A-Abbot Locksmith

Modern equipment and technology with knowledgeable customer service. Jim fielded my phones call inquiries to perfection. He assisted me with a quick look-up of the key I needed for a broken vehicle key. We arranged for my visit at the least busy time of day. I didn't have a spare and he recommended a shell to house the existing one that was in pieces.

I ended up with two brand new keys that will last for another 10 yrs. Austin was polite, kind, sincere and a pleasure to work with. He has excellent customer service and interpersonal skills that today's and yesterday's consumer needs and values. Jim understands the balance of value, too. He made the whole package make sense and has built a great business that serves the county well. All my best to A-Abbot Locksmith!

Lowe's self service and other machine wouldn't copy my key. One phone call to Jim at A-Abbot and a short drive later, I've got two duplicates in my hands. Should've started here. Now I know.

About a week ago I came here as my car's fob finally Kay one of the buttons officially fall out from use. I came here as my grandma's doctor is neighboring to it. She had an appointment so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. I already knew GM would want $200-$300 for a new one. I believe it was Angel (I should have wrote this review write away so I wouldn't second guess his name), that helped me out super quickly.

He looked at my key, found a replacement and quickly let me know the cost. It was going to be a birthday gift for me. She said go for it. He let me know it's be 30 min - 1 hour. I let him know I'd be back as I needed to go to Petco and sure enough when I returned it was ready. Key works and looks great. Angel said they tested and all keys worked fine.

I wanted to test my key to start the engine from outside the car and it started. So I was very happy. Will definitely be back as my husband's car key needs replacing as well. Definitely recommend.

I had the unfortunate task of locating a locksmith for a new car key last week. A friend recommended A-Abbot as the only place to go. I was lucky enough to deal with Jim. What a pleasant and interesting man! He had my new key in 20 minutes and during that time he shared some lovely photos and info about gemstones with me. Price was very reasonable next a dealership. Great small business! Please support them!

Stopped by and got an OEM fob and fresh key for 06 Denali. 15 minutes and I was outta there. Even the ignition works like new again. This dude is GREAT!

I was referred by ACE hardware to have some specialty keys made and "Jim" was the locksmith that helped me. He was super cool and got the job done quick and their prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be coming back to. A-Abbot for any needs regarding keys/key fobs/locks/etc. I never leave a review this quick but I am literally still sitting I'm the parking lot and thought they deserve the 5 stars.

Needed a screw for my key fob. Also needed some accessories for keys. Jim was very helpful. Thank you Jim.

Zero acknowledgment! I came in to get a car key replacement. I stood there for over 5mins 2 different guys walked by or to the front area, neither one acknowledged me to say hello will be with you in a few or something! I understand they maybe working on other tasks or projects but at least an acknowledgment I finally just walked out. My service will be going elsewhere. Customer service is vital.

Fast service Jim is the man! Highly recommend if you are in a hurry and need quality service.

Came in to have my key remote fixed Justin helped me out, he was quick and efficient I was in and out in a timely manner thanks Justin!

I have lived in the city of ORANGE for over 25 years. Doing my time in this area I have on more than a few occasions utilizing their location on Katella Ave and more than other personnel I always seems to get Jim as my locksmith. Every time that I've been there he has given me good advice and service. I will always return to have my keys made there.

Stop searching for a Lock Smith. You just found the best one in the area. These guys are amazing. My family has been coming here for a while. Recently I bought a 52 Buick with a key that was worn out and would no longer open the doors and trunks. I removed the lock tumbler and brought it in. Jim Thorpe helped me out within 15 minutes had keys maid for my original locks.

When I say this place is the one stop shop for your lock Smith needs. I'm not kidding. They stand behind everthing they do. There not done until your happy. Don't waist your time by trying to find another place. THIS IS THE PLACE! You can thank me later

After visiting 15 locksmiths I finally found someone who can make duplicates for MUL-T-Lock keys. Jim is extremely helpful and knowledgeable!

They didn't have a Old Toyota blank Jim said they can have some by sometime next week, ok. I get a call a couple of days later and they were in! Great! He as they say under promised and over delivered! Thank you Jim!

I have been coming to A-Abbot locksmith for years first because they are reliable 2 nd because the do an outstanding job on every occasion and it's been numerous times in my opinion they can't be beat!

It was a hot sunny afternoon, but I needed a key made. I walked in and I was acknowledged before the door closed behind me. "Hello, what can I do for you"? A Abbot is the blueprint for customer service. I am still a believer because I walked into this place on a whim. Thank you Jim! Customer service is still alive because of hard working, pleasant people like you.

Abbott Locksmith in Orange, CA is the best locksmith I have ever been to. Very pleasant staff and they really know what they are doing. I bought two keys from another establishment, and they did not work correctly. I went to Abbott Locksmith, and they work beautifully now! Angel did a real good job

This is my third time using A-ABOTT locksmith, very reasonable prices and friendly staff, Angel helped me recode an ignition lock for a 2001 Chevy Silverado, he did it promptly and with a smile, an older gentleman with glasses kept me entertained while I was waiting, my experience with A-ABOTT was nothing like the negative reviews from other people, I strongly recommend them if you need locksmith work.

Thanks Jim for making our Friday! Super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! If you need any lock related service I recommend them!

I was having issues with my 2014 Honda Civic Key Fobs. Dealer wanted $500.00 for 2 keys. Abbot was half that. They could of just used an aftermarket key, and gotten my money right then and there. But they suggested I wait 7 days for them to get a OG Honda key, since i was planning to keep the car for a while longer. The price difference? 10 bucks a key.

So they were willing to wait on getting my cash so that i could be assured of a quality product. Thanks Jim for your prompt programing of my keys. Tell your boss to take you to lunch.

Needed to make a copy of lost mul t lock key. Basically high security locks that can only be made by authorized dealers and for the owners of the original. Not sure what it typically cost but I know I've paid 30-50 in the past. JIM THORPE saved the day by making me tk copies for 30 so 15 dollars a piece. Walked in, got ownership verified and the key made along with some friendly conversation all in under 20 mins. Def would use them again for any all lock and key needs in the future, their convenient located to an area I frequent seem knowledgeable friendly and definitely competitively priced, most likely will be returning soon to replace a front door handle and dead bolt.

GREAT SERVICE at GREAT PRICES. I needed to copy a mail box key and the supposedly quick and easy machines they have at Ralphs weren't easy, nor quick, nor did they have the key. Looked up a locksmith close by and they were quick, easy, got it done in less than 5 minutes. I love people to people interaction so it was nice not having to try to figure out what buttons to press. I just told the guy what I needed and it was like "Here you go. Done." Great place, great people, would definitely recommend.

Note self: Key fob batteries should be replaced every three or four years. I stopped by to change my key fob battery after I started having delays locking & unlocking the car. Jim provided excellent customer service in demonstrating various key clip options to help me with the tone of keys I have to manage. Fair prices. Thanks Jim, the key fob now locks & unlocks my car with ease!

Jim at A-Abbott Locksmith is helpful and informative. He knew about a special key I needed duplicated and made sure he could supply it! I would recommend them!

Needed a spare key for my 2002 Ford Ranger because I locked my keys in my truck on accident trying to jump start my battery a few days ago. I went to the Ford dealership to get a spare but it cost almost 300$ for a key so they recommended me this cool key making shop called A-Abbot Locksmith I asked for a quote for a key and they gave me a reasonable offer and it was way less than what the dealership wanted so I accepted it. A-Abbot shaved the key to match my original key within minutes and programmed it to my vehicle even programmed my remote that I didn't think it would work but they made it work I recommend coming to this location for your key needs.

Worked with Tim a few days ago to get a fob for my sons car and have a spare key made. He found the right parts and got the fob programmed right away. Excellent service and a pleasure to work with! A-Abbot has become my family's go to when we need a locksmith!

Jim helped me out today and I was looking to have to pay over $1000 for a handle set but he was a real pro and realized from my pictures that the outside parts were fine and I just needed the interior which was only $300. Thank you Jim and A-Abbot Locksmith for being professional and honest! I am a customer for life!

Justin cut me a new key for my ford truck. Did a great job and quickly. Always a positive experience here.

Hands down the fastest and best quality work in town! Also the cheapest! I needed the locks at my shop rekeyed and Evan was here within the hour. Evan was very knowledgeable, fast, professional, and what I loved most he was courteous to my customers coming in. If you want anything key related I'd highly recommend A-Abbot Locksmith and ask for Evan! Thank you guys!

I had an old deadbolt that fell apart and I needed a replacement. I called and talked to Jim. He was able to give me a couple of price options and he was able to set the new deadbolt to my original key (so I could use my one key for the 3 deadbolts on my 3 different doors). The price was right and the service was fast. I highly recommend and will use again.

Its a little bit out of the way for me but whenever I need locks or keys done, I always make it a point to visit Jim and friends at A-Abbot. The place is tiny but it has an old school vibe and they treat you like an old friend when you walk in the door. It can get a little bit busy during peak hours but the wait is never too long. On one occasion, I had an issue with one of my cut keys not turning in the tumbler.

It might have been due to a bad copy. I took it back and they took care of me and made sure that the new key worked in the cylinder. They are a little pricier than the orange big box hardware and home store when it comes to locks, but their customer service is unparalleled and they will go out of their way to make sure that you leave happy. Truth be told, I don't need a locksmith very often--but when I do, I always turn to A-Abbot.

Old school customer service at its finest, with fantastic prices and options. This place saves you the hustle and bustle of big crowds and long lines. Fast an efficient

When our front doorknob broke off on the weekend, they came out and quickly repaired it, thwarting would-be burglars. They also make excellent duplicate keys. Jim in their office was particularly helpful, providing cheerful service when I come in frazzled.

Had to get some trailer keys made, as I could not find my spare. Was recommended to come here by my father-in-law and sure enough they were reliable, well mannered, and very knowledgeable. Jim helped me out, he had great customer service. I asked about pricing for a car key, pretty good prices. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good locksmith.

. Today I needed to have a duplicate ford truck key made. I remember seeing this place near a freeway entrance at Katella & the 55 fwy. I decide to stop by and check them out. These guys are great. They have tons of keys and other equipment packed into this small place. Don't be fooled by the small size of this business. Once I walked in I was impressed with how much stuff they have packed inside.

They were able to make keys, sell me remotes and program them on the spot. The entire process took maybe 15 minutes. I was impressed with how easily and quickly they took care of the work. The price was much much cheaper than what the ford dealer had quoted me. Its really rare to find good service like this now days.

I needed a key remote for my GMC truck and Jim was able to help me out and I was done in like 15 mins. Great customer service. I will definitely be returning.

Amazing fast and friendly service! Made a few copies of a key for me in just a few minutes and for a very fair price. Very nice!

This is such a convenient and efficient locksmith! Jim was welcoming and funny. He was able to replace my fob batteries in under 5 minutes.

Jim and his crew take very good care of all our locksmith needs. They are responsive when called for on-site service. I feel their prices are reasonable and they are reliable. My favorite locksmiths!

Honest, Fast friendly service, this is my go to spot for making keys, changing mailboxes, etc I would give them more stars if I could.

My mechanic recommended A-Abbot Locksmith after my door lock was damaged by someone who broke into the car. I spoke to Jim on the phone and he suggested that, before investing in a new cylinder, I bring the car by the shop so he could try to repair the existing one. He was unable to do so because the cylinder was too badly damaged and he consequently refused any payment for his time, though he worked on it for close to an hour.

After my mechanic ordered a new cylinder, Jim then rekeyed and installed it in less than an hour. It works perfectly. How nice to find a shop with employees like Jim who make service a priority, who care to do quality work and are kind and communicative in the process.

Can to these guys to copy my key. They guy assured me it would work and overcharged me. I left and guess what. it didn't work and this is where they were unresponsive. Save yourself the massive headache and the massive amount of money they charge and go anywhere else

Thank you Tim and Jim! Great service, friendly and quick. Not to mention your great rates. Will be referring all our coworkers here in Anahieim and all friends in the Anaheim and Orange, CA area! Thank you again!

Had a key made and struggle to make it work. Brought the lock in, 2 minutes to figure pro lem and I was on my way. These 2 guys are the best. Will not go anywhere else. Simply the best!

They are awesome. Quick and friendly service. I was able to get a new key with remote made for my 2015 Toyota Venza at a fraction of the cost at the Toyota dealership. I am not surprised they have been in business so long. I will use them anytime I need a key!

Always pleasant to go in and get keys or car remote batteries. Keys always work. They are not open weekends unfortunately so Monday to Friday only. This is the one thing I don't like.

I've been coming here for years and been sending my customers here as well. I own an auto body shop and they do all of our keying. Tim helped me out this time and I was in and out quickly. Thanks guys! Service: Re-key lock

Jim was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was very fast, and helped me with exactly what I was looking for, and gave me options I did not know were available. Fast, friendly and efficient. Service: Copy vehicle key

Full disclaimer. I screwed up. I had keyed a deadbolt to match my other locks and then promptly tossed the wrong set of keys in the trash. (sigh) Jim and his team are great - I brought the deadbolt in and 20 minutes later walked out with everything taken care of and my mistake magically disappeared. Thanks for bailing me out Jim, I greatly appreciate your help.totally recommended.

I'm very glad that I took my friends recommendation and came here for a new car key. My old one would not respond when I needed it to and I was getting miserable. Since my replacement, I've been very happy. I'd recommend anyone in need of a new key to come here!

Highly recommend these guys. Service with an honest smile. Thank you Abbot.
