind me... I was without an emergency key, barefoot, no cell phone AND had to go to an unknown neighbor for help!
They let me in... and use their phone - I just hit Google and called the 1st name that came up!
Advanced Lock and Key to the rescue!!!
In 30 minutes I was back inside AND had an extra key ready for any future mishaps.
Very professional and courteous and kind!
Thanks SO much...
That was epic!

I called advanced lock and key to get me a new key for my Toyota Prius after I lost my only key. After all, the dealer would charge me 400 for one key and they quoted me 500 for two.
The owner got my car unlocked and gave me a key that would start the car when inserted. However, my original keys were proximity keys that the car would recognize from a distance. These were the keys I asked and paid for. He was unable to program these new keys to the car, and I’m told he’s the only one at this business who could do it.
As a result, none of the buttons on my new keys function and I need to insert

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!
I cannot say I am happy to write this review, and it will be lengthy.
I had to get an extra key made for my car along with a key fob. I went to Advanced Lock and Key to do just this. The owner, Kirk, told me he'd been doing this for 37 years, and it would be an easy thing. Indeed, he created my new key and key fob with ease, then went to my car to program the key fob...once he completed this programming, my car would no longer start!
Now, I have a car that is literally dead in the water!
At this point, Kirk had no real answers for me; he said he'd never

Kirk Ciccarello went out of his way to make a service call to me the other day to fix my car that had been broken by another shop. He was supposed to be ending his shift soon and was nice enough to stop by and help me out first. My car wouldn't start until he fixed my MyKey Ford issue. I am grateful and highly recommend !

For my 300th review, I decided to compliment this key shop. Thank you for a great experience and and giving me a great price on a brand new lock for my desk to keep my belongings safe. I went in here today with my two children, and the staff and owner were amazing in helping me find a good option for my situation. Thank you again for a good experience. I will highly recommend you.

UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE- Im very confused by all the positive reviews. Maybe they didn't work with the same guy we had to deal with.
We got a new car and the locksmith place we went to for our previous car was closed so we found Advanced lock & key online and it looked promising because of the good reviews. BOY WERE WE WRONG.
The key that the guy copied would not work- so he was using the palm of his hand to try to punch it in. WHEN OBVIOUSLY IT WASN'T FITTING.
I was in the car being physically rattled by how hard he was punching my car.
I was taking a video of the car for my

Needed a couple of new style Kwikset key barrels reversed and it was done in 5 minutes for a minimum charge. Friendly and knowledgeable! FYI every repair person that comes to your house will charge a service fee. That is how a business stays afloat. Travel time, gas, and insurance are not free so don't let a 2 star review keep you away. These guys are awesome!

Advanced Lock & Key (Shawn) did an awesome job with our home project. I had placed a call to the main number from their website and Kirk called me back promptly. He gave me a quote for the work I asked to be done and assigned the project to Shawn to come out within two days of my call.
Shawn came out on time and ready to start the project. After a good discussion on what we wanted to achieve, Shawn made some suggestions that accomplished the same goal for less cost. Shawn has over 20 years of experience for the services we wanted done so we went with his suggestions.

Beware of Advanced Lock & Key in boise. This people are so shady, the said they could remove a broken key from my car's door and instead they pushed the lock all the way in to the door, leaving a hole!
We tried to work with them since Sunday, even agreed to pay them $100 to fix it, since they said the only way was to remove the door, and that they were giving us a discount.
They said they would stop by my place on Sunday to fix it, then they said it was snowing and that they needed daylight. Fine, then he asked us to drop the car today, fine, I took time off of work and dropped the
