"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

"Sal is the technician and he is amazing! I have 12 indoor knobs to replace and he finished all the work neatly within two hours, and, in addition, fixed my front storm door and my back door. He is very talented and super professional, and the whole process is very quiet without excessive noise (as I am having a meeting in my office). He also wore a mask and shoe covers. I am extremely satisfied with his service, and would recommend him to all the people who needs lock smith service in the area."

"Update to my 2018/2019 bathroom renovation - the tile they installed is now cracking and the grout is coming loose with many pieces falling out. This after being careful to seal and wipe after down after taking a shower. Having to remove all of it and redo. I initially gave a 5 star as looked good, but the quality of work was indeed sad in the end. Now looking to replace it after only 6 years. Highly disappointed."

"We had an amazing experience and highly recommend this organization- start to finish they took care of everything with an incredible thoughtfulness and thoroughness I find sorely lacking with other companies. Seth and Eddie were our point persons and they over saw a team of exceptional craftsmen (and women). Everything was done to the highest standard & in a high rise condo they had so many obstacles - but they were on time, budget and were a joy to work with. Shout out to the cabinetry artisans - they were so talented and even enjoyed the occasional visit from our French mastiff & Bulldog. I can’t speak highly enough about Seth & Eddie - we were in the loop every step of the way & they had solutions regardless of the obstacle. Thank you Revisions & we can’t wait to work with you again!"

"I have had Ryan help get me out of a bind several times. He has always been very professional. Quicker than I expected at a reasonable cost, I would and do recommend Consolidated Locksmiths to anyone that is locked out or in need of a key. They can do it all."

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Charlotte, NC

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.
