Panic Bar & Exit Device Service

Yes — and this is one of the more common situations we encounter on commercial properties, especially after a change in tenants or staff. Rekeying without the original key requires the lock cylinder to be removed from the door and disassembled using professional tools that are specific to the trade. Our technicians then re-pin the cylinder to a new key code of your choosing. The process works on most cylindrical locks, mortise lock bodies, and the exterior cylinder trim on panic bar and exit device systems. It is a legitimate, non-destructive service that restores your control over who holds a working key — no drilling, no damage, no replacement of the entire lock unless the cylinder itself is worn or damaged.

Absolutely. Losing every copy of a car key is more common than most people expect, and it does not mean you need to go through a dealership. Our technicians can originate a new key for most vehicle makes and models directly from the vehicle's door or ignition lock, or by using the vehicle identification number and our key-cutting equipment. For transponder-equipped vehicles, we also program the new key to the car's immobilizer system on-site. The process, the equipment used, and the final price will vary depending on the vehicle make, model, year, and key type — we confirm the exact price before any work begins. Call (704) 850-6756 and have your VIN ready to help us prepare.

There is no single flat rate for panic bar installation because the scope of work varies significantly from one door to the next. Factors that shape the final quote include the type and grade of exit device being installed (a rim-mount device versus a mortise lock exit device involves different labor), whether the door requires new prep work or mortise routing, the number of doors in the project, whether after-hours or emergency service is requested, and travel distance within the Denver metro. What we commit to in every case is providing an exact, confirmed price before any work begins — so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Reliable Denver Locksmith operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including weekends and holidays. Commercial exit hardware failures, lockouts, and security concerns do not follow a 9-to-5 schedule, so neither do we. Whether you need a panic bar repaired at 2 a.m. or a mortise lock exit device installed first thing Monday morning before your tenants arrive, you can reach a live dispatcher by calling (704) 850-6756 at any hour.

We accept major credit and debit cards, cash, and electronic payment options. Payment is collected after the work is complete and you have confirmed you are satisfied — though as noted, we always provide and confirm the price up front before starting any job. If you have questions about payment options for a specific service or a larger commercial project, just ask our dispatcher when you call.

Locksmith licensing requirements vary widely across the country — some states mandate state-level licensing with background checks and testing, while others leave it entirely unregulated at the state level. Colorado does not currently have a state-wide locksmith licensing requirement, which means anyone can technically advertise locksmith services in Denver. That makes it especially important to ask the right questions before hiring: Is the technician insured? Do they carry commercial hardware inventory? Do they provide a confirmed price before starting work? Can they demonstrate familiarity with the specific hardware — such as a mortise lock exit device or a panic bar with mortise lock — your property uses? Our team is insured, trained on commercial and residential hardware, and transparent about pricing on every call.
