"Great job! I had disassembled an exterior touchpad-type of door lockset for what seemed would be an "easy" DIY adjustment to a loose thumbturn. After encountering some unexpected difficulty, I disassembled some more parts. Realizing that the thumbturn had no adjustibility, I proceeded to reassemble the unit, but I did it wrong so that the key got stuck in the cylinder. After some more fiddling and disassembly, the key cylinder totally fell apart and became a pile of tiny springs and pins -- the "tumblers" that fit to the pattern of the key. (Google images for "5-pin key cylinder" and look at the complexity of this little thing!) It seemed I had gone beyond "the point of no return". So, I called High Speed Lock expecting to pay for a new cylinder and key. Erik arrived on time, looked at my collection of parts, and said he could rebuild the cylinder. After a few minutes in his truck, he reinstalled all the original parts, except for new springs and pins inside the original cylinder housing. The original key still works, and the lock is back to normal. For a very reasonable price, I got great service and learned a few lessons too."

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Cincinnati, OH

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.
