"It was pretty simple I met them in a parking lot and they cut and programmed a new key for my ram truck. It was over three hundred and then I found an online locksmith gave them a photo of key and they cut the key and sent it to me with a programmer for less than 2oo."

We are family owned & operated business. Not counting the boss we have a total of 3 employees, 4 if you include the youngest in training but he only works once a week at the moment. The oldest son is the manager of the shop and then the assist-manager is the only one who isn't blood related. He has however been working with us since he was about 15, so is basically family

"2 bad back to back experiences. A few weeks ago I scheduled Alpine to come put a deadbolt on our door and they were a no show. 2 days ago, our landlord keeps going into our IT closet and I had Alpine come out to lock it so our server does not get shut off again. This morning the landlord showed up with a master key given to them from Alpine and entered the IT closet again. Don't worry that I have 125 businesses incubating in my space. I called Alpine and they said talk to the Landlord. Now the person I was trying to secure my IT closet from can access it again after paying 400 dollars to secure it. I am not EVER using or recommending this place again."

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Reno, NV

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.
