We do not hire sub contractors and Chris and Drake (father and son) complete all work themselves. We only work on a single project at a time ensuring quality results to your complete satisfaction.

"The quality of work that was performed was so far above what I expected! The extra detail touches that were added made my home Beautiful. The cord around for example, instead of a blunt cut they gave it a finished angle trim. A company that does that, well you should see the rest of his quality work! I promise you will be amazed and as excited about decision to go and trust your home with Penar! Thank you, I appreciate everything you did for my Home!"

BE CAREFUL of other locksmiths using names that make it appear that they are us. We are the original Myrtle Beach Locksmith Service L.L.C. doing business here for over 10 years. Other businesses (I call scammers) have changed 1 letter, or added one letter to our name. I would give examples of their names but that only increases their Google search standings. If you want an honest locksmith company, make sure you contact us. Some of them are felons. (do Google search for NMB Felon Locksmith) I have proof that I an not a felon and carry that proof always. I have taken and cleared more then 3 criminal records checks; have they? I know for a fact there is one owner of a locksmith business here at the beach that is owned by a felon. For what I hear and read is one of the nastiest things I have ever heard of from a Locksmith. Please Google search it before buying locksmith services. We make most computer chip keys, called TRANSPONDER keys. Keys usually made and delivered in less than 1 hour. I can order and drop at your door, any safe you desire @ 25% over wholesale, not 200% most charge. DBA: A A 1 A North Myrtle Beach, Little River Locksmith Svc. & Conway Locksmith Service

Lock out service

"My Resort Lock 4000 failed with the handle breaking. Guest could not get out of the unit. James did not hesitate and went to the unit at 8:30 PM and rescued my guest. He was very aware of my upsetting situation and did everything he could to ease my pain! He installed a temporary lock until he could get a programmable lock the next morning. Promptly came back the next morning and installed new lock. The most incredible part is he only charged me for 2 hours. Very professional, caring locksmith."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

When you take a key to a hardware store or a locksmith for copying, you can expect the key-cutting process to take as little as 30 seconds. The key copier will review your current key to decide on the correct blank. Then, your original key and the blank are inserted into a key duplication machine to cut an exact key copy. When it’s all said and done, you can have a new key in your hand in just a couple of minutes.

It could be difficult to get in and out of a lock for several reasons, such as the keyhole needing additional lubrication. Particles, debris, and dirt can also get into a lock, making a key stuck (the lubrication can help with the removal). 

Expect to pay between $50 to $200 if you hire a locksmith to change your locks. That figure includes labor and the cost of basic hardware. The cost will naturally be higher if you plan to install more expensive locks, like smart locks, and if you need a lot of them.

Homeowners can save money by replacing locks themselves. A typical rekeying kit costs about $10 to $25. The only additional cost is purchasing new house keys, and those are no more than a few dollars per key. If you want to replace the locks on your own completely, the main cost is the price of the locks themselves. A standard knob-style lock starts around $25, while electronic locks and smart locks will run in the hundreds of dollars. The only additional tools you should need are a tape measure, screwdriver, and screws if they are not already provided.

A deadbolt lock is typically considered more secure than a regular lock based on its internal construction. Each deadbolt type has varying levels of security, ranging from withstanding a small amount of force to those that can take on multiple strikes and greater force. Regular locks provide little to no security and are typically used more for easy entry and simple installation.

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.
