About Apex Lock & Key

Our Story

Apex Lock & Key was founded in 2008 by a master locksmith who believed that great service shouldn't come with inflated prices or shady upsells. Starting with a single van and a reputation built on word of mouth, we've grown into one of the most trusted locksmith companies in Springfield and the surrounding area.

Over the years, we've helped thousands of homeowners, businesses, and drivers get back in — and helped just as many take steps to keep the wrong people out. We're proud to still be locally owned and operated, with every job handled by a licensed technician who lives in the community we serve.

What We Stand For

Honesty over hype. We give you a real price over the phone, not a lowball number designed to get us in the door. What we quote is what you pay.

Speed without shortcuts. Fast response doesn't mean sloppy work. We take the time to do the job right the first time.

Your security, not a sale. We recommend what you actually need — not the most expensive option. If a rekey solves your problem, we'll tell you.

Licensing & Certifications

We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured as required by the state of Illinois. Our technicians carry their credentials and are happy to show identification before beginning any work.

Our Commitment to the Community

We're not a national franchise or a call center that dispatches unknown contractors. When you call Apex Lock & Key, you're calling a neighbor. We know the streets here, we know the neighborhoods, and we're invested in this community's safety.

That's why we offer senior discounts, work with property managers on a fixed-rate basis, and will always give you an honest answer even when it's not what a sale would require.
