Rudy’s Key & Repair Service

I don’t understand saying how great is this place and then only going 4 stars. Rudy’s is a full five-​star experience. I’ve been going since 1994 and it’s been the same crew there — with one son taking a brief break — of Mark and his two sons* ever since my first visit. So at this point, the combined experience and expertise is unmatched.
I have had dozens of keys copied without a failure, even making a key for my Thule rack when I didn’t have the original, and I’ve had Mark out to my office and home several times installing new locks or rekeying the old ones.
The cost has always been reasonable and the service terrific. Mark and the long haired son can be curmudgeonly but that just adds to the fun. Don’t let it put you off.
*Rudy was Mark’s father, I believe, and is no longer there so don’t be a dope and ask for him.

The guy that comes to your house, Mark I believe, is BEYOND awesome. He is courteous, fast, understanding, knowledgeable… he has rekeyed my house twice, as well as battle a stubborn locked chest, and I have been overly pleased.
The guy at the shop is a different story. I have been there twice now and both times he has been rude, unhelpful, slow and condescending. Its almost worth the call out for anything just to get the awesome guy.

Same-​morning service. I locked myself out of my car, started calling locksmiths, and the Rudy’s locksmith was there within 20 minutes and had me on my way shortly thereafter.
Clearly they value their customers’ time and money, as they were faster and less expensive than the other options I called. I’d recommend them to family and friends. They were awesome from start to finish.

Really prompt service. Called them Monday morning and they were out same day to key my home locks. Definitely recommend their service!

I am very sad to say that when we really needed help from our neighborhood locksmith, Rudy’s was, well — just plain rude. My husband pulled up in front of Rudy’s this morning because our daughter had accidentally locked herself out of her running car. Stranded and freezing she called her father. When he pulled up to Rudy’s at the same time as the owner, who exited his car at the same time, the owner did not even spare a glance at my husband. The owner unlocked the door. My husband explained the situation and asked «are you guys out and about today?». The owner said «Eventually» and went inside, and never came back. No «hang on one second» no «just let me open the shop» — nothing. He just shut the damned door. My spouse was mortified. Our daughter was freezing. Thank goodness Glen’s Keys was next on the telephone search list. They came right away. I was so disappointed to hear this about Rudy’s as they are in our neighborhood. But this was a clear indication that this company doesn’t give a whit about customer service. My husband was so mad he said he would, and I quote, «gnaw my own g** damned keys out of a metal stick before I would ever go back to that place again.»

Awesome lock service if you ever need them! Pleasant staff. Key copies and padlocks for every need.

Rudy’s Key service is awesome. I have made the mistake of going to the big box stores for my key copying and almost every time had to go back (sometimes multiple times) to get the key re-​made because it wasn’t done right the first time. Rudy’s is small, local and they get the job done right the first time. I use them every time I need keys done.

I have been stopping by Rudy’s to copy keys for years, but today I had them come to my house to re-​key locks and add an additional deadbolt.
The most important thing to me in a locksmith is honesty and trust, hell these guys not only have the keys to your house, they make them. All at Rudy’s are honest and professional.
I would use them again for any reason, but they are so good it is most likely not going to be necessary.
