Moving to a new house is stressful along with all of the associated tasks that need to be completed. Security is very important to my husband and I, so naturally, replacing our locks was first priority since we had no idea who had copies of our key after the house was on the market for a while. Ash could not have been nicer or easier to work with. He alleviated so much stress in the moving process. He was easily available and accommodated our schedule. He met with my husband and I in our home, explained our options, providing both catalogs and also samples of the various locks and he was also was able to provide feedback regarding style of lock to match the aesthetic of our home (an added bonus!). My husband and I were eager to have our new locks installed and Ash provided multiple updates on when the locks would be ready as they were a custom job. As soon as the locks arrived in his shop, he quickly set up an installation date. When the day arrived, he was punctual and efficient. He also took the time to make sure my husband and I were happy with the job. Ash had us try each of the locks individually and made sure we both felt comfortable with our new locks. Pricing wise, he was very fair and comparable, if not better, than the other quotes we received. I could not recommend Advance Lock and Key enough. I will definitely be using them in the future for all of our security needs.

Wow Ash is the best.....he helped me and my business out so much and i can not thank him enough. I run a driving school and more then a few times my key fabs broke....called this company and this showed up and introduced himself as Ash...this guy was like a superhero i was in a bad jam with student's lined up and cant get in to the car.....he went to work super fast with knowing im a small business owner who is down and got me going within a few minutes and just in time to start me day....i can NOT thank you enough brother i definitely appreciate you and i definitely recommend Ash he is the best hands down...and such a great guy overall so respectful and funny thank you Ash you are awesome.

Outstanding service for years!!! As a child I would be with my single- parent father throughout a lot of his errands. He worked as a local plumber, and made many positive relationships with store owners. Learning from this, I follow his footsteps and try to go to community owners as well. Advance Lock and Key are top tier professionals with a sense of compassion for their customers. Experts are always around to give advice, recommendations, and instruction for any of their products or just to be helpful. I have been coming here exclusively for years, and will continue to do so. This is the way you run a local shop for the people. Ask for Ash, he is always there to back you up!

Went there today and had such a great experience. super professional and caring staff. Had the pleasure of meeting employee named Ash and spoke to him about how the state is closing all small businesses again and how my business is currently closed. He was super nice and helped me a lot. They have excellent products and great understanding about customer needs. (Not looking only to sell). Definitely got my, my friends and family’s business. As a Staten Island resident I understand the struggle of small businesses, we need to support these types of small businesses and not the huge corporations like Home Depot. Thank you so much for this experience.

Just a wonderful experience … I originally went there to have some keys made and found their their cabinetry/entry hardware showroom by chance… it was my lucky day as I was in the middle of refinishing 29 kitchen cabinet doors… they have unbelievable quality, selection and service… Tom King and Ash Wechsler were just great… patient and very knowledgeable… I must have gone there at least 5 times having changed my mind and ordering samples… they are just so pleasant to work with and treated me like family… I highly recommend them and the products and services they offer … thank you Tom and Ash for all your help … I love my Emtek cabinet pulls!

We were referred to Advance to replace our main entrance door knobs. We contacted Advance and made an appointment with Ash who was amazing! He came to our home to assess our door and guide us towards the best decision. Ash spent time with us on the phone and in person, not only supporting us with any questions we had but also helping us address any unplanned concerns that came along the way. Ash came back to our home again to install the door knobs himself and he even went to my moms house when she locked herself out of her own home! We couldn't be happier to have found Advance Lock and Key and Ash!

The best service you will find! Truly merits its 4.9/5.0 stars & >750 reviews! Extremely prompt, kind, and HONEST business! I was going to be scammed by my Honda dealer for key fobs (reprogramming x2 fobs and purchase x1 fob). They were going to charge me double! Honda makes WORTHLESS fobs with shoddy plastic that disintegrates. They threatened I would get sub-par service at an outside dealer. After 10 yrs I finally got a high quality fob! Nice hard plastic. Request employee ASH!! Wonderful assistance. Bottom line: Honest. High-quality. Respectful. Never going to the Honda dealer again.

ASH Worked his magic on this 90-year--old door with its original brass handset and locks. The door would not close and the handle screws unthreaded. Where another locksmith would have said replace it and lose the character of the door, Ash, appreciative of the door's character, was determined to fix the locks. As he said, "thinking outside the box," he figured out a way to realign and reset the hardware and had both locks working as good as new in less than an hour. Owners of old homes, take note: Your first call should be to Ash at Advance Lock and Key. You will be glad you did.

I had been searching for a locksmith expert that could advise me on options for my home’s front door when I came across Advance Lock & Key online. After going into the store, I was greeted by the owner and given a detailed consultation about the options available and what would best suit my needs. He was so knowledgeable and pleasant that I walked out knowing exactly what I wanted. I scheduled the appointment and Ash came out to install and I couldn’t be happier with the product but also with the exceptional level of service they gave me.

I just can't say enough good things about Ash so not sure where to begin… I called him because I needed a smart lock installed for my front door. Before he was even officially hired, Ash took the time to educate me on the type of door that I had and also helped me pick out a new door latch that I needed from Amazon. He really went above and beyond and It is truly rare nowadays to deal with a person who loves what they do for a living and that’s Ash. If you are in need of anything that requires a locksmith Ash is your guy! Do not hesitate!

After dealing with the manufacture of my safe for months (who was useless and unsuccessful to say the least) My appt. with Ash was nothing short of a great one. It was an enlightening experience of just trying to get to the bottom of the issue with our safe. He is extremely knowledgeable, honest and reliable. He took his time to complete every trouble shoot and explained everything. This was incredibly professional and courteous. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for anything to do with locks and safes!

*THE BEST EXPERIENCE HERE* I was unfortunately locked out of my apartment last night (for the 2nd time), so a good friend of mine took me to make copies of my apartment keys at Advance Lock & Key, and I am so glad she brought me here! We were not only greeted so kindly by Ash but his service was phenomenal! He was patient, personable, informative, and made the most wonderful spare copies of my keys ever! I highly recommend utilizing the services at this business location! ✨ And thanks Ash! :)

I recently visited Ash's store and was blown away by the exceptional service I received. Despite having an emergency job that temporarily closed the store for an hour, Ash went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. When I returned to make a key copy, he surprised me by not charging me for the service. This level of customer appreciation is truly rare and remarkable. Ash, you’ve earned a customer for life! It got my dream what if every owner and staff have that kind of service?

Had the privilege of working with Ash at Advance Lock & Key. It was my first time in the store and meeting Ash, he treated me like family. I could not recommend this location more for all lock & key needs. When I was having issues installing my new deadbolt I called up the store, Ash gave me his personal phone number and walked me through my issues with extreme respect and understanding. Supporting a small business like this is easy when they are the best.

Ash is a fantastic person. Today I had a situation where I was locked out of my father in laws house. When I went to the store for help Ash at first said he couldn’t come because he was the only one at the store today. With in a minute he changed his answer and closed the store to come help me. Not only is Ash a wonderful person he knows his locksmith trade, he had me in the house with in minutes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ plus. Can’t thank him enough

Called regarding changing the locks on my house, expected average service, however Ash went above and beyond, exceeding my expectations! I was impressed by how fast and affordable the service was (received pricing before any service). Other reviews state high levels of professionalism, integrity, and helpfulness to which I whole heartedly agree. Overall, excellent job! Will definitely use Advance Lock and Key again. Thanks a lot!

From the initial phone call to Tom (who was so understanding and friendly) to the finish line of the job delivered with Ash was an amazing experience. They are the masters of their profession. I needed a lock removed and replaced immediately at our business and it was delivered and taken care of within an hour or so of my call. I call that exceptional service. Ash was professional and friendly. Highly recommend these guys.

I bought a jeep with only 1 key. Called the local jeep dealer put on hold and transferred to voicemail. Remembered that locksmiths can do keys. Only locksmith I used and will ever use Advance. I called, 10 minutes later I was there, five minutes later I had my programed key. Most pleasant experience. Ash was extremely professional courteous helpful. I would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you advance lock and key.

Excellent service and fast,at my house in a half an hour. I have an old security door which is not easy to get through. What about a half an hour after he got there I was in my house. Thank you Ash. I'll definitely call them again when needed. I also got my truck keys with chip from them. And everything is very reasonably priced. They do believe in good service. Definitely recommendation from me. Thank you again.

I called this company because I felt that my very old lock was not functioning correctly, and I requested a new lock. Ash arrived promptly and was professional. He took a look at my lock and showed me that my old lock was still good, and that I didn't need his new lock. He told me how to take care of it. He told me the truth and left without any money from me. Morality and business still mix at this company.

Ash was amazing! He changed two sets of locks in under a half hour. He was on time, personable, and the quality of product was great! He also did work on my parents' doors and the quality of locks are sturdy and have lasted for years. Price is right, great quality, and even better service. Look no further than Advance! They've been in business for so long and there is a reason for that. Thanks again, Ash!

Went in wondering how much money I’d have to spend due to my primary key having water damage and backup key with broken buttons. Ash greeted me and was an extremely personable and hard working guy.He worked through all the issues and fixed them within 10 minutes and was very affordable. I have the utmost respect for him and would highly recommend to come here with any key needs. Ash is the man!!

Recently bought a new home and needed 7 locks to have one key for convenience. Ash was very professional and treated me as if i were family. The complete job was done in a matter of minutes and he was nice enough to walk the boxes to my car. I highly recommend using this business for any of your locksmith needs. They even have an adorable selection of unique keys as shown in my picture

Ash was professional throughout the entire process. Was straightforward with pricing and reasonable. Ash is knowledgeable and able to determine what best fits your needs. We had to change all of the locks in our new home since the previous owner gave us keys that didn’t work. Ash changed everything in a more than timely manner. Definitely will recommend to anyone I know and use again!

Ash is such a great guy. Was super honest about a key fob I had purchased on eBay and did the right thing by setting me up with one he had in stock in the store. He even let my daughter choose a key she wanted for the house lock and gave it to her for free. Wonderful person, awesome business ethic. Will definitely be dealing with him whenever I need keys etc.. 5 stars all the way.

What a find! Five stars across the board. As a walk in - you never know what type of service you may get. Ash was not only professional and pleasure to speak with - but notably fast. He made programming my fob quick and painless. There is no doubt in my mind that Advance Lock & Key has gained a return customer and will be highly recommended to friends & family. Thanks again Ash!

Advance Lock & Key, has a very Knowledgeable group of men inside their Hylan Blvd location and the Locksmith ASH was a true gentleman and scholar who took his time explaining one Deadbolt lock over the other, & ultimately left the choice up to me. It was a pleasure doing business with ADVANCE LOCK and KEY. Thank you guys, especially your guy & now my guy Ash Wechsler.

My son is a student at a local college. He lost the key to his car. Tom and Ash helped him get a new key. Customer service is top-notched. They go above and beyond to meet the needs of the customer. They are knowledgeable, responsive, hard-working, trustworthy and reasonably priced. They don't make business owners like this anymore. Tom and Ash get all the stars!

Ash is such a professional in his trade & down to earth person when he presents his service. He's from the old school - providing exceptional master level customer service along with his own personal flair. It's refreshing to know someone exists in a trade whose so approachable in a subject where most consumers are lost in. For all key & lock use - GO TO ASH!!

Ash is the man!! He fixed my key fobs and I am very happy! I am new to the area and every place I went to and called (including my Honda dealership), they were not as professional and helpful as him. I will definitely recommend him to anyone . He was very nice and gave off good energy from the start! Thank you so much Ash! Appreciate all of your help.

First time in the shop. Ash helped me out and he was friendly and helpful. I had to get new car keys programed and cut and he was able to get me back home fast. I came in close to closing time and he was nice enough to stay open to make sure I got everything I needed. Local Hardware store told me to come here and am glad I did.

We just bought a new house and Advance Lock was incredible while changing the house and gate locks. Ash Wechsler is an amazing locksmith. Our fence gates had specialized locks on them and he was able to manually create new keys. His craftsmanship is unprecedented. I would highly recommend. Honest and reasonably priced!!

I just moved to the neighborhood & needed some help with my front door lock & deadbolt so I called & the owner actually took the time to walk me thru step by step on fixing the issues I was having, I stopped into the store to thank him in person & he’s one of the nicest guys I’ve ever dealt with in any type business

Super nice made sure the bolt was working before he left- and i know if i have any other lock issues hes the one i will call -

Best lock Smith period. Had a damaged broken in half car key for my Toyota. Dealer was charging me $300 for a new programmed key. Came here got a new key and a spare with the chip for less then half that. Mind Blown. 2 keys for less then the price of one. Ask for Ash and you won't be disappointed.

Ash helped my father finally fix his jeeps alarm issues. He was incredibly quick and inexpensive. The dealer wanted to charge him double and would have kept the car for the day. Ash was half the cost and took five minutes. Go here before going to the dealer. Save time and money and the headache.

I called Ash today to have a lock changed at my store. He was very professional and polite. He showed up exactly when he said he would and quickly changed the lock. He answered a bunch of questions I had about another door and helped me with a latch. I would highly recommend his service.
