Penar Improvements is family operated with over 30 yrs experience. We are a licensed South Carolina residential builder that specializes in Kitchen and Bath projects. 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

Various types of deadbolts are available, from the classic single-cylinder lock to a double-cylinder, rim deadbolt, smart deadbolt, and electronic deadbolt lock. Most homes in the U.S. use a single-cylinder deadbolt lock, which requires a key on the exterior and only a thumb turn on the interior to open or close the lock. 

Many local hardware stores have the equipment to copy basic keys at a low cost. Some locations may have freestanding machines where you can pick out a blank and insert it and your original key into the duplicating machine.

If your door handle turns without opening, the most likely culprit is a loose or stripped spindle. This part connects the handles to the latch mechanism, and when it’s not properly engaged, turning the handle does nothing. Other issues might include a broken latch, loose screws, or even something small blocking an inner mechanism. In any case, it’s usually a matter of tightening, adjusting, or replacing a worn-out part inside the handle assembly—or calling in a professional to do it for you.

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.
