"Caleb is honest and does not try to make the most money he can by over selling a new door lock. He fixed our old lock, by really examining what was wrong with it (bent center rod) and bent it straight as a temp fix. When we get a new front door, we will call Caleb to install a new lock. Great to believe in someone's work ethic to do the best for the customer before his own . Caleb earned every star I gave him."

"Joshua did an outstanding job!! He was professional and informative about his work. He explain the errors the other locksmiths I had in the past. He even fixed all of my companies keys to the back door. We also called him directly back a second time for our front door. Someone tried breaking in and they broke the lock. He came out right away a fixed it without an appointment. Now that’s great service if you asked me. I would highly recommend this company to anyone business or residential.

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Sacramento, CA

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.
