Called to get an estimate to have a new key programmed for my 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. They quoted me $300 per key, (I had the blank keys). Dodge dealer was only $80 per key... I used Ace Hardware in Columbiana instead, for just $40 per key.
THIS place is an absolute ripoff, or they don't want work... I don't know which.

I was visiting my sister and noticed the front door deadbolt would stick and it was impossible to unlock the door.
I called their office and was told John, the owner, was on a call could she call me back to let us when he could come. Within a few minutes she called back and said John could be there shortly. 20 minutes later John shows up and knew exactly what the problem was. He not only fixed the front door deadbolt but he lubricated all the locks and deadbolts around the house.
All was done in less than a half hour, but the best part was the bill. It was half of what we thought it was going

I was so fortunate to find Farris Lock and Key today. I was already having a bad day when my vehicle locked itself with my handbag and key inside. I was two hours away from home with no one to call. Not only was Josh there promptly, he got me inside right away. The best part was the excellent customer service I received from the initial phone call until the technician arrived. The price was less than half than what I was quoted just 5 minutes before I called them. GREAT JOB Farris Lock and Key. You’ve earned my business for life!

He squeezed me in last minute and got to me in the same day. He was super nice, and his prices were amazing. Only $160 to drive over an hour to my home and make brand new keys and program them. He was so professional and worked very quickly. 20 minutes and he was done. He is a life saver! Absolute 10/10 will definitely call again!

Received great timely service both on a personal level with car key/fob replacement and changing out locks and repairing them on a rental storefronts attached to my business. Rekeyed doors work better than the old locks he replaced. Replaced commercial locks and rekeyed locks after tenant had to leave. -Call Farris direct - don't fall for a call center that assigns your service call to a pool of unknowns. The lowest price is not always the best deal- quality service for a fair price is how I would describe Farris.

He did a great job in every way. He came to the house within a matter of hours even though he was planning to go out of town. He also managed to cut several locks off of our outside AC unit cages that were supposed to be difficult for anyone to break into. The keys had been lost by the company doing maintenance on them and we were in the process of selling the house and couldn't sell it that way. It took him less than 15 minutes and his fee was extremely fair!

I very rarely leave reviews but after using John's services I felt compelled to leave one. John was very professional and very reliable. On top of that he is just a really nice guy! We set up a time for John to come and re-key four locks all the way out in Sylacauga. He was right on time and did very professional work. The experience couldn't have been better and I would highly recommend using John.

We decided to get a locksmith to come re-do our house's locks after purchasing our new house. Better safe than sorry! After our closing was delayed, we had to reschedule, but luckily there were no issues with this.

The locksmith promptly showed up after we closed. He was very nice and professional. He was also SUPER fast. He was at our house less than ten minutes. He just needed to see what kind of locks we had and how many needed to be done. He went back to his truck, made the keys, and was done in no time. I would definitely use him again. Made this process very fast and painless for us

We bought a house and needed to get it re-keyed, so where else would I turn besides yelp for locksmiths! I texted John two days before we were supposed to move in and he said he would be able to come out after we are closed on the home to re-key our house. There were some closing delays and John was super flexible, and was able to rearrange His schedule to come the next day.

I did not realize how quickly The process would take! John was literally at our house for five minutes or less! He got our house re-keyed and gave us four copies of the key. He was super professional and his prices were very

Super communication and was at my place within 40 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. John was very nice and professional. He called to let me know when he was on his way from his previous stop. Couldn't have asked for better service!

Mr. Farris was fantastic. I drove twelve hours to find myself locked out of my apartment at 1:00 am. The gentleman (Brandon), who answered the phone, was polite and quoted the exact amount to be paid when asked. A very reasonable rate compared to other locksmiths in the vicinity (I called to check). Mr. Farris was at my apartment quickly and worked diligently on my stubborn lock. There were no hidden charges for the extra time Mr. Farris spent. Highly recommend this business.

We called John on a Friday night after locking ourselves out of our house in Anniston and I couldn't say nicer things about the experience. We called 3 locksmiths total, and Farris Lock and Key were the only ones who called us back. They had to drive over from near Birmingham, but they arrived promptly and the whole experience was as painless as it could be. We also learned more about lock sets than I ever though possible! John and his son Austin were really nice, very accommodating, and completely saved the day! If you ever need a locksmith you should only call them, and you should call them
