How much does a locksmith cost in Phoenix?
The $39 quote, $1000 bill trick.
Arizona is full of locksmiths advertising $39, $49, $59 jobs. Then the truck shows up, the work begins, and the bill is in the thousands. A real locksmith can quote a real price for a real job. Here’s how we work.
The “from $39” trap
Cheap quote, painful bill.
Scammers advertise a tiny starting price to get you to book with them, “It’s usually this much.” Once on site, the price climbs into the thousands. They lie to you. Tell you that you have high security when you don’t. Tell you they’re installing high security when they’re not, or that they’re using a very expensive tool that can only be used once. All lies.
- Quoted price: $39 “and up” without telling you what ‘and up’ is.
- Actual lockout bills: $400 to $2,000+
- Licensed in Arizona? Nope. There’s only about 12 licensed locksmiths in the Valley
- Real shop you can visit? Nope. Their receipts don’t list company names or phone numbers
- Photo estimates available? Nope.
How ACME prices
Real prices for real outcomes.
You pay us for results. One quote covers the whole job: removing old hardware, installing the new, lubricating and adjusting the locks, tuning the door so it closes right, fixing security issues we find along the way, meeting building codes and warranty. Our techs are trained to solve the problem, not stretch the bill.

Ernie is an excellent full service locksmith with a real store! I drove up in my RV with 2 locked doors with no key. He opened them quickly and replaced the locks with new matching keys. I’ve done other business over the years with total … More satisfaction and fair prices.

We are new home builders and somewhat often need locks re-keyed. We always get a quick response time.
And when I bring the locks into the shop, Willie always knocks them out in five minutes while I wait. -
Great experience. Walked in and was helped in a timely manner.

Common questions
Before you call.
Are all AZ Locksmiths licensed?
No. There are fewer than 12 fully licensed locksmith companies in the state of Arizona. ACME is one of them. We are licensed for your protection.
What is the BBB Ethics Award and why does it matter?
The BBB Torch Award for Ethics recognizes businesses that go above and beyond ethical industry standards. ACME is the only locksmith in Arizona to ever win it. In an industry full of price-trap operators, that distinction matters.
What cities does ACME Locksmith serve?
All of metro Phoenix from our four shops in Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Gilbert. Mobile coverage includes Chandler, Tempe, Glendale, Peoria, Ahwatukee, Queen Creek, Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley, Sun City, Sun Lakes, San Tan Valley, Goodyear, Avondale, and Tolleson.
Are you a mobile locksmith only or do you have a shop?
Both. We have four physical storefronts you can visit and full mobile service coverage from each shop. That means you can drop in for a key or rekey, or have a tech come to your home, business, or vehicle.
Do you offer same-day service?
Yes, for most service calls in the Phoenix metro. Call us at 602-422-9879 for emergency service. If you’re not in a hurry, you can save money on your locksmith service by scheduling service online.
