"We rekeyed two locks of my new home. Tim arrived on time and was able to rekey two locks and provide copies of the new keys in about 30 minutes. He was very professional and friendly. I would recommend Holt Lock & Key."

"I had a great experience with Hajji from Stellar Keys and Remotes. He came out to my house three different times to fix my son’s car, always showing up right on time and with a positive attitude. He even brought me an apple and a banana one day — which says a lot about the kind of person he is. The price was exactly what we agreed on, no surprises, and he even fixed the hood latch for free while he was here. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, honest, and genuinely kind. I highly recommend Hajji and Stellar Keys and Remotes to anyone needing car key or lock repairs."

"Needed a replacement key for my vehicle. Blaine Lock and Safe quoted the following pricing: *Service call of $19.99 and a new key charge starting at $95.00. When the technician arrived, the story changed to: *$29.99 for the service call and he disputed that I was quoted $19.99. He quoted $185.00 for the new key and stated that I would not find a better price. I also inquired on the website front page offering a 15% discount for locksmith services, and despite no small print clarifying the discount, he stated that my key was" ineligible" for the discount. I asked several times what made the fob ineligible and he provided only double talk. Next morning - although the fob worked, the small mechanical key inside did not work. I phoned the manager of Blaine Locksmith to receive clarification on pricing misquotes, mechanical key not working, and the website discount was not offered by the technician and disappointment in their service. Despite asking for manager, Blaine Lock & Safe had the original technician phone me to discuss. The conversation between Blaine Locksmith evolved into arguing and that as I did not ask for the 15% discount at the first phone call, the discount would not apply. When I restated dthat the technician said the key fob made the discount ineligible, the technician stood his ground. Furthermore, they were unwilling to clarify pricing misquotes or address concerns, however, this company is willingly happy to argue. Do not use this service"

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Foreston, MN

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.
