A real shop, not a rented van
Walk in. We are right here.
A lot of locksmith listings are a rented van, an out-of-state call center, and a name made up last quarter. ACME runs a real storefront on the corner of Elliot and McQueen, near The Islands. Walk in, meet the tech, watch the work happen at the counter. No appointment, no trip charge to walk in.

New Gilbert home? Read this first.
Just moved into a Gilbert home? Get a 7-Point Security Check.
When you buy a Gilbert home, you do not know how many keys are still out there. Builders, agents, cleaners, the last owner. ACME does more than a basic rekey. Our 7-Point New Home Security Evaluation checks every exterior lock, the strike plates, garage security, mailbox keys, and your door’s security. We then rekey everything to one new key. Builder communities like Power Ranch, Seville, Layton Lakes, and Adora Trails often shipped with early Kwikset SmartKey locks that a cheap tool can bypass. We replace those daily.
A safe showroom in Gilbert
See the safes in person.
Most locksmiths never touch safes. We keep a working showroom on the floor at McQueen. Touch the doors, test the dials, compare fire ratings and burglary ratings before you buy, no pushy sales.
Already own one? We open locked safes, change combinations, service dials and digital locks, and move heavy safes across Gilbert. Bought it elsewhere, we still service it.

From the owner
The tech at your door is one of ours.
I live here in Gilbert and I bought ACME in 2007. We have run this town for years, from the shop at Elliot and McQueen. When ABC15, CBS5, or 3TV’s Pat McMahon Show needs someone to explain a locksmith scam, a safe rating, or a smart lock failure on camera, they call me. I am a cited source on WikiHow for security how-to articles.
The techs you meet on a Gilbert job are W-2 employees, uniformed, and background-checked. No subcontractors. No out-of-state call centers. No van that pulled into town yesterday. Veteran-owned, owner-operated.

David is an incredible help! Our front door lock at our business was not very smooth. In fact it was so bad, we broke a key off in it trying to unlock it. When I went to disassemble it, I saw just how bad it was. David gave me a very helpful … More hint to prevent a small disaster and I was able to get it out and over to him. He was able to match the part, get all the correct hardware and make a couple of extra keys on the spot. Yes, I could have saved some money online, but not only did I get the parts immediately, but I got thorough advice and tips on how to reinstall the lock. It works remarkably well and it is done in a matter of a few minutes knowing how to properly install it from David's instructions. I have used Acme for years for reasons like David's expertise.

I want to give a huge shout out to David! I came in with a very hard to find key and he went over and beyond to make it happen. He was incredibly helpful, personable and genuinely cared about making sure I was taken care of his customer … More service and rapportwere outstanding. I highly recommend having your keys made here if you’re looking for someone who truly knows their stuff and goes the extra mile ask for David.

I had broken the key fob for my car at about 4:00 pm, and had to get that fixed in a hurry. I found Acme Locksmiths, and rushed over to their shop. David was working, and while he didn't have my exact fob in stock, he was able to transfer … More my fob's guts into a similar one, and it works perfectly. A very reasonable price, as well. He was responsive and knowledgeable, and worked hard to get me up and running. Thanks, David!

How much does a Gilbert locksmith charge to unlock a home, car or business?
A legitimate locksmith charges roughly $199 to unlock a car, home, or business during regular hours. Always get an exact price up front, not after the work.
Are Arizona locksmiths licensed?
