"Steven, the locksmith who did the work for us, was friendly, helpful, determined to do an excellent job, and was so courteous that he quickly handled calls he received while doing the work for us. He even put off some just so he could do our work first and fast. Definitely, this is a worker I highly recommend."

"Matt of GoKey was very pleasant and on time. Offered me a bottle of water while i waited. This guy guy is really committed to his customers and strongly made a case for locksmith ethics. He could have sold me on a more expensive lock solution but steered me away from it because he did not think it was a good fit for my doors. Just because he could charge me more for not knowing, he did not. I would pay a lot more for service this good. Its worth it. He also showed up clean and happy to help.. This guy is the real deal."

"Rich worked hard to find the leak in my sprinkler system and to fine tune water pressure problems I had. He also had to change out some of the sprinkler heads. My sprinklers work great now. He was on time and he worked hard the whole time he was here. He came in at a price that I thought was very reasonable. Iâ m very happy with the work Rich did for me."

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Salt Lake City, UT

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.
