DO NOT USE "RUN LOCAL LOCKSMITH" for any services....they are a complete scam and rip-off.....they overcharged me on a recent bill for service over a week ago and I still have not been able to reach the manager to request a refund of the difference.  I have left numerous voice mails and emails and to this day, no response.


 


The technician's ability was questionable as he had to come out to the house twice to fix the original problem.  His work was shoddy, at best.


 


When I called the "local" number to get a business address (to eventually file a BBB complaint) they were EXTREMELY hesitant to give it to me, but when I said I needed to mail them a check, they gave me a PO Box in Peoria, IL.  I have subsequently filed a BBB complaint against the company.  


 


They state on their web site they are local, however, they appear to be just a national clearing house that contact questionable (probably not licensed!!) local locksmiths that essentially charge their own fees once they arrive at your house to perform the service, after they sucker you in with a "$29" locksmith fee. 


 


Again, recommend you DO NOT USE "RUN LOCAL LOCKSMITH" for any services........

Run Local Locksmith verifies me before unlocking the door!!

AUTHOR: jennifer.moss38 - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, February 08, 2011

I called Run Local Locksmith for unbolting the main door of the house. My husband had taken it with him by mistake on his week long trip. The other set was at his office whose key in turn was inside the house. I was quite amazed to find the locksmith ask me to prove that this is my house before he begins to open the locks. Usually, it is the locksmiths who are expected to show their IDs or licenses only. Thankfully, I had the car papers as well as the driving license which proved the same. After opening the lock and taking he apologized for inconvenience and narrated the reasons for asking the same. It is good to see such professionalism by the company for enhanced security. Other companies shall also emulate the same and the customers shall cooperate as well.

Run Local Locksmith ran to save my life.

AUTHOR: johnbowis - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, January 03, 2011

I must admit that I received help from a very unlikely source in the most crucial juncture of my life. I got trapped inside my car when it met with the accident. Central locking system got jammed. The people came rushing in but I could not move since leg was struck and it was bleeding. A person from the people who had gathered nearby called a locksmith, who opened the car door and rescued me from inside it. The doctor later told me that I had received a very timely help and more bleeding could have contributed to low blood pressure. The person who called the locksmith told me that the person was from Run Local Locksmith, who literally ran to save my life.

run local Loksmith saved loss of a work day

AUTHOR: adam Hudson - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, December 27, 2010

I have taken the services of a locksmith from the Run Local Locksmith Company in the recent past when I had some error in my bio-metric security system. Frankly, I did not believe that I can get it mended in so less a time! I was thinking that the whole day will be lost since the access door for the some of the employees did not open up and they were kept waiting outside until the door was opened by a special locksmith.

 

 

It is quite amazing that the internet resources carry all that trash opposing this company. I think there is some highly disgruntled source behind this vengeance filled conduct of making totally false and baseless complaints against the company.

Fast response Run Local Locksmith service

AUTHOR: Sandra Davis - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, December 25, 2010

I left my three year old kid in the room and went to the kitchen to take the food. Due to the force of wind, the door of the room got bolted automatically and my kid got locked up inside the room. The lock required the key to get unbolted from outside of the room and, to add to the problem, I got the key locked up inside the room as well.

Though I could see what my kid was up to from the window, I had to seek locksmith help. I found Run Local Locksmith while searching through the net and called them. Thinking that it might take them some time to come, I tried opening the window panes for reaching the door lock. To may astonishment, the locksmith was here within the next 15 minutes and he did not take more than 10 minutes to open the door. So, the problem was solved with a remarkable speed.

Best and affordable -- Run Local LockSmith

AUTHOR: Paul Smith - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, December 08, 2010





Let me be honest. When I called the locksmith from the Run Local Locksmith company, he was indeed there in the next 15 minutes. The person did take some time to rekey the door but I think it was due to his measured and careful approach. And, he was carrying his locksmith license as the proof his authenticity.

Best Services are offered by Run Local Locksmith

AUTHOR: James Canada - (Canada)

POSTED: Tuesday, November 02, 2010

I agree with the services offered by Run local
locksmith are great and worth the amount spend . They offer a variety of services at
reasonable cost with a lot of efficiency and in
specified time. They offer Lock installation, lock
repair, and installation of all types of locks. They carry locks for all
of your security needs. They charge a $19 service fee for every
customer visit they make. The total cost of your job will depend on the
services rendered as labor plus materials purchased along with
the $19 service call. They have great prices with great customer
service and you benefit from there fantastic 15-minute response time,
which is the time from which your call is received until the time that
your locksmith is dispatched. They offer a 90-day guarantee on all of
our work. They have clearly mentioned in there
website http://www.run-local-locksmith.com/ that the charges $19 are
service charges of technician going to someones place then other
charges are based on the services and type of installation. Now these
charges as you said are too high are generally levied by any locksmith
company. This is a reasonable and normal cost in keeping this
consideration that the services are too great.
