Commercial Lockout Service

Yes, and this is one of the most common requests we receive. When a business changes hands, a key goes missing, or an employee leaves under difficult circumstances, waiting for an original key is not practical. A skilled technician can disassemble the lock cylinder — whether it is a mortise lock body, a door knob lock, or a deadbolt — decode the existing pin stack, and rekey it to a new key without any damage to the hardware. The process works on most standard and high-security commercial cylinders. We carry the pin kits, follower tools, and key gauges to do this on-site in a single visit.

Absolutely. While this page focuses on our commercial door services, we also handle automotive lockouts and key replacement. If you have lost every copy of your car key, our technicians can generate a new key by cutting to code using the vehicle identification number, or by decoding the lock cylinder directly. For vehicles with transponder chips or smart key fobs, we carry the programming equipment to pair the new key to the car's immobilizer on-site. Make, model, and year affect the method and equipment required, so let us know those details when you call.

Several factors shape the final quote: the type of lock hardware (a standard door knob lock is simpler than a full mortise lock assembly), the time of day the call comes in, the distance our technician travels to reach you in the Denver metro, and whether any replacement parts such as a new cylinder or keys are needed. We give you a confirmed, exact price before a single tool comes out of the bag. There are no surprise charges added after the job is done.

Our dispatch line is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — including Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and every holiday in between. Denver's weather and business schedules do not pause for the calendar, and neither do we. Whether you are locked out of your Colfax Avenue storefront at 3 a.m. on a Sunday or need a mortise lock rekeyed on the afternoon of July 4th, the same trained technicians are available. Call (704) 850-6756 and a live dispatcher — not a voicemail box — will answer.

We accept all major credit and debit cards, cash, and most digital payment platforms. Payment is collected after the job is complete and after you have reviewed and approved the work. We will never ask for full payment upfront before your door is open and your lock is functioning. If you have any questions about payment options before we arrive, just mention it when you call and our dispatcher will confirm what works best for your situation.

Colorado is one of the states that does not require locksmiths to hold a state-issued license to operate — so the question of 'which states don't require a locksmith license' is relevant here, and Colorado is on that list. That makes it even more important to ask the right questions when you hire anyone. Our technicians are trained, experienced professionals who have worked on the full range of commercial hardware found across Denver, from mortise lock systems to modern access control. We are insured, we carry proper business documentation, and we verify your identity and authority before beginning any work. These practices matter more than a state license number because they reflect real accountability on every job.

The term American Locksmith generally refers to locksmiths who trained and operate within the United States and follow domestic industry standards for tools, techniques, and professional conduct. Reliable Denver Locksmith is a locally operated, mobile locksmith service based in and around Denver, Colorado. Our technicians know the city — the tight alley access behind Capitol Hill storefronts, the older mortise lock hardware common in Five Points buildings, the high-traffic commercial strips along South Broadway. We are not a national call center that routes your job to an unfamiliar subcontractor. When you call (704) 850-6756, the technician who shows up works for us directly.
