"I had an absolutely terrible experience with this place, and I would strongly recommend avoiding it. I called ahead for a simple key to be made for my 2009 car, and was quoted $45 over the phone. But when I got there, the price suddenly jumped to $144 due to various "add-ons" they conveniently didn’t mention upfront. Okay, fine, I decided to go ahead with it. I asked how long it would take because I had an appointment in an hour to release balloons for my girlfriend’s son who passed away. They told me 15-20 minutes. After waiting for more than 40 minutes, I went to check on the progress. That’s when I found out the person struggling with the key was actually the owner. I simply asked how much longer it would take, and his response? He told me I was “being pushy” and that I wasn’t helping the situation. I wasn’t being rude, I was just asking for a time update. At this point, I realized I was going to be late for my appointment , so I said I couldn’t wait any longer and would just come back. The owner got visibly upset and tried to tell me I still owed him for cutting the key, despite the fact that the key didn’t even work! I told him I wasn’t going to pay for something that was useless, and his response? He called me an “*******”! He tried to pressure me to pay for services that he didn't do. I asked if he was the owner, and when he said yes, I told him that’s not how you treat customers if you want to earn future business. It was honestly shocking to see such unprofessionalism, especially coming from someone who owns the business. He couldn’t have cared less about providing good customer service, and his attitude was completely disrespectful. If you want to be treated poorly, with terrible customer service, and a bait-and-switch pricing tactic, this is the place to go. But if you want to spend your money where you’re treated with basic decency and respect, take your business elsewhere."
FAQs for locksmith service projects in Marengo, IN

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.
