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.

What Our Customers Say
Excellent
5.0
My partner lost her car key & Ron came to help is out the same day I called. Friendly, professional, reasonably priced, and fast. Couldn’t ask for anything better
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!
OBTAIN A KEY FROM HIM AT YOUR OWN RISK, I purchased a key fob for my car from him a year ago now a year later the key DOES NOT WORK AS IF ITS NOT PROGRAMMED TO MY CAR ANYMORE ,INSTEAD I GOT TOLD TO PAY ANOTHER 325 FOR A REPLACEMENT, I SHOULDA TOOK MY ASS TO THE DEALERSHIP IF I WAS GONNA BE PAYING DAMN NEAR THE SAME PRICE
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.
Super quick response time and even made a copy of my key so I don’t get locked out again 🙂
Great experience with Ron, communicated with us on his arrival time and was very personable with us while he worked on our issue. 10/10 would recommend!
This dude arrived fast as hell. Dude picked my lock in 30 seconds. I'll never forget when he said, "all Dodges take me 8-10 seconds." Holy sweet Mother of God! It was $90. Best company ever!
Highly recommend, he was very upfront with the price, got here fast and unlocked my car within seconds. Also a very humble and genuine guy.
Last weekend my boyfriend and I were enjoying a nice dinner at Texas road house (1hr away from home) it was late and realized we locked our keys in the car. Ach locksmith was there as fast as he could and did the job quick! Def 10/10 experience

Response from the owner: Appreciated
Unlock my card in 40 seconds
Response from the owner: Some are easier than others and unlock most my first option to unlock is ALWAYS to try ans pick the door lock! You call a tow company you expect your door pried open, call a locksmith you should expect them to pick the lock and zero damage.

I lost my only car key and tried calling several places, but no one could make me a new key fob. I found ACH and, even though he wasn’t sure he could help, he gave it a try. He made me a new key at a great price. I highly recommend ACH for any locksmith needs!
Response from the owner: Thanks Rich glad I was able to get you going again!
I HIGHLY recommend Ron of ACH Locksmith in Madison. I locked my keys inside my vehicle in a parking garage on campus. Ron answered the phone right away, gave me an ETA, updated his ETA, met me at the parking garage entrance, and had my vehicle unlocked in 10 minutes. He was professional, calm, and friendly despite me being a bit frazzled. I was able to pay with a credit card on the spot. I could not have asked for a better or more convenient experience for resolving a stressful situation. Thank you Ron!!
Response from the owner: Appreciate the review Amy! Pleasure meeting you!
Outstanding service! Ron was super responsive- came to our home and replaced our car key the same day I called. Very fair price for an excellent product. To top it off, he fixed the car door manual lock and made us a house key copy at no additional cost. Ron really cares about people and customer service. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner: Thanks so much for the kind words! Have a great day!
Ron was able to come get us back into our house within an hour of calling. In fact it took him less than 15 seconds to unlock the door. Highly recommend!July 2024 follow up:Never thought I would have to call a locksmith twice in a calendar year, but tonight proved me wrong. I gave him a call and he arrived within 10 minutes and had the door open in about 2 minutes. He was kind enough to make me a couple copies of our key.I greatly recommend!!
Response from the owner: Thanks Jach!
Quick to respond, great price for a duplicate set of motorcycle keys.
Response from the owner: I really do love working on motorcycles! Thanks
Had a fantastic experience with a Nissan fob replacement. Turns out it didn’t need to be replaced! He fixed it within 30 seconds! Thank you for the great communication and helping me so timely. He came right to the location of my car, very friendly and kind. Would highly recommend his services.

Response from the owner: Thanks so much for the kind words! It is a very rewarding part of the job to be able to help people out. Thanks again
Ron bailed us out after the security bar on the sliding doors fell and locked us out of the apartment. Yes, the deadbolt on the front door was locked also. All the window bars were in place also. It was not good! Thanks to ACH for helping us get on to our 7 hour trip south.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the review! Was my pleasure!
