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.

Ya know those little flip up key fobs? Well, they suck. Both of the fobs to my Mazda have fallen to pieces over the years, which nearly stranded me last night. After calling the dealership this morning and finding out that they can’t just make one outrageously expensive new fob for me, but they’d need to make 2 (due to some programming/chip BS), I was left frustrated, unwilling to fork over nearly $800 just to get a working key to my car.
Enter Ron, from ACH Locksmith… After a quick google search for local help in finding an affordable way to start my car, I found Ron, called him and not only did he not try to upsell me, he offered up more durable options that I did not even know existed! He was even able to stop by my house on the same day and got my new key (and separate, more durable fob) cut and activated in less than 30 minutes, all for less than half of the what the dealership was telling me I’d have to pay.
Thank you Ron! You’ve got a new, loyal customer who will recommend you to everyone she knows!

Great experience. Ron fit me into his schedule right away, explained the process while working on the new fob and got the job done quickly. Will definitely work with ACH again if I need a locksmith.

Im sure the locks are great or whatever, but the drivers for this company are insane. They should really be more careful on the highway or someone could get hurt. Tailgating only gets you to an early grave.

It was New Year's Eve. Nobody would come. At least one locksmith was closed. I had locked myself out. I actually tried to break into my house but the windows are too hard for even a hammer. After calling others, I called Ron and he was at my house within 20 minutes. Wish I'd called him first! He opened both doors needed to get into my house. I feel safer now knowing I can't even break in, but if I ever need a locksmith in the future. I'm calling ACH Locksmith Madison.

I can’t give him enough stars. Very friendly, extremely helpful, and highly knowledgeable. He was able to help me with a new key fob the day I called him and it was done quickly and for a great price. Please consider for any locksmith services you need, especially if it’s an emergency. He really cares about his customers and his work.

If you need a key or locksmithing services in the Madison area, THIS IS THE GUY YOU SHOULD CALL. I filled out 5 forms requesting a callback on various Madison locksmiths' sites. Only Ron replied. Not only that, but he replied only a few hours later. Once we were in touch, he answered all my questions quickly and clearly. We set up a mobile appointment and THAT SAME DAY I was able to get my lost electronic car key replaced. Ron was very knowledgeable and helpful. I am completely satisfied with the look and feel of my new key. One of the best service experiences I have ever had.

He was very professional and very respectful! Did not take advantage that I was in a anxiety mindset! Could tell I had a long rough day and was able to help out! Thank you so much

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!)

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!

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!

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!!
