Our Story

Appleton Locksmith was founded in 1990 by a Fox Cities native who believed the community deserved a locksmith they could actually trust — one that answered the phone, showed up when they said they would, and charged a fair price.

Over 35 years later, that's still exactly what we do. We're not a franchise. We're not a national call center with a local phone number. We're a real local business with real technicians who live and work in the Fox Cities.

We specialize in automotive locksmith services — car lockouts, new car keys, transponder key programming, and key fob replacement. We carry full key cutting and programming equipment on every mobile unit, so we can solve most problems on-site without a dealer tow.

Why Fox Cities Customers Trust Us

We give you a total price before we dispatch. No surprises when we arrive — what we quote is what you pay.

No After-Hours Surcharge

Same pricing 24/7/365. A Sunday at 2 AM costs the same as a Tuesday at noon.

Background-Checked Technicians

Licensed & Insured in Wisconsin

We are fully licensed and insured in the state of Wisconsin. Ask any locksmith you call to confirm their license.

We use professional tools and techniques that won't damage your vehicle. We never drill unless it's absolutely the only option.

When you call (920) 643-3100, a real person answers — not an answering service, not a voicemail, not a chatbot.

Protect Yourself

Protect Yourself From Locksmith Scams

Locksmith scams are active throughout Wisconsin. Here's how to spot them before you get taken.

Red flags — hang up and call a verified local locksmith:

They advertise $15–$35 service calls — no legitimate licensed locksmith can operate at those rates.
They can't give you a firm total price on the phone before dispatching.
They show up in an unmarked vehicle with no ID, uniform, or company signage.
They claim they need to drill your lock without attempting non-destructive entry first.
They demand cash only and won't accept credit cards.
They list an Appleton or Fox Cities address but have a non-local area code or out-of-state plates.

Appleton Locksmith gives you a firm price before dispatch, carries ID, and has been locally owned since 1990. Call (920) 643-3100.
