"I contacted Rapid Locksmith Pros to rekey the doors to a store we just rented out because the old tenants didn?t leave out the old keys. We were under the impression we would have to switch out the locks but was happy they were able to make us new keys keeping the same locks on the doors. Great service 5/5"

"Jay's Locksmith was great.  He called me back right away.  He recommended that I buy the lock myself to help save me money.  She showed up on time and completely the job accurately and professionally.  I was also very pleased with the price for his services.  I would recommend him to anyone that needed help from a locksmith.  Thanks. <br />"

"It was great!  The drilling of the hole for the deadbolt and the installation of the deadbolt was done very professionally.  Because of his good work on the deadbolt, we asked him to replace the door knob on the front door.  The front door was no easy task, as it was a door knob from the 1970s.  He had the right equipment to increase the size of the hole and stayed over to do the front door.  Very happy with the quality of the work.  We have more work to do with the door locks and knobs and we are going to rehire this company and locksmith. <br />"

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Saint Petersburg, FL

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.
