"I had an experience with few other locksmith companies in the past, and it was not so great at all. Needless to say, Joey Is the most professional and courteous by far. He arrived right on time, and changed quickly and efficiently our home locks. I will recommend Joey to anyone who I know needing a reliable locksmith service."

"I called 911 Locksmith Services for my new home, and they easily scheduled an appointment that was convenient for me. Dylan at 911 Locksmith and Security is experienced, knowledgeable, and professional with locks and security. I wanted to replace key locks with keyless entry on three doors. I also needed to match hardware to fit my personal taste. Dylan came on time for my appointment, and was prepared with everything needed for the job. After he started the work, I asked if I could add a door lock that I had neglected to include, and Dylan had no problem making a quick run to the warehouse to pick up what I wanted, and had all three of my doors finished and secure in one afternoon. After the work was complete, he took time to make sure I understood how each secure lock works. Thank you 911 Locksmith and Security, and especially thanks to Dylan for a job done well. I would recomment 9ll Locksmith and Security to anyone who wants new locks or keyless entry installed. They are the best!"

"I once read you should find a locksmith before you actually need one. I discovered a few days ago that was good advice. I had just moved and one thing I could not find was my my U-Haul storage space key. The It 10 X 10 foot temperature controlled room stored a chair and dresser which hasn’t been removed because I could not not find the key. After 3 $170 bills, key or no key I was moving out before another payment. Since Angie’s List is now free so I chose 3 locksmiths, asked for a call back the First company to return my call (within minutes) meet all my requirements: 1. I had to vacate by 5:30 that day or pay for another $175 month, 2. It was already 1:30 PM and I needed a locksmith by 3:30 PM 3. I wanted the lowest cost possible for a professional job, * The first callback was best from a company called «911 Locksmith Security» Paying $175 for unneeded space to due to a lost key had to end. The last day I could move out, I decided to find a locksmith that could open the lock by 3:30 PM so I could be out by 5:30. 1. Angie’s List was the first company I tried I where I the best price, service by 3:30, and $80 fee (later reduced to $70), 2. They kept me up to date on their estimated arrival, 3. My locksmith literally followed me in at precisely 30:30, 4. I had fastened the cylinder lock it with the key’s hole at the most difficult angle of attack, 5. I saved $100 in minutes. There was no transportation charge or other surprised. Just $70 to open my lock. This was my first time using a locksmith and everything exceeded my expectations. I now have a trusted locksmith in case the need arises again. My locksmith’s name was Fernando Tejada – extremely friendly, polite, accommodating, quick, well trained, 100% professional locksmith. He called 30 minutes before arrival and confirmed he’d be on time (and was, to the second). The U-Haul Manager watched and admitted to being impressed as well. My sincere thanks to 911 Locksmith and Security (911-locksmith.com) and Angie’s List (angieslist.com) for making me $100 richer while enjoying a rare perfect customer experience."

"I've actually used Firehouse Locksmiths 3 times now.. First was to replace / repair a deadbolt. Bruce fixed the existing deadbolt and I was able to return the new dead bolt I had bought. Second time was to replace the lower regular door knob/lock on an exterior door. The lock had jammed and would not budge. Bruce was able to unjam the lock and replace the intern parts. The next time he came to replace a deadbolt and rekey it to match my existing key.  Each time Bruce was right on time and the work was done well and the charges were reasonable.  <br /> I recommend Firehouse Locksmiths to everyone I know.  They are first class all the way. <br />"

"They showed up on time and the technician was very personable. He advised it took him a little longer to re-key the lock because it was still keyed to the master key from when the house was built. Even with that "longer" time, he was done within 30 mins. I asked for 5 keys and he provided them. <br /> I would use Aaron's Locksmith in the future. <br />"

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Dallas, 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.
