"Going thru a scary divorce needed all locks changed and keys for myself and 3 kids. Also needed garage code changed. I am a custodian at minimum wage but safety was my priority. I now feel safer and we have our new set of keys. Fees were more than reasonable and I appreciated his work ethic and he is easy to talk to. I was a nervous wreck and he assured me this was a good step to take. Thank you so much. Highest rating. Amanda "

"The guy arrived on time ready to do the job. He was very efficient went over with me. The problems that I was having with my door and step-by-step. Show me what he needed to do to fix the power he replaced the parts that needed to be replaced and all of this did not take no more than an hour and a half. I am very happy with his work and I will be calling them out again for future services."

"This was a very positive experience. Gary answered the phone himself and came very soon after I called even though it was after "normal" working hours. He was knowledgeable and professional, replaced the lock quickly and the price was fair. Highly recommend."

We are a family run locksmith business with my husband being the exceptional locksmith and me handling the shop. We are trustworthy and prompt with our appointments. We are the only local locksmith co. that always offers free delivery on all our safes locally and we serve the Pinellas county area but have went to Pasco and Hillsborough for some of our customers too. We do not charge an hourly wage with a service charge like some locksmiths and our service charge is normally incorporated into the work we are doing. Most of our customers are return customers and word of mouth new customers. We are constantly recommended by our former or regular customers. People just love how conscientous the locksmith is with his work. Some have called in to say how nice and friendy and efficient he is. We were formerly on West Bay Dr. for years but they sold the building our business was in so we are approx. one mile east of our former shop before you get to Highland heading east. We are on the north side of the road in a plaza called Royal Plaza. Come on in and see us!\nWe are proud of our shop and people have, many times, said they had never been in such a clean, well organized locksmith shop! We also have a great record of making keys that actually work! lol Oh yes, we also have a copy machine where you can make single or double sided sheets for 4 cents a copy. It is not color though. But,come on, what can you get for 4 cents these days? Anyway, for the best locksmith and service ever call us here at Suncoast Security, Inc.\n\nNote: We offer free delivery on safe sales locally but mention this ad for free bolt down service too.

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Clearwater, FL

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.
