Kokomo's Trusted Locksmith Since 1985
Affordable Locksmith is a family-owned, owner-operated locksmith business that has been serving the residents and businesses of Kokomo, Indiana and Howard County for over 39 years. We built our reputation one honest job at a time.
Our Story
Affordable Locksmith was founded in Kokomo, Indiana in 1985 with a simple mission: provide professional locksmith services at prices that real Kokomo families and businesses could afford. Nearly four decades later, that mission hasn't changed.
What started as a one-man operation has grown into Howard County's most trusted locksmith service — but we've kept it owner-operated throughout. That means when you call us, you're talking to the owner. When we show up at your door, you're meeting the person whose name is on the truck. We have a stake in your satisfaction that no national chain can match.
Over 39+ years, we've seen the lock industry transform dramatically — from simple pin-tumbler locks to transponder chips, smart locks, and biometric systems. We've invested in training and equipment to stay ahead of every technological shift, so our customers always get modern solutions, not outdated techniques.
We've answered thousands of 2 AM emergency calls from Kokomo residents locked out of their homes. We've helped businesses secure their operations after break-ins. We've saved drivers from having to tow their vehicles across town for key programming. And we've done it all with the same commitment: honest work, honest pricing, and respect for the trust our community places in us.
