Charlie was very professional and polite. The company that installed the door had put the bottom lock in upside down. Charlie fixed that and an old one that had been upside down for years.

I called him about 12:30 and he said he'd be there between 2 and 3. He showed up as promised. Very nice guy, very knowledgeable, very helpful. He fixed the problem very quickly without difficulty. He also had very fair pricing. I would absolutely use him again!

We made our selections, and Charlie arrived the next day, (at precisely the time he promised). Within a couple of hours he had removed all of the old hardware, installed all of the new locks, and left the doors looking better than when he arrived. We were completely satisfied with the services that he provided and found him to be a cheerful, knowledgeable professional who treated us with the utmost of courtesy and dignity. I will most heartily recommend his services.
Description of Work: Upon purchasing our new home, one of our first calls was to Charlie, the owner of General Locksmith in Hollywood, Florida to arrange to have all of the locks changed. He arrived within an hour, examined all of the entrances, and gave us an overview of the types of hardware that he could supply and install.

Great service and they were open on Saturday. As always, hiring a locksmith or repairman is scary because of the fear of getting ripped off but the headache and the fear was taken out of this experience. ,The locksmith was prompt, professional and nice. He made the aggravating experience of getting locked out of you own house a lot less stressful.

He answered my message promptly, came out the very next day. Was very professional with service and work. I didn't know that a double deadbolt counts as 2 locks, but was still happy to get the work done. 3 double deadbolt locks were rekeyed.

General Locksmith was on time, communicated perfectly and did a great job! Charlie is super nice and did wonderful work. His prices are fair (excellent, actually); you don't feel ripped off. He changed the lock (or re-keyed it or whatever it's called where you get new keys/different keys for the lock) and gave me 4 copies that work perfectly, testing each one. He ended up coming back right after he left because i realized that i needed a padlock cut off. Such a nice guy!

So pleased with General Locksmith Inc I am now a lifelong loyal customer. Professional, reliable and genuine. Wishing more south Florida companies lived up to these standards and happy to say General Locksmith Inc does. Called and got a same day estimate for lock repair or possible replacement. Charlie is very knowledgeable, fair and friendly. When I called to schedule an estimate he took time to answer all my questions over the phone and was up front with his prices. Not only was his price the best of 3 estimates, unlike other companies he was ready and equipped with the parts needed to fix and install that day. Also, to help lower the cost, Charlie took apart, examined and replaced only what needed to be fixed. I was grateful to not be spending the several hundred it would cost for a complete replacement of the locking unit itself. General Locksmith Inc is sincere company that you can trust and the needs of customers come first. Till next time, thank you Charlie and General Locksmith Inc!

Charlie showed up and was able to immediately access the problem. He repaired the deadbolt installation and now it is working properly. It took him less than 30 minutes to do it. He was courteous and professional, i would not hesitate to call on him again.
Description of Work: Repair of a previous deadbolt installation. I made the mistake of hiring a handyman to install a deadbolt and he was not able to install it properly so it would not lock. I called Charlie on Friday and he was able to fit me on Monday (he offered to come on Saturday or Sunday but I wasn't available).

It was not good. What happened is, he came and he did not fix the problem. He said he was going to come back and never came back again. He charged us too. We tried reaching out to him several times and he said he was waiting for parts. It was not a large amount. So we stopped following up on it. It was not expensive.

Response from General Locksmith Inc
Hello, I'm believe you have confused General Locksmith located in Hollywood, Florida 954-243-1381 with another company. Upon reviewing your complaint we have no history of this job request in our files. We never charge a customer for an incomplete job, no fees are ever paid to us for any work never finished, also we never begin work on a job if parts to complete the work are not available. We have no phone record of such a request to do this work, or of future contact to come and complete your request as indicated in the complaint. I believe this is a mistake, please contact us at our number 954-243-1381 if you believe you paid General Locksmith. If I have no response back from Mr. [Member Name Removed] with a current contact phone number, I believe this is an error and a spam review by competition. Thank you.

Charlie was great. He was professional, fast, fair, and he went above and beyond by readjusting plates on doors so they shut tighter and were more secure. He really care about the work and the customer. He treats it as his craft and he's excellent at it.

Called to have my front door lock re-keyed. I was given an estimated time-frame for him to be in my area. He called me when he was about an hour out. He showed up, and very quickly took care of business. I got 4 keys with the new locks. He was very nice and I always appreciate good service, which is hard to find sometimes in South Florida. When I told him I was referred to by angie's list, he gave me a great deal. I would definitely recommend General Locksmith and will use them again in the future!

A rarity in South Florida--he responded to my request within a few hours. When we spoke, he told me the price, which seemed reasonable for the work I needed. Although I was not in a rush to have the work done that day, he was near my neighborhood, and so he came later in the afternoon. He did the work as contracted, gave me a few pointers regarding my hardware, cleaned up, and honored his quote. A very painless experience, again, a rarity in South Florida. I will use him again when my doors are replaced.
