Always Affordable Always Available Locksmiths

Service impeccable. I’ve visited this location many, many times, and they are my Calgary go-​to for cutting keys. They also carry all levels of security locks, peepholes, door knobs, deadbolts, safes, bicycle locks… security products pack their little shop. If they don’t have what you want, they’ll order it in for you.
I’ve been in and needed a key for my steering wheel club. They didn’t have the same blank another locksmith had used for my club previously, and wouldn’t cut the key without the club in the store to test it. That’s fair. Those clubs can be fussy. Luckily, I was driving my own car that day, and had the club with me. The lady behind the counter made my copy, and we tested it out. Success was ours and she made me another copy for a backup.
My only beef I’ve had was the last time I visited, I had to return because the keys they made for my office after they had replaced a deadbolt were a little… «stiff». I asked the gent to please cut it manually from the original that was slick like butter in the lock, but he kept insisting on using the cutting code for the digital machine. The keys work, but they could be better.
I guess I was a little annoyed because for a few years in my misspent youth, I worked at a hardware store cutting keys. I’m familiar with the old tech, and the new tech… well, while new and wonderful, sometimes doesn’t quite measure up to the old school way of doing it.

We were very pleased with the quick, professional, quality service we got from this company.
When booking the appointment, the person on the phone was efficient and helpful, and although I was phoning to make an appointment for whenever they next had time, they were able to squeeze us in same day.
The man who came and rekeyed our house was very nice and knowledgeable, helpful, made a very good suggestion to us about safety. I consider it above and beyond.

Very professional and courteous over the phone. The locksmith was also professional, polite and responsible. To top it all off, he arrived half an hour before the quoted time which was awesome! Highly recommend this place if you’re ever locked out of your home or mailbox!

Following a bad experience with another locksmith, I had Always Affordable come to my home to repair what the other company fumbled.
Always Affordable was very friendly on the phone and the locksmith,“Dave”, was professional and efficient. Had all my troubles fixed within 30 minutes. Would highly recommend this company.

I stupidly lost my mail key and found great reviews on Unilocal about AAAAL. I received great service starting with the initial phone call to set up a service person. The lady who answered the phone quoted me the fees for replacement and I was able to pick when I wanted someone to show up at my home. They give you a window of an hour to show up, and my serviceman was at my place promptly at the beginning of my alloted time. He was quick, friendly, professional and knowledgable, and made sure my lock worked properly before going over the breakdown of the invoice before taking my payment.
I definitely will be recommending AAAL to anyone who is in need of locksmith services.

Needed to get a lock replaced on a residential door. The staff on the phone was very friendly and professional. Was able to get an appointment that worked out for everyone’s schedule. Technician arrived on time. Tech was polite, friendly and efficient (I will even throw in ‘clean’, as that can be a problem sometimes with on-​site fixes). Knew what had to be done, had the tools ready, and was completed in a very timely manner. Great job cleaning up. Couldn’t be more satisfied with the end result and the service.

In terms of key selection, this is the place to go for cutting all your weird double-​side locker keys, old key types, etc. This isn’t a mall kiosk, but rather a place both the public and locksmiths go. They also have an array of safes and other security products available. Quick service, good prices!

Prompt, helpful and did get me the key I needed.
