"Within At the very least 20 minutes of calling the business at first and setting up an appointment, the technician was at my front door. His professionalism and friendly demeanor outshined my grumpy negative attitude, regarding the situation, I put myself in. He explained everything technically that he had to do in order to open the door, the payment process was easy and again,!his arrival was very timely. Overall This was the best locksmith experience I’ve ever had. Thank you again."

"Thanks, Lance! I had a different locksmith out earlier in the day for another service and when I asked for the keys to be copied, they told me to go to the store. If I could have done that, I would have! One call to Lance and he was off like lightning to my office and cut the keys right there. I'll never call another locksmith again!"

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Portland, OR

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.
