Absolutely the best locksmith company in calgary. We have this company look after our four apartment buildings. They know their work and who is responsible for what. I recommend this experienced company for their knowledge and integrity. It’s a comfort to have a knowledgeable company take care of issues that arise. Recommend Aboe 100%

Aaron Wyman

I have used Aboe here and there for probably 30 years. They have always been great. My business has staff who sometimes have a habit of locking themselves out or even losing a key. Aboe either gets us in or deals with a re-key issue. Highly Recommend! Aaron

Stephen Hume

Great service and was very helpful for finding alternative company to help as well. These guys are so helpful

Ryan Gregory

The door on my apartment had broke so I could not get in. Called and it was after hours they were very prompt and quick getting to my place and the job took maybe 10-15 min in total. The technician was very polite and courteous price was very reasonable and will call in the future if needed!!!

Darrell’s Kross

Got to know ABOE through my supervisor. Good customer service and quick service.

Daniela Williams

You will never need to call anyone else! They are the awesome!

Rob Parkhill

Fast (within the hour) emergency service at a reasonable price.

Jacob Adly

An honest and upfront company that does things the right way. I've had extremely poor experience with locksmiths found online before finding Aboe. They will do the job correctly, and quote you a reasonable price. Very trustworthy.

Franco Lee

Good place to get keys.

Neither Canadian Tire, nor Home Depot had the key I needed. Aboe got it done in less than 5 minutes.

Marlene Mellow

These guys were phenomenal. They came out quickly to deal with a break in and gave us wonderful advice about what we should do to protect our property. They were very honest and gave us all the alternatives. I would recommend them highly to anyone who needs a locksmith. I wouldn't go to anyone else. Thanks Rob and ABOE.

D.A.J.

Excellent,really quick and helpful. Caution though - parking is in the back and the Alley is really nasty. Suggest parking elsewhere. Great selection of fun style keys for cutting.

P Witt

No after hours service! Not sure why they advertise it and don't offer it. False advertising! Fake company .. do not use!

Nathalie Bleau

I called Aboe on a Tuesday at 4pm because of an issue with our door lock. I explained my situation and we went ahead and booked an appointment for the following morning. Then I changed my mind and asked if someone could come on the same day. Luckily someone was able to make it out and he arrived about 90 mins after my phone call. We appreciate the quick turnaround on such short notice. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could! We are extremely happy with the service we received from Aboe! Thanks much!

Chao Wang

I went here for keys multiple times now, always a great experience with Wade. Great price and quick service

Miles Løng

I called ABOE Lockworks for assistance on replacing my mailbox key, was greeted with Stéphane at my residence where he did everything in such a timely manner and with an absolute professional attitude. Couldn't be happier! Definitely would recommend.

Chaz

These guys are Great. Great service... Great prices (totally could've charged me double and I wouldn't have thought it overpriced.

George Daly

You get served quickly. They know locks.

caleb mueller

Half the price of the dealership if you need a transponder key. They don't offer remote keys and programming (need the dealer for that) but if you buy a remote key off amazon they'll cut it for you then you might be able to program it yourself depending on the car. Friendly service.

Lamat Mulac

This locksmith has a location where you can buy items you need from lock boxes to making a copy for you keys, the service was great. Location is great.

Billie Schultz

Last week I locked myself out of my car and apartment in one swift action. Luckily Aboe had someone out to me within a half an hour to get my keys out of my trunk and had me on my way.

Ayin Solomon

They were able to cut my condo key immediately and the price was very, very reasonable.

Garrett Hoeksema

They fixed the lock on my truck and it was convenient to leave my vehicle there for the day as I went to work.

Adonica Salter

I had a broken key for an old Astro Van that I needed to replace. I snapped the key off from the plastic head part from trying to jiggle it in the ignition. I brought the pieces in to have it duplicated but it was really worn down from being so old that the new key wouldn't turn over in the ignition. I bought it back to ABOE and instead of copying from the old key they cut a brand new key from a manufacturer code. I was amazed at the new key because it looked so much more intricate that my old worn down one. The new key worked like a charm and turned over in the ignition right away. Its amazing that the new key is so much better because I also don't need to jiggle to get it to work anymore. Solved 2 problems with 1 new key! Highly recommend.

Tina N Petersen

I have used this company for over 20 years. All of their staff are always punctual, respectful, responsive and honest. They never try to upsell me - they just do as I ask & make recommendations for improvements,i necessary. I really appreciate companies like Aboe with ethics & morals. Thank you for Gentleman!

Nicole C

Prompt service and a decent job that went beyond my expectations. Jay was our locksmith and he was friendly, professional, and got the job done correctly.

Peter Tran

I messed up a smart lock and needed it reset. I was worried this would cost me an arm and a leg, well ABOE got me back and running in just a few minutes and charged me a very fair price. Definitely going to use these guys for any future lock work. Plus they have an iconic front sign, its awesome.

Cale Bouscal

Staff on phone were unhelpful and showed little concern for my time. Were not here until well after the end of the window and made no effort to contact me and let me know. Call in for an update and was on hold for a couple minutes. Called back and reported the problem, was put on hold for the owners son. And waited. And waited. Poor job. Edit - also received an obnoxious comment via their chat interface after the fact. Mr. Reid Olson, clearly interested in regaining my confidence, was irritated to find I hadn't dropped all of my afternoon plans to hastily post an update that the service was done for free. Given that the delay cost me significantly more than what was saved with this generous gift, I think Reid should probably stick to whatever it is he does best.

Symon Neigel

My key broke off in my Ignition, I saw Jeremy at a stop light and I waved him down. He was eager to give me a hand, unfortunately he did not have the proper extraction tool. He gave me a recommendation nearby where to go. Jeremy was a great representative of this company. And when I change my locks at my residence I wil be calling ABOE.

Leader OfThePacks

I lost my keys for my Thule storage unit and the guys were very helpful getting it re-keyed for me! I found their prices reasonable and the customer service was great.

Glen Cytocis

Every time I bring ABOE some random old odd-ball key for duplication, I completely expect them to be stumped. Instead, they just grab the blank from their huge assortment, cut it on the spot, & send me on my way having paid with only pocket change.

Irene Clery (Misty88)

Quick service.

Rob

I had an issue with one of our locks. Wade patiently walked me through the issue . Lock works fine now. Going forward I'll be sure to use Aboe lockworks.

Kerry McKay

Always quick and professional.

L Aurini

They took an old, worn-down key for my car and cut me a new one with the original ridges on it. IT WORKS BETTER THE THE KEY THEY BASED IT OFF OF. Absolute professionals, I'm going to them for all my future key and lock problems.

Chapter1 Concierge

Provided prompt service and follow up call service for our business location and their prices are reasonable too. I recommend them highly for residential and commercial services.

Ayla Lo

Great service! Super quick and the guy that helped me was able to get both of the keys for my motorcycle cut without any issue. Will definitely come back again for any keys that I need.

Patrick Spencer

Very good experience. They had the parts I needed and helped me on the spot. Also covid safe. They are trying very hard.

Michael Algra

Not that friendly on the phone but super helpful and knowledgeable in person. They completed a job for only $10 when the next closest quote was $40+. Highly recommend.

Christine Bennett

Our brand new door has brand new locks thanks to Aboe. The locksmith was friendly, very knowledgeable and cleaned up after his work was done. It was a very pleasant and painless experience. The door installation took a little longer than planned and I was very glad that the locksmith was able to come back a little later.

Douglas B. Legere

Need keys or locks and more. Been around forever and they know their stuff.

Tue Ta

Always a pleasure dealing with these gentlemen very fair pricing had never have any complains

Sean McKinsley

Friendly and professional. Always cut the keys properly. Recommend their service

Tim Rosenquist

For years this has been my go to place for any key copies. Motorcycle, car, RV, they have it and cut it right the first time.

When I’ve exhausted all other options these guys usually have what I need.

Nole E

I went in to drop off a resume and buy a practice lock,Wade behind the counter helpfully suggested I buy two,since I'll probably break one,needless to say he was correct. Very helpful staff,and you can tell the people here enjoy what they do,so you wont be fed any b.s.

Nathaniel Sterzik

Aboe lockworks has always been responsive, helpful and professional with the work that they have done for us. We love the solutions that they provide for us and they are always on budget! Bravo.

Paula Pearce-Sarvucci

Thank you for being so fast and professional. I am so happy I found Aboe Lockworks because they wont over charge and they are so nice. Rob Harlow Lawremce was the locksmith who came out and he was excellent. Thanks from Vape World Centre street.

rosario talarico

Great service....when they cut you a key...when you need to use it...it actually opens the lock!!

DAVID STUART ALEXANDER MACKIE

The only place that I was able to find in Cowtown, that could copy a unique Key that is for a boat trailer hitch lock. All good here. Family run Business in an old house. DSAM.

Bradley N.

Excellent customer service. Locks were installed in a timely manner.

Vivian Nickel

Great staff. Very knowledgeable and great to deal with.

Jason Betts

The rates were lower and the response time was much faster than any other place I called. They gave me an estimated response time and stuck to it, as opposed to the original locksmith I called who pushed their response estimate multiple times over the course of the morning. The technician was friendly and there was no damage to my vehicle. It was unlocked within minutes. Definitely calling them again if I lock myself out again.

I drive an older toyota that predates a lot of electronic features in cars. I've had issues with the keys because toyota makes them long and skinny which means they're prone to breaking off in the lock/ignition. I always buy toyotas, so I've had these issues chronically in the past. This last time, I've had to go through 4 key makers to get a good key and the people that did it were ABOE lockworks. Plus, they extracted the key from my trunk in 5 mins for twice that many dollars... when the guy on the phone who was recommended by one of the internet locksmiths wanted $150. ABOE is good and they do quality work, at least that is the experience I am walking away with today. Thanks ABOE.

John McCall

The tech at ABOE rekeyed a deadbolt for me while I waited. For a very reasonable cost.

james udsen

Had trouble installing new exterior door hardware set due to overestimated my ability given my handicap. Phoned ABOE and they came same day and did a wonderful job efficient and excellent work.

Randy Gwilt

Been using there services for years

S Kovalenko

I had a broken key stuck in my Thule car-top cargo box. They fished it out in no time, and cut me new replacement keys for less than Thule charges. Excellent pricing and service.

Jonathan Balkwill

Fast, quality service. Had just what I was looking for. Would recommend to others.

Dylan Watson

Saved me hundreds compared to a dealer. These guys know what they're doing! Managed to rebuild a key from one that has no business being in use anymore, could barely call the old key a key and they still got it working, for an awesome price too.

Gabe

Terrific service and expertise! I deal with quite uncommon locks and after having Canadian Tire cut keys that didn’t fit properly and/or break off in the lock, I headed over to ABOE. My only regret is not coming here first! They cut the keys at a reasonable price and the quality is even better than the original. Thank you Steve for the excellent help!

Michal

Great service.

Don Mawdsley

They cut keys for a 1928 Ford door lock in a matter of minutes at a very reasonable price. Outstanding! DM

Karen Halliday

I needed a deadbolt replaced and rekeyed. The technician called me when he arrived and was very friendly and efficient while he did his work. The door now works better than ever, and I was quite happy with their service. I also thought their prices were reasonable.

Stephen Laverty

Wish i could give a rating. No where to park with my trailer!

Moustafa Said

Very professional and great service.

Chris Boese (CB)

Fast, cheep and professional. Need I say more.

nico b

Received excellent service from Chris at ABOE this week. He changed multiple locks for me and was super knowledgeable, professional, efficient, tidy, respectful, and genuinely a nice guy. Great prices as well when compared to other competitors in the area. Will definitely consider using ABOE in the future.

Tracye Jorgensen

I had the unfortunate experience in -40 degree weather to have the mechanism that opens your door snap and lock me out of my house. Lucky for me - ABOE Locksmith sent JAY out within the hour and he was able to install new hardware for me immediately. From my initial call where I connected with their Emergency on call guy (KEL) to JAY - both were extremely professional, friendly and courteous to me. I would definitely use ABOE Lockworks going forward.

David Swinton

Excellent Pricing, Very Experienced..

Danny Mah

The staff was friendly and they do good work.

Keith

We had tremendous service that was prompt, efficient and great value. I would highly recommend them.

Merlin

OMG, Aboe are amazing. They came within 30 minutes of calling, re-keyed three locks, fixed the front door that sticks when closing, and cleaned all the oil out of one of the locks. Super fast and very professional service. Will definitely use these folks again.

Wade Olson

Please take note the hours on this are not right The correct hours are: Monday- Friday 8:30-5:00

I have had not one but two phenomenal experiences with ABOE. I had a side lock that I needed to be repaired... tried doing it myself and failed due to the nature of the parts that I was using. An ABOE member actually showed me what I had done wrong and told me to get the part and try it again... and even told me not to pay him as he didn't do any work (actually!) Long and short of it, I didn't have the patience to do it myself/was so impressed by the service, I called ABOE to replace the lock in the end, and Rob came by. He was phenomenally friendly, courteous, wore a mask the entire time, and just a through and through professional. Booking was also VERY easy and were able to get me in on short notice. Thanks Rob - you are great at your job.

Connor Gelinas

Great service with competitive pricing. I had a large quantity of residential locks re keyed and new keys cut. All work as they should, were finished in an hour, and was half the price of other quotes I received.

Cellina Buzzell

Very quick and very friendly!! Will definitely be going back here if I need to ????

rayden nash

You want honesty and actual truth go here. They know their stuff are extremely worth the money and the time. I have been an on going customer for years
