Great fast service. Easy location. Thanks

Darren Watson

The team at Ability Lock and Safe is excellent. They were very courteous from the first call until the completion of my job and the price quoted was accurate and very competitive. I would have no problem referring family, friends or colleagues to this business, knowing they are in very capable hands with their experience. Thanks guys.

I manage several large facilities in Calgary and use Ability for all of them. Their customer service is next to none and the technicians are professional and knowledgeable. They are quick to respond to requests and have always provided quality work.

These guys need driving lessons. One of their Van's was tailgating everyone leaving the Industrial park today, cutting off people with complete disregard for the safety of other drivers.

Odom Vichet

Went in today to get 2 car keys cut, one of them works perfectly the other one didn't even go in. It was approaching closing time so I understand when Wayne told me to come back later to get it corrected . I didn't get a receipt so I sure hope he won't forget me. The price is pretty fair if he can get it to work. Left the key with him to sort things out will update this next week after pick up my corrected key

Helpful knowledgeable staff.

avi bhambra

Excellent shop, super professional and quick. I've had multiple keys cut from them. Even when I brought in a key I had bought online, they explained the difference in RFID chip and why it couldn't be cloned. On top of that they still cut the physical key so I'd have a spare at least to unlock my SUV. Highly recommended !

matt moriss

Receptionist here at Traugott Building Contractors. The service we receive is always fast, efficient and reliable. Special thanks to Kevin at Ability.

Cam Monk

Quick service, keys cut in front of you.

Leah Climan

They state that no job is too big or too small, but they refused me service on a residential request. So clearly there are jobs that are too small to be worth their time.

Kat Ferris

Paul and the gang at Ability Lock have been keeping our business secure for over 30 years . I feel totally secure with their monitoring service and they always respond within minutes to any lock issues . Mike @ B&F Auto Electric

Mario Bradbury

Expensive and had to rebook our building lock change 3 times. Kept getting a call saying they had to come tomorrow. Too bad, they used to be great.

Mike Jones

Very helpful.

Andrew McAllister

I was excited to find a locksmith that could cut a spare key for my honda motorcycle. I even had a factory blank I got from Honda. When I get there, they said no problem to the cut. As he comes back, he tells me that the metal started to flake and he cut it deeper than the original. Not sure how that happens when I had a Honda original and a Honda blank. So the cut got messed up... still paid full price. Wish they would have said something sooner, but they seemed confident they could cut the key. What gives them three stars is when I talked to the locksmith about if he knew another place that could cut it better, he gave me the name of someone. The locksmith was polite too.

Oboken Palli

Great company. Prompt service, if you need a door guy... ask for doug!!!!! Hes absolutely amazing. Abilities crew are fantastic for all non door related tasks also!

Lorraine Hill

Good company, great staff.

Jo-Ann Scott-Noye

I had to bring my husband truck cap that he bought second hand to get a key made (because no one ever has a key when they sell these things). Eric (and another guy whose name I did not catch) helped me out. Eric put in a LOT of work to get this key made and it was successful! Normally, I hate dealing with vehicle repairs or trades as all too often I get spoken to as though I am a stupid women who knows nothing. Both Eric and the other guy were very respectful and polite. Neither ever spoke to me as a 'woman who has no clue' but rather as a 'customer'. Thank you! I would highly recommend them.

lawrence brunton

I have always worked with A-Ability when running businesses in the NE/SE. Drove all the way there today to get some keys cut. After waiting 5 minuets while two staff members finished their conversation the gentleman took one look at my key and said "we cant cut this key". He then went on to say the key was only available from "always affordable locksmiths". Disappointed, I traveled 20 min to "always affordable locksmiths". When I asked if it was a special blank the man at "always affordable locksmiths" said, no "its just a standard Weiser blank" and proceeded to show me. Not absolutely sure what the truth is but if the Ability staff member taken a second to look at the blanks he had, I would feel a lot more generous. I am very disappointed.

Jason M

Really professional and did an amazing job on my front and rear door deadbolt install. Only minor complaint is I found it a bit pricey, however like I stated the work done was top notch.

We've worked with Ability Lock and Safe for many years and they are by far the best Lock Smith company in Calgary. They are easy to work with and are knowledgeable in all areas of their trade. Whether it is a large job or small, they will always treat you fair and ensure you are taken care of. As a property management company we rely on our trades to perform quality work in a timely fashion. Ability will always exceed your expectations.

To the person who requested the residential job we can only do so many jobs in a day, We are sorry we couldn't make that day but we have been extremely busy with the cold weather and short staffed. Again we are sorry for not being able to help you

mike pfleger

Ok place decent prices

Leslie Navarro

These guys are the most expensive that I called. $325 for a key. Crazy. Also don't seem to have any interest in doing the work IMO.

Ashton Brooker

Had a couple keys cut for our locks at work! Quick, professional and super friendly! Also cheaper than home depot! Highly recommend!

J S

Victor was the locksmith that came in to replace a handle and also re key our doors. He was a very nice guy and very efficient with his work. had a good chat with him and very personable guy. Even has a key tattoo which he said he got cuz he loves his job! Overall a great experience and Victor made it even better Thanks again JDMSource

Lee Jensen

Great staff. Great service.

Vicky B

Wonderful, quick and honest to boot! I had to have another gsxr key cut, 2 different motorcycle shops told me the key needed to be programmed after it was cut and that would cost me anywhere from $60-$200 depending where you go. Not only did he cut my key for $2 yes that's right $2 he checked and what do ya say it didn't need programming! I got home I put the key in the bike and hallelujah he was right! Started up no problem!! Thank you for your honesty I will ABSOLUTELY be back!

david fehr

90 dollars to cut a key that you would still have to take to someone else to program overpriced.

VC 1315

I was having issues with the lock covering my gas tank. I drove to Ability for their assistance. I was helped by Eric who was awesome. He solved my very minor issue and helped me with new keys. While I was there numerous people arrived and all were helped by very friendly and professional staff. Definitely would recommend!!!
