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.

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.

Had two new keys made for my Tacoma as the original keys were lost. Took about 20 minutes and was 1/2 the price quoted to me from the dealership. Very friendly and good communication throughout the process.
Fast and very nice guy! Price was a tad bit high but I was moving into a new apartment so I was willing to just get it over with because it was a quick job. Thank you again!

Talk about going above and beyond! Ron not only did what we hired him for expertly he also opened a little safe that my daughter had lost the key to. It wasn't even part of the job! Great work Ron!
I accidentally locked my keys in my car late at night. They came out very quickly, within 20 minutes. I was very impressed and pleased with how quick and professional they were. They even helped fix my broken FOB key.
I had a very good experience, he arrived very shortly, was very friendly and had my car open quickly. I would definitely recommend.
Highly recommend! I had locked myself and my dog outside our house and it was cold out. He was professional, fast and very kind. He said he would be here within 30 minutes and he was and still apologized for not getting here quicker. Very appreciative of the excellent service!
Very professional, Same Day Service, Very reasonable prices, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a locksmith.

Made the trip all the way to edgerton.
He did very good job timely fashion
ACH saved me! My only key to my car was lost outside somewhere and no one else could help me with the type of car I have. ACH came quick and was able to get me 2 new keys in a short period of time for a very reasonable price. He also came in the freeezing cold with a smile. Will only be using him for future issues I run into and will 10/10 recommend to all family and friends in the area!!
Locked myself out of my car AND apartment at around 8 pm and ACH was the first person I called, he came immediately in about 20 minutes and got me back inside in under five! Was very knowledgeable and extremely kind!
Was extremely responsive, made his way to me quickly, worked worth me to find solutions, was knowledgeable about other car concerns I had, gave me a jump when my car died, and was generally just kind and helpful.
ACH was great! Locked keys in the car and he was there quickly. Got our car unlocked quickly as well and was even able to replace our key fob battery. Excellent, friendly service!
ACH was recommended by another locksmith to help us get into our car. We only had one key fob and lost it so ACH came out to help us. He was out to us within 20 mins and took him less than 10 minutes to get the key fob programmed for us. Definitely would recommend ACH. He saved the day!!
Super cool guy! Came within 20 minutes and deliverer on what was said. Unlocked my car and on top of that fixed my key battery so I could use it again!
Ron from ACH Locksmith came to rescue me at a farmers market when I locked my car keys and cellphone in my car on a Sunday morning. I so appreciated his service!!!
Saved my butt tonight when I found myself midway through replacing my front door lock and realized I had no idea what I was doing. Owner was super friendly and helpful and I am so grateful! I've actually never had to call a locksmith before tonight but 11/10 would recommend. Will be my go to locksmith for the future for sure. Thank you thank you thank you x1000000<3
Awesome customer service! Squeezed me in last minute! Also changed my key fobe battery. Took less then 10 minutes! Will keep this number handy! Thanks again
Lost my only set of keys at airport. He came within 30 minutes and was able to print and program two new keys efficiently and with a fair price. My only other option was to tow my car to the dealership and wait for them to make one so he is by far a more convenient service and I can get to work tomorrow with no additional trips!
Got my car unlocked in less than a minute, great work, thanks Ron.
This guy knows what he’s doing and get job done. I called him about my key fob and it was lost. Came out to complete work and with in the next couple of hours I was back in my car, price was exceptional as well!!
I had Ron add a key to my Audi Q5 and he was very quick to respond and helpful. I was pleased with his services and called him back a few weeks later to unlock my storage unit. I highly recommend him.
So fast, so easy! Highly recommend!
I live in Verona, and got locked out of my truck around 5 P.M. I called a handful of locksmiths and towing companies, none wanted to come out here or said they were closed. I called ACH at about 5:40, we talked, and he was here within an hour. Took just a few minutes to unlock my truck, and he made me a spare key. Very reasonable price and fast service. Cannot recommend enough!
ACH is a lifesaver. Not only was the price for my replacement key fob a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the dealerships, they do home service as well. Ron got my key fob programmed at my house in 20 minutes and was out of there. Communication was great, and I'm super happy with his professionalism. Thanks, Ron!
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.
