"I was locked out of my apartment late at night and needed urgent help. The technician arrived quickly and handled the lockout situation professionally without damaging my door. He explained everything clearly and made sure I felt safe before leaving. Pricing was fair, and the service was fast. Truly a lifesaver in a stressful situation!"

"Beware!! They quoted me one price but once they got there and I called their office the lady said it would be more. Then after multiple calls while they kept changing their story they refused to give me my full deposit back until they received a refund for the permit. I will absolutely never use this company. It was the biggest headache ever."

"If you?re considering having keys programmed here, read this first. We brought in a fully functional vehicle to program new keys. The technician failed to complete the programming but still charged us $80. When we tried to leave, the ignition would no longer turn. There were zero ignition issues before this visit. The key would not rotate and the steering wheel was locked. The car arrived drivable and left on a tow truck. The technician could not explain what happened and offered no solution. We arranged and paid for the tow, lost two full days, and spent several hundred dollars dealing with the aftermath. The owner, Jeremiah, ultimately provided no assistance or resolution. Very disappointing experience."

I have been in business over 34 years. I pride myself in doing excellent work at a reasonable price. I believe in communicating with my customers, having a friendly, honest, attitude and getting the work completed promptly. Please be aware that many service providers on Angie's List pay to get their company higher up on the list. I believe a company's reviews should determine where they appear on the list. I don't pay for preferential listing so my name appears lower on the list compared to other companies that have less favorable reviews. I work hard to get good reviews and I think my many reviews speak for themselves.

"This was the first time we used Nuno. We were impressed with his past favorable reviews, so decided to give him a try. He did not disappoint us. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and timely. Spent a lot of time answering our questions and gave us ideas for our next projects which we asked him about. We will definitely call Nuno again and will recommend him to others in need of a knowledgeable all around handy person that does great work."

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Fort Collins, CO

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.
