"I was very happy with the service I received from the 911 locksmith company. The dispatch person gave me an estimated arrival time, and the locksmith updated me with the phone call and text before his arrival. He was able to resolve both problems, and advised me as to the solutions and let me choose what work he would perform. Both problems were solved to my satisfaction, and the repairman was polite, neatly dressed, and easy to understand. I’m very happy with the service I received."

"I had recently moved and I had 3 doors, but only 1 key to one door that did not work for the others. I bought the $120.00 special for 6 locks re keyed on 09/14/2015, I heard back from them on 09/16/15 and service was done on 09/17/2015. Randy was very professional and friendly at the same time. Service was exceptional. Would definately  recommend and use them again if I need locksmith service. Great Job! <br />"

"It went well. Scheduled and they came two days later. He was quick and punctual. I got four new keys. I am actually already scheduled to use them again for other locksmith services this week. So that speaks in how much I trust them to do a good job. <br />"

"We were so pleased at the prompt, courteous service we received from Martin Locksmith. The locksmith, Anthony Royse, knew exactly what to do to fix the broken door knob and had the right part on his truck. We would highly recommend him."

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Arlington, TX

The installation timeframe varies based on door preparation and lock complexity. For doors already prepared with appropriate holes, installation might take 15 to 30 minutes. New installations requiring drilling take one to two hours. First-time DIY installers should allocate additional time to ensure proper alignment and function. Professional locksmiths complete standard installations efficiently due to their specialized tools and experience.

Most residential doors can accommodate deadbolts, but certain door types present challenges. Solid wood and fiberglass doors accept standard deadbolt hardware, while metal doors require specialized drilling equipment. Hollow-core interior doors lack the structural integrity to properly support deadbolts without additional reinforcement. Doors should be at least 1⅜ inches thick to properly house standard deadbolt mechanisms.

Door warranties remain valid when deadbolts are installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines. However, improper installation that damages the door structure might affect warranty coverage. 

Before modifying any door under warranty, review the documentation for specific limitations or requirements regarding hardware installation. Some manufacturers provide templates or guidelines for acceptable lock placement to maintain warranty protection.

Rekeying offers a more economical alternative to complete replacement when you need to change access, but the lock mechanism remains in good condition. This process involves reconfiguring the internal pins to work with a new key while retaining the existing hardware. For homeowners with multiple locks, rekeying provides the convenience of using a single key for all entry points while maintaining security.
