We contracted AA safe and security to install keyless entry, cameras and alarm system. Their team was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Any issue that came up they were quick to provide solutions.

I called several places for a quote to buy and program new fobs, and laser new keys for my Honda. The person on the phone was great and quoted me the best price. After the work was done by another wonderful employee, I was rung out at a higher price than I was quoted. I shared what I had been quoted and with great professionalism, the owner or manager honored the quote. I highly recommend this business!

Great group of people, took great care of me when my safe no longer wanted to open, they came out and got it open for me and made a difficult situation as easy as it could be!

Easy to work with and helpful, and their keys always work. Seems like a silly thing to say but I've had problems with keys cut at other places like home depot not working enmven though they look identical to me.

These guys are awesome, they got a tech to the shop super fast and solved our problems with great service, highly recommended! Update 6/15/2020: Once again, I needed immediate help with our DVR and AA Safe and Security had my back and went above and beyond to help me resolve it.

Scott and his crew are the best in town for all your door hardware and home security needs. As a local architect, I refer clients/contractors regularly knowing they will receive great products and great service.

As a local business owner, I've been the target of several attempted break-ins. AA Safe has helped me pick out great locks to protect us. They recommended a lock that couldn't be destroyed easily and thankfully that protected us from disaster last night. I won't go anywhere else to protect both home and business.
