Excellent professional service and a very quick response time. Great job.

I called A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. this morning, & they were out within an hour to open a door for me. Matt was professional & got the job done quickly. Thanks for your help!
– Jessica B.
They did a great job installing sliding deadbolts to keep our kids safe!
– Anna G.
Did a fantastic job in a very timely manner. Very much appreciated.
– Lane D.
Top-notch service. The locksmith was here within an hour and was the nicest guy I’ve met in a long time. He was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient, and he solved my issue right away. He explained what had gone wrong and made good suggestions as to how to prevent it in the future.
– Charlotte B.
Super professionalism and great people! They came super fast to unlock my car and helped me, despite not having money at the time. The business is run by very kind and considerate people.
– Kaylen M.
A great company providing excellent service on time at the right price. Matt came to our office and replaced all the locks in less than 3 hours. Super professional and kind. Highly recommended.
– Vladimir N.
Excellent response time. We had a bank front door lock that was broken, and staff could not get in to open the bank. A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. reacted to the emergency and got the branch door open. While I was working to get A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. to the site immediately, I offered them double time pay to make the bank a priority project. Their response was that is not how we work; we will go there immediately, but we will not accept extra money for the emergency call. Great company, great ethics. Well done.
– William C.
We are so grateful to Allen Odom and Marianne for being able to open our safe after some young burglars had made this impossible… it took two days and over 20 drill bits (turns out we have a robust safe!) but they were not to be denied! Even Gene got in on the action!
– Pattiy T.
So glad I went here to get my fire extinguishers recertified. They were awesome! William treated me like a best friend the moment I met him outside the shop. He and an associate immediately asked what they could do for me, got right to work certifying my extinguishers, then asked if I’d like my coffee mug topped off inside while they finished up. One step further, I had a trailer hitch receiver lock that needed to come off without a key, and they sawed it off in a matter of moments at no charge! They aren’t the closest locksmith to me, but I will definitely go the extra distance to come back. And by the way, they are at the very end of the storage center, and if you blink, you could miss it. Word of advice – don’t blink.
– Clive E.
Excellent locksmith company. From the minute the owner picked up my phone call, I was treated with fantastic service. Dependable. Affordable and kind/caring. This company takes locks seriously to get your home secure ASAP. Thanks & shout out to William our tech. Tremendous effort.
– Kate H.
Called A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. this morning to assist with a lockout in our office space. As always, they were professional, responsive and the best locksmith that we’ve worked with. Love everything about A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc.
– Krista
I needed a replacement key made for my 2006 Lexus, and they took good care of me. I was in and out in about ten minutes. I stopped by their store on Sweeten Creek Road (only a few minutes from Biltmore Village) and saved myself a ton of money while getting excellent service. Some other locksmiths are mobile only, so you pay a service call fee for them to come to you. If you can go to A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc.’s retail location; there are no service call fees. Thus, my Lexus key was around $100 less than at a Lexus dealer and almost exactly half the price I was quoted at another local locksmith with mobile service. And everyone there was extremely nice.
– John G.
We had a large gun safe and a very tight schedule for the sale of our house. I called Gene at A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. and told him it was going to be a difficult removal and an even more difficult reinstall at our new house about 150 miles away. Gene came to the house, and also looked at a video of the new house, and said they could do it, and on short notice, they got it done. They were extremely careful, professional and great to work with. Gene even texted me later to see if my wife was happy with the job. She was very pleased.
– Rob G.
Very pleased with the service and keys (valet and programmed key for car)! Technician making keys was very efficient and knowledgeable. Staff were welcoming and work was done quickly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for locksmith services!!
– Renee W.
Just had to have A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. come out to unlock a 2005 Ford Explorer. Service was fast and inexpensive. Tech was super kind and knowledgeable. Will definitely use them again!
– Mitchell F.
I could not find even one locksmith in Yancey County, so I bit the bullet and drove to Asheville with my cousin to get a gun case unlocked. That turned out to be easier than driving back to Texas to get the key for the two locks. We were impressed by Neville’s ability to get it open for us and provide suitable temporary locks. It was well worth the drive and gratifying watching a person work who loves what he does for a living.
– Tonie T.
The staff of A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. responded to me in my desperate need for help while visiting Biltmore recently. They immediately came to unlock my car so my daughter and I would not freeze to death. The gentleman was so nice and knew what he was doing. Thanks so much!
– Lisa Y.
The lock on my front door broke, leaving me unable to secure my house. I’d also been putting off installing a dead bolt as well. I didn’t know which company to call, so I tried a list of several locksmiths I found on the internet, but no one was willing to come the same day. Gene at A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. took my call first thing the next morning and promised and delivered getting one of his techs to my house that afternoon, so I wouldn’t be left again with an unlocked door overnight. The techs were very professional in their installation and completely cleaned up the wood shavings and associated mess with having to drill and cut into my door. And the price ended up being a few dollars less than the estimate quoted on the phone when I first called. I will definitely be using A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. for all my lock and security needs in the future. Thank you for such excellent and professional service!
– L R.
Great locksmith! We bought a safe, and Gene was very helpful with finding the right location. While there, he took care of our front door lock. Also, we scheduled to have all locks keyed the same .
Thank you!
– David T.
I’ve been dealing with A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. for a lot of years with different places that I’ve worked with; they’ve always been excellent with competitive prices.
-James T.
We needed a locksmith to unlock two locks on a case. These folks were great, personable and professional. And a special shout out to Neville, who was great to work with. He saved the day.
-Doug T.
I called A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. this morning & they were out within an hour to open a door for me. Matt was professional & got the job done quickly. Thanks for your help!
– Jessica O.
Gene and crew were diligent in getting our key and lock issues resolved. They are kind and courteous and make sure all is good before they leave the property.
– Melani B.
Very affordable and honest service, I felt like they were sure to get me what I needed rather than just what would have made them the most profit. Knowledgeable, too, on both home security as well as auto locks and keys
– Jason Y.
Although he was unable to help, he went out of his way to refer me to someone who could. Excellent customer support.
– Sabrina S.
With rentals, we need locks rekeyed on a regular basis. These guys get it right the first time. Stocking an incredible amount of keys, they have what you need. Glad to have found them.
– Scott M.
5-star service and products! Had a lost key get made from scratch! Highly recommended!
– Michael S.
The knob lock on my front door broke and the techs replaced it and added a deadbolt as well. The manager at A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. managed to squeeze me in on the same day I phoned so I didn’t have to leave my house unsecured with a broken lock for another night. The techs very courteously phoned to say they were on the way. They worked very efficiently and did a great job on the install as well as cleaning up the mess from the wood door cutting and drilling. They also didn’t try to sell me more than I needed. The final cost even came in a few dollars under the estimate. Very professional and courteous company. I will use them again!
– Anonymous
Emergency lockout assistance at my house. Judd arrived quickly at a very late hour, provided the most cost-effective approach to rectify my emergency problem and also provided great additional suggestions. Would highly recommend their service.
– Anonymous
Reinforced my daughter’s apartment after an attempted break-in. Professional, and responded immediately to my frantic call. We are greatly appreciative.
– Mary Anne B.
Gene was incredible! He helped us pick the perfect floor safe and delivered it to our home. He even helped dig the hole to install it. His price was very competitive too! The safe was just as described. I highly recommend A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc.
– Ruth R.
Having had many experiences doing business with Gene and Diane Riddle and the folks at A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc., I can say, without reservation, that they are absolute professionals and totally devoted to serving their customers. They are honorable and fair in every aspect of their business. You need not worry about their work being done properly, and you need not “shop around.” They are simply the best. They provide service beyond compare, and their services are fairly priced — without negotiation. I cannot recommend these wonderful folks more highly.
-Harold S.
This is a very reliable business. The tech (Will) who did my install was very polite, knowledgeable and quick. The pricing was very reasonable and fair. He delivered an excellent customer experience, and I recommend A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. to anyone.
– Brian M.
We were locked out of our condo on a weekend and had a hard time reaching any locksmith. A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. not only answered the phone, but made an extra effort to help us out when they realized we were locked out of our home. Neal came within 15 minutes, and he was great. We would highly recommend them.
– Larry L.
Fixed two door handles at my business. From first call to fix was less than 2 hours. Oh yeah!
– Justin F.
After two other companies were unable to move my safe because of its weight, Gene picked it up and moved it 200 miles with ease. They were there on time and got the job done properly. A very pleasant experience.
– Tom F.
A great team of technicians! Courteous, efficient, professional. Scheduled all jobs quickly and offer a wide selection of lock systems for home or business.
– Michelle K.
I’m new to Asheville and needed a large object delivered. They came out quickly to scope out the job, picked up the purchase at the store, and installed on time with no damage to house or purchase. Top-notch service. I’d highly recommend them.
– Mike V.
I’ve been doing business with them for years. Great establishment and very knowledgeable! Brought a doorknob in that had a broken latch, and they gave me a latch that they had hanging around for free. Very appreciative! Thanks, A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc.!!
– Martha R.
Great experience! Will came out promptly. He was friendly and got the job done. I appreciate good service. I would highly recommend.
– Heather D.
Got a key for my ‘99 Buick Park Avenue. The service was so quick, and the young man who helped me was so friendly!
– Chelsea W.
Needed to have a couple of replacement key fobs reprogrammed for my 2013 Chevy Silverado. Ace Hardware on Merrimon Avenue (where I usually get keys cut) recommended going to A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. since Ace wasn’t able to program the newer fobs, and I’m really glad they sent me here. I called and they were able to do the reprogramming right away. What they charged me was less than half of what the ACDelco and GM dealers were going to charge, and he did a second fob for a reduced fee. They were quick, efficient, friendly, and reasonably priced. Absolutely would go to these guys again — highly recommended!
– Matthew V.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Enjoyed talking to owner. First place that had everything I needed.
– David J.
First of all, I want to say thank you for the outstanding work. I locked my keys in my car . . . what a way to start off a day, but I want to be the first to tell you how prompt they got there. Will is an outstanding locksmith– he got into my car so fast. He is a true gentleman– he let me sit in his van so I wasn’t cold. It was a true turnaround in my day! If it didn’t cost so much money, I would lock my keys in my car more often!
– Amber F.
A technician, William, came out and did a very professional job of installing some new locks. Very polite, competent, and thorough in his job. Thanks again.
– J. C. B.
My experience with this company was great. I was locked out of my car. They came in a timely manner and called before they arrived just like they said they would. Thanks so much.
– Sarah G.
I can’t say enough good things about these guys! The gentleman who took my call was so helpful and nice. Within not even 10 minutes, a man named Will showed up and jumped on it. He had my door popped open so quick! I never knew it could be done that fast! Will had such a positive attitude and didn’t make me feel awkward and stupid for locking my keys in my car. These guys are freaking awesome and get the job done quick and right! As long as I live here, I won’t use anyone else. I will definitely be recommending them to all of my friends. Y’all rock!
– Kay I.
Was very professional and knew just how to remove my gun safe without hurting any of my doors or carpet. I would use them again. Thank you, guys.
– Patricia L.
We have used A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. for years through my company whenever our technicians lock their keys in their work vehicles or when we need to change door locks for security reasons. They understand we operate a business and can generally get to us quickly and at a fair rate. They even returned money when one of their techs accidentally miscalculated the invoice, which I think speaks volumes about the company since we did not know we overpaid.
– Jada R.
Purchased a beautiful safe form A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. The customer service and price were great. They made the installation look like a walk in the park. Thank you!!
– Charlie G.
I highly recommend A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. They are true professionals, courteous, on-time and deliver quality service and products. I was very pleased, and I am sure you will be.
– Jamie K.
I recently purchased a large safe from A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. From the first telephone call to inquire about products to final delivery, it was truly an outstanding experience. Even though I live an hour from the store location, Gene and Diane came to my home to ensure they understood the placement so they could quote me an accurate delivery cost and have the necessary staff at delivery. There was no charge for this visit. When they delivered the safe, they took all the necessary time to ensure that the safe was placed where I wanted it and secured properly. There was no rush to do so throughout the process and no damage to my new home. It was amazing with a safe weighing over 1,800 pounds! Gene and his team were truly awesome and total professionals! This was an experience that exceeded all of my expectations! I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a safe to Gene and Diane at A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc.! Thank you all for a wonderful experience!
– CC
Staff always comes out within a reasonable amount of time, and they are always very nice!!
– Haywood Village
Friendly and very knowledgeable service for less than what I expected to pay. Do not hesitate to visit the shop or call for onsite service.
– Nancy
It’s easy to give 5 stars when a locksmith saves you from a bad situation, but A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. went above and beyond! It was 20 degrees out and my Yakima roof storage unit had to be unlocked from both sides (while on top of my 6-foot-tall SUV), yet the locksmith was friendly, fast and careful while helping me get into the Yakima! These guys are professionals!
– Cotton F.
A safe has been on my to-do list for a few years, but I couldn’t make it happen. Visited with Gene at his shop recently and found a safe I liked. Gene was very pleasant to deal with and provided me with both an education on the important features of safes, as well as a very competitive price. Arrangements for delivery and installation were quickly made, and I now have a new safe at my home. Could not be more pleased with the entire experience. Would buy from Gene again and recommend him to anyone. If you’re in the market for a safe, you owe it to yourself to stop by and talk with him.
– Mike W.
I had such an off scheduled morning due to all the rain and flooding. I was late to work because my son’s daycare did not open until 8:30 a.m. and I was 3 hours late for work. Then I had nowhere to park but at the bottom of the hill, and I had taken my keys out of my ignition and had put them down in my seat of the car to attach my badge to my uniform and made sure I had all that I needed for work and got out with a handful of stuff. I was unorganized and in panic mode, and I jumped out of the car and headed upstairs and suddenly forgot my keys were in the car. I had tried to get in my car and could not. I prayed to God for help, and when I looked up locksmiths near me, A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. came up first, and when I called, they made my day better and helped me with my situation. They were very kind to have listened to what my morning consisted of and were very patient with me and able to assist me in my crisis. Thank you so very much, and I recommend this company first to any and all persons in need of help with a locksmith, no matter their situation. Thank you again, and keep doing the good deeds you all were meant to do. God Bless You All.
– Melisa M.
Had a 3-point deadbolt system on an expensive front door break in the locked position. They came and tried to get it to retract but it wouldn’t, then went to hardware store to buy a multi-tool saw, cut thru the bolt, and then rigged the main deadbolt to work until I got the part. Only charged me for the time worked on the lock, as it should be. When I finally got the new lock, they came and got it all working together. Great customer service. Highly recommend them.
– Frank W.
Highly recommended!! Gene is a fantastic business owner. He always puts the customer first!! If you need anything from a lock on a door installed to a vault door installed, A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. is the only locksmith to use!! Thank you so much for all you have done for me. I will be using you again!! Thank you so much, Gene!
– Dustin E.
I am the manager at Hertz Car Rental here in Asheville. We came in on a Thursday morning and the safe that holds all of our vehicle keys was not opening!! I called every single locksmith in the area, and they all recommended A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc.! I called and left a voicemail– I received a call back within 10 minutes and the locksmith got to the location very quickly! I really appreciate being treated as a priority, and the service was excellent! Totally recommend this company for any of your locksmith needs!!! THANKS, GUYS!
– Katie I.
I needed another key for my Toyota. I bought one online and took it to A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. to see if they would cut it. They cut it, but it didn’t work very well, possibly because my old key is worn. So they cut one they had and gave me both– for $3. I programmed them at home with instructions from the internet. Both keys need a bit of jiggling to work, but they work. So I have 2 spare keys for my car for a total investment of $20. Not bad! If I need any lock work, I will go back to this company.
– Noel Y.
A locksmith with a brick and mortar store — fantastic! I brought my lock (with all keys lost), and they made me new keys on the spot. Alas, I forgot my credit card. Not to worry– they let me take the completed work home, and I called in from home to pay by phone. Trustworthy, honest, and genuine. Thanks, A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc.!
– Steve W.
It was a dark, cold, rainy Saturday night. We had just completed an 1,100-mile car trip, and I went down to open the cabin while my friends started unloading the car. As I stood fumbling for the keys in the dark, freezing cold rain it dawned on me . . . I had forgotten them. They were sitting back home, 1,100 miles away! I immediately started calling locksmiths in the area. I called every one of them. Of course, being Saturday night, they were all closed. I wasn’t sure if there was anyone out there checking all the messages I was leaving, but I didn’t know what else to do. Well it turns out there WAS someone checking! William of A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. called me right back! He was in the middle of another job on the far side of Asheville, but said he would come help us as soon as he finished. Without hesitation, he was willing to drive all the way to Montreat in the pouring rain on a Saturday night to help us! What a great guy! What GREAT customer service! If y’all are ever in need of a Locksmith, A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. is the company, and William is absolutely the man for the job!
– Sam F.
My co-worker and I were beyond frustrated today with our storage unit lock. Will took all our worries away and eased our mind. He was able to get in our unit crazy fast! He was such a sweetheart and very efficient. He is staying on speed dial for our company!
– Elizabeth W.
This company communicates great and is very responsive. They do what they say they are going to at the agreed-upon price.
– Joe S.
Very prompt and good service last week when I got locked out of a house in Swannanoa.
– Iris D.
A.L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. replaced our back dock door and added a coded lockbox so that our deliveries can be done before and after hours. From one local business to another, we highly recommend them for all your big and small needs.
– Sherrye C.
It was so worth it to pay a professional. I had keypad deadbolts put on my front and back door. From start to finish, the service was exceedingly helpful and professional. I initially spoke with the owner, who made sure that the locksmith would have locks with the right finish with him the next day. The locksmith who installed my locks and gave me a thorough education about them arrived right on time (actually, a few minutes early). Judson could not have been any more helpful, explaining about all of the options for installation, fixing the problems with the previous installation, and making sure I avoid any potential problems with the locks. He even swept up the floor after he was done, which made me laugh because it was really dirty before he started. (I stayed home from work that day to clean.) I would highly recommend A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. to anyone.
– Lynn R.
I am so very grateful for this company because they responded with speed when I needed them at 4:30 PM on a Friday. Thank you, thank you, thank you for saving me and for offering amazing service!

– Frank M.
I had a key that was broken off in the ignition and took both pieces to them and they (Phil at the counter) made me a new key that worked without even having the vehicle there to try it on. It worked perfectly. Thanks.
– Todd C.
These are the best locksmiths in town or if you need a safe or special key made. Very, very knowledgeable and patient. I always go here to get keys made, and they always work too.
– Phil C.

This is the best locksmith shop! I got locked out of my house last night, and Andrew was on call. He was there within about an hour, very patiently worked on the problem, and got me in the door. He was courteous, efficient and truly a lifesaver. I had to get a new lock installed, and Gene at the shop worked through the problem with me, so that less than 24 hours later, Andrew had the new lock installed and all was well. I don’t think I would ever use anyone else for lock and key issues. Thanks, A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc.!!
– Mary W.
I had to have my locks changed at work, and they were timely and very efficient. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

– Rob J.
We have worked with A. L. Odom Locksmiths, Inc. for years for locks and keys in multiple locations of our businesses.
