AC LOCK-N-KEY — Local services in Seattle

The inside door knob to my patio broke off into my hand. It was probably the original one from the late '70s. When I contacted a couple of locksmiths about replacing the door knob and re-keying to match the current lock; one had a cost of $500-$600, two others did not respond to my inquiry. Adin Clark of AC Lock-N-Key responded, was available that day and had in stock a door knob to install. Turns out he also had a used door knob from the same manufacturer as my current one and it matched the other hardware for that door. He only replaced the interior knob so no re-keying was required. And the charge was considerably less than $600. I highly recommend...

Adin is a true craftsman. He helped us with our old doorknob/lock on our mid century modern house. Our vintage doorknob fell off in our hands, and we thought we were going to have to replace it with something inferior or that didn’t match the era of our home. Adin found several high quality options, but then ended up fixing our lock (allowing us to keep the original knob) by piecing old and new workings together in a way that only a true craftsman can do. It is clear how much Adin loves what he does, and it shines through in his work....

I’m blown away by the kindness of Adin and his friend (another locksmith!) Howard. I am house/pet sitting for a friend, and managed to lock myself out. In a panic, I googled “seattle locksmith” and called the first number, and not only were they so kind, but they helped me out for free because they “liked the challenge!” Adin was literally able to cut a new key by just looking at a photo of the original. Insane! It worked like a charm- I think we were all a little shocked that it...
