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:

What Our Customers Say

Excellent
5.0
I couldn’t recommend this company anymore! I called in a panic after hours because I was unable to get my car started And was met only with solutions and fantastic service! Five stars is not enough!
I snapped a weak key in the ignition of our 1990 Miata, and I could not see it inside. I called ACH & received a quick text response from Ron. He scheduled me for later that day and arrived on time. In 20 minutes, he was able to pull the piece of the key out! The age of this car limits who is willing to work on it, and I'm thankful he was up for giving it a shot. He let me know that he works with newer cars with the pushbutton start as well.
My son locked his keys (with dead fob battery) in car on a Saturday night. ACH came right out Sunday morning, got car unlocked, replaced fob battery and made 2nd set of key/fob in less than 1/2 hour!! Highly Recommended!!
Unlocked my car, and made me a new key 👍
Great price and works all night
We sent a message on a Sunday morning, and Ron responded within two minutes! He quoted their flat rate for the site visit and lock rekeying and was at our place in about an hour. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us options. I once tried to replace a lock more than twenty years ago, and it took the better part of an afternoon. Ron finished all six locks (two rekeys, four replacements) in less than an hour. He’s definitely our go-to locksmith now.
Super quick response time and even made a copy of my key so I don’t get locked out again 🙂
Great experience with Ron, communicated with us on his arrival time and was very personable with us while he worked on our issue. 10/10 would recommend!
This dude arrived fast as hell. Dude picked my lock in 30 seconds. I'll never forget when he said, "all Dodges take me 8-10 seconds." Holy sweet Mother of God! It was $90. Best company ever!
Highly recommend, he was very upfront with the price, got here fast and unlocked my car within seconds. Also a very humble and genuine guy.
Last weekend my boyfriend and I were enjoying a nice dinner at Texas road house (1hr away from home) it was late and realized we locked our keys in the car. Ach locksmith was there as fast as he could and did the job quick! Def 10/10 experience
Response from the owner: Nice meeting you both! Thanks much for the review!

Response from the owner: Appreciated
Unlock my card in 40 seconds
Response from the owner: Some are easier than others and unlock most my first option to unlock is ALWAYS to try ans pick the door lock! You call a tow company you expect your door pried open, call a locksmith you should expect them to pick the lock and zero damage.

I lost my only car key and tried calling several places, but no one could make me a new key fob. I found ACH and, even though he wasn’t sure he could help, he gave it a try. He made me a new key at a great price. I highly recommend ACH for any locksmith needs!
Response from the owner: Thanks Rich glad I was able to get you going again!
I HIGHLY recommend Ron of ACH Locksmith in Madison. I locked my keys inside my vehicle in a parking garage on campus. Ron answered the phone right away, gave me an ETA, updated his ETA, met me at the parking garage entrance, and had my vehicle unlocked in 10 minutes. He was professional, calm, and friendly despite me being a bit frazzled. I was able to pay with a credit card on the spot. I could not have asked for a better or more convenient experience for resolving a stressful situation. Thank you Ron!!
Response from the owner: Appreciate the review Amy! Pleasure meeting you!
Outstanding service! Ron was super responsive- came to our home and replaced our car key the same day I called. Very fair price for an excellent product. To top it off, he fixed the car door manual lock and made us a house key copy at no additional cost. Ron really cares about people and customer service. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner: Thanks so much for the kind words! Have a great day!
Ron was able to come get us back into our house within an hour of calling. In fact it took him less than 15 seconds to unlock the door. Highly recommend!July 2024 follow up:Never thought I would have to call a locksmith twice in a calendar year, but tonight proved me wrong. I gave him a call and he arrived within 10 minutes and had the door open in about 2 minutes. He was kind enough to make me a couple copies of our key.I greatly recommend!!
Response from the owner: Thanks Jach!

We bought a used car that came with one key. We called the local Chrysler dealership who were happy to help us obtain a second key but not an easy task to accomplish due to the hours of operation and our schedules. ACH Locksmith made the task of getting a second key for the vehicle, simple, fast and done when it worked for us. Attention to customer service is so refreshing and so appreciated these days. , Thank you Ron for delivering honest, dependable quality key making without hassle. Definitely, will be a repeat customer with ACH Locksmith for all our locksmith needs.
Response from the owner: Appreciate the nice review Maria! Please let me know if need anything else in the future!
