George took good care of my condo when I first moved in and efficiently, quickly changed all three locks. He was very informative, patient and everything was installed perfectly. I am grateful that he was able to come back and take care of my peephole camera for me, which was a huge help. I highly recommend lock monkeys and I most importantly respect George's recommendations he's always been spot on. read more

Well, it finally happened. Think you are ok with an electronic keypad? Think again! I went outside to warm up my car then came back inside and switched coats. Left my car and house keys in the first coat. Somehow my bottom lock got locked on my way out. Got in my car, "key missing". Hmm, go to house and punch in keypad, door won't open. Bottom lock locked and keys are inside. ‍ I call my friend from work to come get me. While I'm sitting in my car I search up a local locksmith, great Yelp ratings. He came out in the morning within 15 minutes of my phone call (!) and had my door open in hmm 10 seconds? Paid him in cash. I was off to work within minutes. I am incredibly impressed with the speed of service, his professionalism, and understanding! My friend didn't even have to end up getting me! read more

I received a quote 3 days in advance of my appointment for programming remote FOBs for 2 vehicles. I was quoted $211 per vehicle. I was told that quoted price was all-inclusive. The locksmith arrived 20 minutes early and was polite. He had difficulty with the FOBs for both vehicles, but completed both tasks. Imagine my surprise when he said I owed $40 above the quoted price because he needed "outside assistance." I paid the extra. Buyer beware! read more

I had a great experience with Lock Monkeys and highly recommend them! Recently I moved into a new house, and I only had one set of keys until I finally found a box of miscellaneous keys that the listing realtor had left behind, hidden in a cabinet. When I saw the personalized keys I realized that the locks in the house were probably the same ones that the previous owner have been using. I had no way of knowing how many copies of keys they had given to friends and neighbors over the years. (Personally, I know that when I have lived any place more than a few years, I have given at least three or four friends their own keys that were never returned when I moved out.) Plus, two of the doors have windows in them, and the single cylinder bolt could have easily been opened by simply breaking the glass, reaching in and flipping the bolt open. (I really don't understand why anyone would put such a low-security type of lock on a glass door/door with glass!) So, not only was I feeling uneasy about the fact that someone (or a neighbor) could be walking around with another set of keys to my house, but a criminal could easily break the glass and walk into my house. I ordered new double cylinder deadbolt locks from Home Depot (the kind that require a key on both sides of the door); I have always had double cylinder locks on the doors in my home since I was a child. If there is not a window near the door, we would just keep the key inside the lock and use it as a thumb bolt. If there was a window anywhere nearby, we usually tied it to a string and hung it close by so that we had easy access to unlock it in case of an emergency. (Anyone who rejects double cylinder locks as a "safety issue," in my opinion, has not considered enough options that keep double cylinder locks just as safe as any other type of lock.) Initially, someone offered to install the locks for me for me, but he didn't really know how to do the job, and I would later find out, there are issues with my doors. I called Lock Monkeys, and within a couple of hours Andy was at my house installing the locks that I had purchased. he was very pleasant and very professional. He also showed me how my doors were misaligned from their frames, past attempts at repairs had used caulk in some areas, and what he was able to do to secure my home without having to purchase new doors or frames immediately. (I bought the house in an "as is" condition and realized that I was going to have to make some changes and invest some money.) in the meantime, Andy did exactly what I needed him to do, which was to secure the doors that felt unsafe to me. He explained that when I replace the doors, the locks I've already purchased can transfer easily, and I might not need new doors at all but simply a carpenter to come and make some repairs. He made some good suggestions, and I don't feel like he was trying to "upsell" anything to me, because I also was interested, which is to have them come back out and install more secure door jamb reinforcements. To conclude this long winded review, I repeat that I highly recommend Lock Monkeys Locksmiths They were here quickly, did good work, plus Andy was friendly and professional. Thanks very much for helping me out so quickly! read more

A friend called for an emergency lockout. The type of lock was identified and price was agreed upon up front. George showed up and confirmation of residence was given and he opened the lock in a couple of minutes. No muss no fuss. George knew his craft, period! This is what a professional locksmith does! Yes call these folks if you have a lock out!!!! Less scrupulous locksmiths will: Never give you a up front price Will tell your lock is unpick able Will damage your door and lock Charge your a "trip" fee if you choose not to use them, when you didn't sign any paper work. Will always be expensive!! read more

Great work, dependable, friendly and punctual. I used them when I moved in and again recently after a vendor was discharged and "threw away" my key. Timing was critical in that case. read more

I had a problem with my starter and the key would not turn. Lock monkeys could have overpriced my problem and haggled with me. Instead they cut me a new key because my old one was worn down quickly, at an affordable price, and with great customer service. Price was more than fair, as anyone else was much higher. Service was prompt and at the time agreed upon. Between diagnosing the problem and cutting me a new key, the entire thing took 20 minutes. I highly recommend this company! You"ll be glad you chose them too. read more

Great service during a Saturday morning emergency! Went above and beyond expectations. Highly recommend this company.

What can you say? Customer service was awesome, George was very friendly, personable and made us feel at ease. Rekeyed all the doors quickly and since we just moved here, even gave us some great tips on good eating places. As far as price, very fair and should we ever have a need for a locksmith, this is who we'll go with every time. read more

I bought a car that had only one valet key. With only one and not even a master, I was anxious to have a couple more made. Lock Monkeys quickly responded, created a master and then duplicated that. Then made my original key a sub account of the new master and programmed all 3 FOBs. Lock monkeys put my anxiety at ease at a competitive price topped with very quick professional service. I am very pleased and highly recommend Lock Monkeys. read more

Worst company. I was referred here my by mechanic for my car. The owner did not tell me that he was closed and sent his friend over to fix my needs. The guy did not know what he was doing and messed my car up. Do not use these people read more

We called them, they came out on time and had the door unlocked within a minute or two. Excellent customer service, I'd highly recommend this company. Thank you! read more

Great service. One of the few locksmiths with an actual brick and mortar location as opposed to a guy with a van only. Got my replacement keys within 20 minutes of arrival and was in my way. Looked like they had the ability to handle most any key type/technology. Seemed to be knowledgeable of subtle difference in key types within the same make and models. read more

Great service! And local! George was so helpful and patient with us. We learned so much from him! Make sure the number you're calling is a locksmith and not a dispatch company who will charge you more than double of what you're quoted. If you're ever locked out, make sure to call Lock Monkeys because they are great, especially when everyone else I called was very rude. read more

I needed another key phob for my 2015 vehicle and the dealership wanted to charge me several hundred dollars for another phob & to program it. I ordered a phob off line and found George's business on yelp & called to see if they could program my phob & he said yes and at a rate less than the dealership. Within an hour, George came to my job, programed my key phob and cut me a spare key at the rate he quoted me over the phone. Most of all, he was soo friendly and nice to talk. Over the phone & in person, his customer service is awesome. I honestly give him an A+. read more

These guys are extremely reliable, honest, reasonable, and quick! They were here re-keying a lock within 30 minutes of my call. We will definitely be calling them again for our future locksmith needs! Thank you Lock Monkeys! read more

George just came out and took care of the mustang. My boyfriend locked his keys inside while running at 8:45am. I called LockMonkeys at 8:54, they answered quickly and said they'd be here in 20 mins. I sat outside waiting with my dog and 20 mins later I seen the van pulling in. It's clearly labeled so I felt more comfortable considering my boyfriend took my car to the airport instead. There's a lot of creepy folks and I felt at ease the entire time working with George. He asked for identification and then proceeded to unlock the doors. We've locked the keys inside once before and it took two different companies and 2 hours go get it unlocked. Literally 5 mins max. He quoted me a price, I told him about the $10 off I seen on Yelp, he reduced it by the $10 without any disagreement or pushback,gave me his card, and told me to have a blessed day. I was all finished before 9:30am . Great service and effective skill. I'm a realtor and work with plenty of folks so I can attest to his quality. Best decision I made all morning! read more

George is awesome!! Friendly, knowledgeable, Honest, and quick! I'm a new homeowner and I needed all my locks changed and he came by when I requested. He also swapped out the lock the next day because I needed to replace an entire decorative handle and keyed them all the same, so I'd have one key for everything, which is great and he didn't even charge me for that!! He really is the best! I will always use him and recommend highly. read more

We found George Rice on Yelp and chose him based on the wonderful reviews. He absolutely did not disappoint! Responded quickly to a lockout on a hot Saturday night. He was very knowledgeable and was able to repair the lock without any problems. George also provided good information on how to prevent future lock issues based on the lock type, as well as what to do in case the lock were to fail again. Would absolutely use him again for any of our locksmith needs! read more

Outstanding service! The owner is so genuine and offers security advice at your home without trying to sell. He spent time walking around our home making suggestions (that didn't include selling any of his products). Passionate about what he does and honest. Super reasonable prices. I wouldn't go anywhere else but here. read more

We called our Roadside Assistant company because the lock on our motor home broke inside so we were locked out....and our 3 pugs were inside. We were told that it would be about a half hour, but George was there within 15 minutes! Very refreshing to have such a quick response!! In the end, we weren't able to get the lock fixed because it's a specialty thing, but George went through a window so that we could get the door opened from the inside...to me this was above and beyond his "duty"! We were able to get back inside to our pugs and out of the heat, and had a nice rest before another full day of driving! Thanks, George, for taking such good care of us! No offense, but I hope we don't need you in the future, but if we do, while driving through Rock Hill, SC, well definitely call you...and only you!! read more
