The shop’s location on Commercial Avenue ensures a straightforward trip for residents across Madison, including those in the Maple Bluff, Tenney-Lapham, and East Side neighborhoods.

• Lock Repair and Servicing:
  • Repairing and servicing malfunctioning residential and commercial lock hardware.
  • Re-keying locks to fit a new key, offering a cost-effective security change without replacing the entire mechanism.

The primary highlight of ADC Lock & Key is the unparalleled commitment to fair pricing and customer service, distinguishing us from mobile-only competitors in the region.

• Incredibly Fair Pricing: The most significant feature noted by customers is the remarkable value. One review details how the price for creating a lost key was only $8, compared to quotes of $250-$300 from mobile locksmiths. This commitment to affordability for in-shop services is a cornerstone of our business.
• True Brick-and-Mortar Shop: Unlike many locksmiths who operate strictly as mobile units, ADC has an actual shop located on Commercial Ave, allowing for a more thorough, affordable service when customers can bring the lock or key in. This location provides immediate access to extensive inventory.
• Expertise with Complex & Dated Keys: Our technicians are highly trained in researching and locating blanks for unusual or dated keys that downtown or mobile services may not stock. This dedication to finding the right solution, even for obscure locks, saves customers from costly full lock replacements.
• Customer Service Beyond Expectation: Local users frequently cite personal, extraordinary service. One grateful customer mentioned that a locksmith, Tom returned to the shop and reopened on a Friday afternoon specifically to help them get a needed key copy before leaving town. This level of dedication is a core benefit of choosing a truly local, neighborhood business.
• Honest, Transparent Labor: Customers appreciate that complex work—such as the 10 minutes to find a blank, look up serial numbers and do some research on the computer for a lost key—was done without the massive labor fees charged by other providers. As one customer put it, It was the first time I’ve tipped at a retail business and I’m 50 years old. Excellent quality at more than a fair price.

To benefit from the expert service and fair pricing offered by ADC Lock & Key, we encourage you to call or visit our shop during business hours. Whether you need an immediate key copy or a consultation on a tricky lock, direct contact is the best first step.
