Sometimes God puts people in each others paths to be a blessing. And truly Eli was a blessing to our household today. We have storm tight windows and doors and after making many phone calls to see how we could get a technician dispatched today, there was no success. You would think that you spent thousands of dollars in windows and doors, you would have a solid warranty that would help you in times of need. Our front door lock jammed and Stormtight basically abandoned us. My husband had to relay to Alicia on the phone that our front door was not closing and this is a security issue. She said that someone would call us by the next business day to address the issue. So what happens to us with an open front door overnight? Eli from General Locksmith in Hollywood came within 10 minutes of my calling him. He was able to fix the jammed door lock in less than two minutes! He was very knowledgeable about the door lock mechanism and I am super happy that I called the General Locksmith company today. Please give Eli a bonus for his excellent service. He truly deserves it. If you are looking for a locksmith in the Hollywood area or anywhere nearby for that matter, please give them a call. Excellent customer service, fast and responsive, and best all around!!! Thank you Eli!!! read more

General Locksmith - Love the New Technology Today - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Recently, my mother in law moved in to my building. My best friend and I were helping her get settled in. We were scrambling to find a locksmith that would be able to copy this one particular antique key. Charlie from General mobile locksmith went above and beyond the Call of Duty. You see, my friend and I are disabled. Charlie was very accommodating to us and our needs. He worked tirelessly trying to assistance us and would not give up until that one key had been duplicated. Because the key was so old, the process took a long time to complete. When the key was done, Charlie was nice enough to bring the key to my home.

5 star customer service! Charlie was quick, efficient and extremely professional in providing his rekeying service to me. He ensured that I knew exactly what I was getting in the purchase and even showed me a way of using the lock that would extend its life. And there's more! On top of all that, when I discovered that my lock needed more than just rekeying, he was available and ready to come back and help me determine what the problem was, and provided the solution ( at a discount!). He went even further in solving the problem by doing a few screw replacements that had nothing to do with the lock... I am extremely impressed with his customer service and his attitude shows that getting the job done 110% is a top priority for him.

Called General Locksmith on a Saturday during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend because I needed to change the deadbolt on my front door. I turned to my fellow Yelpers to find a reliable locksmith and saw that not only did General Locksmith have the highest ratings, but they also had a sweet deal on Yelp. One hundred and twenty-five bucks for two hundred dollars worth of services! I jumped at the offer and called General Locksmith. The owner, Charlie answered my call on the first ring and was at my front door within one hour of my phone call. He was honest, fast and did a really good job matching the deadbolt to our front door handles, so I didn't have to spend a fortune replacing the entire set. He changed the deadbolt AND gave me FOUR copies of the key within 15 minutes of arriving at my house to change the lock. I highly recommend General Locksmith and also suggest you have his number saved on your speed dial list, as you never know when you are going to find yourself locked out.
