What Apex & Wake County Customers Say
“I bought a new doorknob that had the key going in upside down and I knew would drive me crazy. I called and they told me to come in instead of having a service guy drive to my house and they could do it for free if I came in! I really appreciated the honesty!! They were able to fix my doorknob in 5 min. Very happy - will definitely call them again for future lock / key issues!”
“The gentleman who greeted me at the door (Daniel) was so polite. I asked him if he help me with opening a small gun case. I lost the lock to it. I did tell him to be careful because it was a loaded gun in it but the safety was on. It took no time to open the case. I would definitely tell anyone that needs a locksmith? He would be the one I recommend. ☺️”
“I called the lock company to buy keys by the key code. They told me I ha e to use a distributor. The distributor told me there's a minimum purchase of $100. So I asked Apex Lock. They had the blanks, and I had the original, so it ended up $8/key vs min $100. Saved me time and money because they're easily accessible from everywhere and just down the road. I like the European look and feel of their shop. Quaint and Quality.”
“Excellent service, Daniel thank you. I got a duplicate chipped car key there a while ago and when I asked about getting a fob/remote, he advised to get one online. That saved me a ton of money. When I couldn’t program it myself, I stopped by and he had it working in about 10 minutes”
“I had a great experience yesterday at Apex Lock and Key. I needed two key fob replacements cut and programmed for a vehicle with only one key. They laser cut my keys, then programmed them, all in about 15 minutes. The store was clean, well organized, and had comfortable seating while I waited. I was offered a bottle of water while I waited, which I did not expect. In chatting with the store manager, he learned that I was an Army veteran and gave me a military discount. My new keys work perfectly, and I saved more than 80 percent off of what the Chevy dealer wanted to cut and program the keys. All in all, I had an outstanding experience and offer my highest recommendation for Apex Lock and Key.”
