About Owner
Ron Hinson
Hi, I’m Ron. I’m the owner-operator behind ACH Locksmith Madison.
I’ve been invested in the Madison area for close to 30 years. During this time I’ve raised two daughters who attended the local schools.
Over the years, I’ve learned that great service begins and ends with experienced and friendly professionals, and that’s exactly what I offer. Unlike some other techs in the business, I genuinely enjoy meeting and serving people.
I’ve received some of the best training in the country having graduated from fully accredited Professional Locksmiths of America Training. I’m one of the only locksmiths in Wisconsin that can make this claim. With a focus on personalized service, competitive rates, and customer satisfaction, I’m always striving to meet and exceed your expectations.
Talk to the Owner Directly
ACH is not corporate-owned. We’re an independent, Madison-area small business. With a friendly, independent spirit to match.
At ACH you talk and work directly with the owner Ron, so you’re never caught in a game of “telephone” between a dispatcher and techs. And you won’t be sent a random tech making minimum wage from a barely-vetted network. (Ie: someone who just doesn’t care.)
Though being locked out is stressful, we aim to bring you the silver lining of a great experience.
You’ll come away from your local locksmith experience feeling good from:
- Human connection (personal and friendly service)
- Clean, professional, and non-smoking personnel
- Transparent, flat fee pricing
- Honest time estimates
- A “damage-free” and minimally-invasive approach to unlocks and repairs
- Peace of mind knowing you’re dealing with an owner whose personal word and integrity are on the line
How Pricing Works
Our pricing is clear and transparent, every time. You’re quoted a FLAT FEE. There’s no bait and switch, or inconsistencies between what you’re quoted on the phone and what you pay for the service.
Travel time
Admin costs
Day rate versus
night rate
Labor
Materials
Before he meets you onsite, Ron will do everything in his power to collect all the information (including photos or video chat if needed) to give you an honest estimate of the total cost up front.
Speaking with you directly helps Ron understand your exact problem and determine the price of your service.
Payment Methods:
We accept Cash, Credit or Debit card as well as financing options available.

What Our Customers Say
Excellent
Ron is one of the most reliable locksmiths in Madison. He is professional, dependable, and always shows up when you need him. I can always count on him for fast, high-quality service, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy locksmith.
Bought an old Mercedes-Benz E500 that only had one key fob. Ron came to my house and within an hour had another fob programmed and working. Not many companies will work with Mercedes vehicles but ACH Locksmith handled it with ease (and for far less than it would cost at a dealer!)
Best locksmith in Madison WI.
Ron was great to work with. Scheduling was a breeze and pricing was great. Highly recommend ACH Locksmith Madison for your locksmith services in Madison WI.
I hired ACH Locksmith Madison (owner Ron) to replace my car key fob, and he came out quickly, which I appreciated. However, the very next morning, the battery in the key fob was dead. I called them to ask that they come back and check or replace it, but they refused to come back just to replace the battery.
For the price I paid, I expected the key fob to work properly — and for reasonable follow-up service. It’s frustrating that they won’t stand behind their work when a simple battery fix is needed.
I hope they’ll reconsider customer service for small but important issues like this. In the meantime, I feel I need to report this to consumer protection because I did not get what was promised or paid for.

Needed a second key Fob. Dealer was quoting $800. ACH owner, forget his name ordered a Fob. Took one day. Came to the house as promised and I had a new Fob in 30 minutes. It was either $475 or $495. Went through all the functions with me and new Fob works like new.
Ron was a lifesaver! I broke the fob to my car months ago and only could manually unlock it, however yesterday my key not only would not turn it got stuck. Ron was quick to come help and I’m so grateful he did! He was honest and it was clear he confidently knew what he was doing on top of being polite and respectful. He was also very informative on what to look out for regarding my key and car. Ron was able to remove the stuck key, inform on what was wrong with my car door’s lock, and was able to make me a new fob (which only took like 10-15mins to make surprisingly!) I highly reccomend giving him a call if you’re looking for a great locksmith for your vehicle! I plan to give him a call when I’m ready to replace the locking system on the door as well!
Did a great job and was affordable .Thanks!
I have a Saturn Vue. The keys had worn down with time, and the Chevy dealership was unable to make copies or replace the ignition due the fact that there was no more Saturn dealerships to get a required code to replace the ignition. Basically, my little SUV would be toast when the keys stopped functioning. I called ACH, and the dude was willing to try to make some copies. We set up a place to meet, and he showed up at our choose location on time and ready to go! It took him about an hour to generate two working keys from just the lock on the door. To say that this dude created a miracle out of nothing is an understatement! The side by side of the keys are night to day!!!!! Highly professional, extremely highly skilled. 15/10. Would recommend to anyone and everyone who needs locksmithing done!
We busted our key in half and it fell inside the starter and he came and got it out for us, got us two new keys, and jumped the car since it was sitting dead for a few months and got all this done in under 30 minutes! Wasn’t insanely expensive either. 10/10 recommend!
Super fast response time
Hooked me up with a great price and went above and beyond to help me out
I really appreciate you. Definitely recommend 👌

Ron was great. Got my car unlocked and made me a spare right on site. Thanks so much!
I’m writing this review under my husbands acct. (don’t know how to switch accts) Anyways…..Ron really gets a 10 ⭐️ review! I couldn’t believe the how he answered, I gave him my address, and he showed up!! How awesome was that!! The BEST customer service I have had in a long time! “ACH Locksmith” will be the ONLY locksmith I call. He should be the ONLY person you call as well!! I am excited to have a person to refer to for anyone who needs keys made! Ron is very pleasant and knowable as well! Thanks Ron! Your new client, Kerry
Realized I had lost my car keys right at the end of the work day and contact ACH. The locksmith came within 15 minutes. He took care of getting me a new key without a hitch and was super friendly, even shared a few helpful tips about changing batteries and starting my car when the key battery runs out. The price was reasonable and certainly much cheaper than going to the dealership would have been. Highly recommend. Great service and kind person.
Ron helped me by drilling a new hole for my dead bolt. I didn't realize I needed it, until night, of coarse.
He was knowledable, kind and quick at his work.
Thank you so much Ron!

Called in to have a business lock fixed and wound up finding someone else who could be there sooner. I called back to apologize and let them know we wouldn't need them anymore and was given a pretty rude response of "well I hope they're a good locksmith cause anyone worth half of anything is going to be busy right now". Needless to say I will not be using ACH ever.
Last night I dropped my Toyota Camry key fob and it literally exploded apart on the floor into five pieces. I tried to put it back together myself, even got a tutorial online but nothing-the buttons wouldn’t unlock the car. I called Ron yesterday to see if there was anything he could do to help, fully expecting I would need to purchase a new fob. Ron patiently talked me through checking the circuit board for damage and luckily, the car started, so no damage. He then talked me through putting the entire thing back together, and it works fine! I am so grateful for his expertise and kind, patient delivery. Thank you Ron!!
Wonderful service. Came within 15 minutes of calling to save me and even replaced my battery!
OMG it’s was greatly appreciated fast and great customer service! Thanks again! Ron
Got the car unlocked quickly and was really chill
New car key ! Wonderful. Thanks
Professional, quick work and kind. Highly recommended.
These guys are great, highly recommend.
Showed up on time (early actually), got me going right away with a new set of keys at a very affordable price.
Fast and professional, you will not be disappointed with their service!

Called them when I lost my key, they came out right away and had it done in just a few minutes. Good price for it and friendly service to boot
“Appreciated effort and professionalism”
I contacted ACH Locksmith Madison for help with a replacement key for my daughter’s 2019 VW Beetle. The locksmith was very responsive, friendly, and even came out to meet her at her workplace to take a look. Unfortunately, due to the newer VW system, the key couldn’t be fully programmed outside of the dealership — but he still cut a temporary metal key on the spot at no charge, which was very helpful. I appreciated the honesty, effort, and time he took trying to help.
I would definitely use again.

Quick and friendly service! Ron came out within 15 minutes and was very kind and approachable. He even replaced the battery in my key fob for me. Very kind and helpful.
Was quick and avaliable at 10:30 at night. Came out and popped lock in a couple minutes great people.
Probably the only locksmith around who can pick your car open with no damage to your car. $95 with no hidden fees. Totally worth the money since quick service and no damage. Friendly and approachable. You might not get this with some locksmith. He made a copy of my car key for $60, which is a fair price, so I won’t have to go out of my way to make a copy for a car key that has a fob attached.
I got lock out of my semi. Luckily he was few minutes away from me when I called. And showed up right away and unlock it less than a minute.
Thank you very much Sir.
Thank you very much Sir.
Exceptional service at a fair price in an emergency situation on a Sunday morning. Ron the owner was friendly, professional and very competent. I highly recommend him for anyone who, like me, lost car keys and was locked out.
Very, very prompt. Made it look too easy. 👌🏾
Ron was a rockstar. Came out on a Saturday night and had me back in my RV in no time!
Excellent service.
I called for a non-urgent lock issue on a back door. I was fit into the schedule right away and my door was fixed very quickly. Service was fast, efficient & friendly.
100% would recommend and I will be saving AHC’s number for any further lock needs.

Extremely professional and knowledgeable. I recommend for any job you may have. Quick and excellent service.
Great customer service, responds and shows up very quickly and prices are very fair. I have worked with Ron twice and the customer service is great every time . I recommend this business.
Thankyou Ron for coming out! Fast & Easy Job! & Very Reasonable
Very affordable and knew exactly what he was doing
Excellent customer service!
Honest, good quality work. Ron tried programming a car key's proximity sensor for me (took over a half hour programming multiple keys to try to get something to work), and there was an issue with my car that prevented it. He would not charge me anything for the failed attempt, despite this being an issue with my car. I ended up getting a non-proximity key for backup, and he cut me a couple spare keys at no cost to go with my key so that I wouldn't get locked out of my car. I would use Ron again.
He came as soon as he could I got locked out of my car after work. Very kind and work very fast! He also offered to make a key copy for me. The prices are very reasonable. If I ever have a lockout again I’d definitely call them!
I am not surprised at all about all these beautiful reviews about Ron. I was in need of having a duplicate of my car made because the current one was about to get damaged. He came on time, at my own convenience, and the duplicate was made within 15 minutes. Above all, he is a pleasant and nice guy with excellent customer service. I highly recommend him.
Wonderful, affordable, quick, and reliable service! Friendly, fast, and was able to come right to our location. Super friendly, and wonderful to work with. My family has gotten Rob’s car key duplication services multiple times, and we always receive a great service for an affordable rate. Would recommend!
I called ACH when I needed a car key/fab made for my car. They were quick, knowledgeable, and very kind! Would highly recommend, I needed them on Sunday and within an hour I had someone working on my key. Fantastic service
