"He did a fantastic job on my grandma's 2014 Cadillac. She lost her key, so we had to have a new one programmed and a physical key made. He even gave us a few spare physical keys for free. He was courteous, friendly, and very professional. I would definitely recommend him."

"I was ripped off by one locksmith who left me with very poorly made master key system. James was quick to respond and was even able to arrive the same day. Very reasonably priced. If I ever need another locksmith, I will definitely call Peak. Thanks, James, I appreciate you!"

"I called to have a lock that was sticking adjusted. The technician was at my house within 30 minutes of my call, which was not necessary but appreciated. He was able to fix my lock with a set pin tool and everything is in working order. It took him longer to write up the bill than to fix the lock. The person who took my call did inform me that a service call was $55.00, however I did not need service ASAP. They charged $55 for the service call and $5 for labor. I marked the price ratings as fair, due to the fact that they did inform me of the fee, but I do think the price was too high. The service call price should include some labor. Overall the company did what I asked them to do and they came immediately, even though that was not required."

"He came out and did what we had asked. He also gave us some recommendations to some other things that we needed to have done; he was very informative. He repaired our fence. He also helped strengthened the fence with a tie wire. Four years later the fence is holding up just great."

FAQs for locksmith service projects in Seattle, WA

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.
