"Mike removed the defective lock mechanism and replaced it with a suitable lock mechanism that does the job. The hardware was different than the hardware that was about 50 plus years old. The important point is the new lock works and the house is secure"

"I was quoted $200 for a replacement key fob. I was charged $388. I was very clear about what I needed when I set-up the appointment, including the car model, make and year. I was quoted for a Mazda part and I was quoted for a generic part. I was told the only difference would be the logo. I chose the generic. i was left with a key fob that does not have a button for the tail gate, does not lock and unlock doors and stopped working after 1 day. The technician also kept pressuring me to purchase an additional key fob. I told him I do not have money, and he suggested I have someone transfer me the money. I called XPRO over 3 hours ago and have heard nothing about a technician coming to fix the problem. Thanks for the recommendation, Angi."

"My husband and I cannot say enough good things about how helpful John was. He was able to see what needed to be done and what didn't need to be done, and the easiest way to do them. His charges were much less than the other person we talked to. My sister had lived here well over 20 years and there were many things that needed to be fixed. John spent most of 2 days here. We are ready for the photographer!"

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Milwaukee, WI

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.
