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

5.0Karen OdegaardKaren Odegaard ★★★★★ I highly recommend working with ACH Locksmith for any lock needs. Ron responded quickly to repair a door lock and to help us with a bike lock issue. He is super easy to work with and provided helpful guidance and education about the doors and locks at our house. Highly recommend!Emily SchoellerEmily Schoeller ★★★★★ I’m not used to using a fob so I’ve locked my keys in my car twice now. He arrived quickly, and because of being a returning costumer I got a discount! He was very nice and quick and I would def recommend.Josh BrightJosh Bright ★★★★★ Ron was quick to service a broken lock and late in the night! Very professional and knowledgeable, all the tools to tackle a neglected lock. Replaced lock and fresh keys. Will be a returning customer with him as we can! Easy, fast, professional.Taytay CrosbyTaytay Crosby ★★★★★ I didn’t catch his name but did an amazing job and came out early to help me I appreciate itKayla BecherKayla Becher ★★★★★ Ron came out very quickly and helped me get back into my car. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant to work with. I had been locked out of my car for hours because AAA sent an under qualified locksmith who wasn’t able to help me. Getting my car unlocked was complex, but Ron knew what he was doing! Thank you so very much.Alex BeanAlex Bean ★☆☆☆☆ I’d go anywhere else other than Ron at ACH Locksmiths. He didn’t return my calls in over four hours and then tried to charge me over twice as much as the dealership for a new key. Save yourself time and money and look elsewhere.Response from the ownerWell sir you are spreading false information here. As a single owner operator I can't possibly answer every call. I have a service that texts back automatically when I miss a call and my voice mail says I will get back to you. I texted you back 13 mins after you called asking you for more info. You got back to me in about 10 mins. I got back to you in about an hr after looking up whether I had the key and could do the job. Your Car is a volvo sir and as you found out absolutely no other locksmith in Dane County told you they could help you. I told you I could but would have to order that key which is expensive. I also told you that fields volvo is probably cheaper than I would be. You still asked for my price which I gave and explained that I would have to pull your cars computer out to do the work. Not a easy task by any means. Dealer in this case can just hook uo their computer after they get the key from manufacturer. Lock smiths do not have this luxury with Volvo cars. I also think you only got a price for the key and not the programming from dealer. Lastly i can assure in almost all other cases my prices will be cheaper than dealers especially factoring in towing.

Happy to assist! Most people think they need to go to a dealer for their igntion which is absolutely the last place they should go. Thanks much Tessa ReedTessa Reed ★★★★★ Ron was quick to answer and serve my family at Mt.Olympus water and theme park when I had lost my car key on a roller coaster. Ron was very professional and respectful to my whole party as we had curious little kids to what he was doing to the car. Not a lot of people have my cars key fob in stock but Ron had one in stock and arrived very quick to get the job done. Thank you Ron for going above and beyond.Response from the ownerThanks Tessa you are correct most locksmiths don't bother to stock nearly as much inventory as I do. They expect you to wait 2days while they order your fob. Hope your family had a great vacation despite the rough start! Lisa CiufoLisa Ciufo ★★★★★ Ron was awesome, took no time veryNice .
