Myrtle Beach Locksmith Service LLC

Horrible - this jerk was aware I had NO keys - showed up - said without a key - couldn't do anything but take off 5 $300 lock / handle / deadbolt sets and SELL me cheesy silver plated Kwikset replacements - this scam artist did NOTHING - demanded $95 Was the most rude, unprofessional thief I have ever met - BEWARE - do yourself a favor - HIRE a honest / reputable locksmith - NOT THIS ONE !!! Consider yourself warned - don't get burnt

CUSTOMERS BEWARE! This guy was a total jerk to 3 women when he arrived on the scene; asked for payment over the phone using a credit card before he even knew anything which is sketchy to me so we opted to do cash after he arrived; Left me with my car alarm going off and only 1 door unlocked-had to crawl through the car to unlock other doors and he rudely demanded his $80 (he tried to quote $95 after he had already quoted $80 over the phone and it took him about 2 min to unlock the door) and spun out while snapping pictures of me standing in the parking lot. Very sketchy guy. Rated him on his Facebook page and was cussed out by him afterwards. He has proceeded to continually post pictures of us, use profanity under our pictures and harass us on Facebook. We have reported him to the police, Facebook and reviewed/rated him on every website we know to warn others.

Service on 8/8/2016. Rudy was great. He arrived on time and got busy rekeying the locks in our recently purchased home. He offered to provide as many keys as requested free of charge. Very professional. Took about 30 minutes. I'd highly recommend.

Rudy is amazing at what he does. He will ask you basic queztions so be ready to answer them. First, what is the name on the lock. If you dont know the have your keys to the lock handy. Also count how many locks you have. Keep in mind that you have a door lock and a deadbolt so that one door can have two locks. Then leave him alone. He does his job with excellence and is fast IF people are not bugging him. You can tell he loves his job and just wants to work and not socialize. I appreciate people like Rudy. Awesome job and I am very pleased with bis work. Can you ask for anything more?

Excellent! Very helpful and efficient. Came within 10 min

I had called him to help me get into a condo that I thought the people had left. When we got there they were still there and gave me a hard time but also the key. He was there approx. 25 minutes including the time he followed me home because I thought I had forgotten my check book. Halfway home I found it and stopped and paid him. He gave me the "Angie discount"..$80 instead of $90 dollar charge. He had every right to do this but ethically it was outrageous. He had a Little River phone exchange so I don't believe he went very far out of his way. I am a senior citizen and I felt overcharged. I would not ever call him again. He wasn't very pleasant.

After doing some research on deadbolts and their security levels, we chose Medeco. Why? Because they have the highest level of security, check their website Medeco.com and see that their keys are made in the good old USA. Our keys also cannot be copied by any one not even a locksmith. You will see on this website that the owner is a "Preferred Locksmith", he guarantees his work and locks for as long as he owns the business and he has been a locksmith for over 40 years. The locksmith was a true professional and finished up in a timely manner and cleaned up afterwards. He answered all our questions about the High Security proponents of these locks and surprised us by warning us of a locksmith and an owner that is a felon in our area. We really appreciated that. We knew these locks weren't cheap but we felt it was well worth the difference in price for our safety. He also included a 10% "senor citizen discount". Our deadbolts are in and we feel very secure at last.

He was on time and quickly changed the lockset with high quality residential materials. He explained the operation of the new locks and was very pleasant and helpful.

SMOOTH INSTALLATION

Had just purchased a rental home in North Myrtle beach and wanted locks changed on three doors. Called ahead and scheduled day and time and gentleman was there a few minutes early. He did a terrific job and explained it all as he was going along. Price seemed ok and the work was completed promptly and he supplied me with all the keys I needed. Very happy with performance of this company

I called,he came at the scheduled time,did his work, was a true professional !!!

I will never use this company again. The service representative asked questions apparently in "locksmith speak" because when he arrived, he scolded me for giving him the "wrong"information and then immediately tried to charge me double. I told him that I had only the amount he quoted and that was all I could pay. He ended up just changing 1/2 of the locks and I paid theoriginal amount for 1/2 of the work quoted. I was horrified by his attitude and will never use him again. I will say that he responded extremely quickly and promptly. Also, as soon as I pulled out my coupon, he again started to scold me that I didn't bring it out soon enough. But as soon as he saw that it was an Angie's List coupon, he became the sweetest person on the planet!!!!!!!!! Next time, I'll show it first thing (which was my original intention).

NOT professional at all. Appeared an hour early with no prior call as told. I absolutely didn't need him in the way with other contractors scheduled to put new handrails up on our ocean front tower, but he proceeded to block them from coming in and out as they needed. The request was to rekey (2) Schlage locks that were previously installed. First thing asked is how I'm going to pay, I said check, he said no I don't want to go to the bank. Then the orders came...I need a stool to sit on, I need a flat surface to put my case, I need better light ( ocean front sunlight @ 11am isn't bright enough?) He looks at the lock and said, oh you didn't tell me it was one of these. Yes I did! You're bill just went from $85 to $115. As he's reassembling the pieces he's telling me what a piece of junk I have..Walmart/Home Depot trash. The inside electronic wire is short in his opinion so this begins his rage and frustration...He begins dropping things, then tells me I have to hold the lock together for him since the piece of crap isn't going together....he needs scotch tape to hold it together? Then he proceeds to tell me my husband didn't know a thing about installing the lock originally because he left (4) screws out! No, we installed (2) more today and it's (2) screws for the cover not (6). This is #7 Schlage lock for us. Then he tells me he WILL get a drill from his truck to do it correctly or I can call my husband to come do it. By this time he is banging the door trying to get the cover to fit, dropping items, and raising his voice at me. So it turns into my fault! As he continued to test my husbands intelligence and getting louder to where the other contractors stopped to see what was going on, he slammed his case on the granite. I then demanded he leave once I checked to see if he had damaged the granite. He slammed out the door with the lock hanging in (3) pieces. The other contractor who was present had the lock together iin 30 seconds. And he's not a locksmith! He knew immediately was the incompetent locksmith had done wrong. We had a good laugh at how simple it was. The raging bull is going to blow a gasket, but it won't be with me........

His name was Rudy. What was so special was that he helped my 90 year old mother to get in the camper. She wouldn't admit it but I think he literally picked her up and put her in. He was helpful with other information. He went above and beyond what he needed to do. He was moderately priced. He said that he would be there in half an hour and he was there in 20 minutes. We would mostly definitely use him again.

When we contacted the owner of Original Myrtle Beach Locksmith Service L. L. C. about providing the locks for our new home, he chose to come over and see just what the house needed. When he suggested Medeco High Security Locks be installed, we agreed to get them knowing he knew the good quality. As soon as the locks were delivered to him, he called and made arraingments to come over and install all five locks. He was always on time and courtious. We were very pleased with his service, the price and his professionalism and would recommend him to anyone. When our builder checked the locks the next day he said they were the best locks anyone could have and the locksmith knew what he was doing because the job looked excellent. Not knowing any locksmith at all in the area, we were so happy that we saw the website for the Original Myrtle Beach Locksmith Service L. L. C. and were very impressed, and enthusiastic about the HONESTY represented there. There is truth in advertisement and they represent it, thank you.

n April I had just purchased a home in Myrtle Beach and wanted all new locks put in. The locksmith came out and put new locks on. We requested only one key for all locks so we paid the price $559.70 more than a washer. One of the locks didn't work so I called to tell him and he said he would be here. Well he never came and vacation was over we had to go back to Massachusetts. On the way back the locksmith calls to say he would be over. I told him we left that we were on our way back, that we had to leave the door unlocked because it didn't work. We just arrived again in Myrtle beach on vacation, so we called the locksmith, he gave me such a hard time. I tried to explain that we don't live here its just a vacation home right now. Telling us the warranty is up, I told him we live here and haven't been here to even use the lock. Never again will I call use him. He was yelling at me. I couldn't get a word in.

From the time I called he was here in less than 30 min. He explained what he was doing the best way to use product and made adjustments to door older unit home. He was very polite, this is the 2nd time I've used his services.
