What's Included

Everything we offer under this service — all performed by licensed, mobile technicians who come to you.

🔓

Home Lockout Service

Locked out of your house or apartment? We dispatch immediately — 24/7. Non-destructive entry using professional picks and bypass tools. No damage to your door or lock in the vast majority of cases.

🔑

Lock Rekeying

Moving into a new home? Just had a breakup or fired a housecleaner? Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. It's faster and 40–60% cheaper than full lock replacement. Our most popular residential service.

🔐

Lock Installation & Replacement

We install and replace all grades of deadbolts, entry sets, and door hardware — from basic Grade 2 to ANSI Grade 1 high-security locks. Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and more.

📱

Smart Lock Installation

Upgrade to keyless entry. We install and program Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, Yale Assure, and August smart locks — including Z-Wave and Zigbee integration with your smart home system.

🗝

Master Key Systems

One key for your home, different keys for family members. We design and key residential master key systems for multi-unit homes, vacation rentals, and property investors.

🚪

Door Hardware & Repair

Stiff locks, misaligned doors, and broken door frames are security vulnerabilities. We adjust, repair, and replace all residential door hardware — hinges, door closers, strike plates, and more.

Serving Every Corner of Northern Colorado

Fort Collins is one of Colorado's fastest-growing cities, with new residential developments in Timnath Ranch, Fossil Lake Ranch, and along the Harmony Road corridor adding thousands of new homes annually. Our residential locksmith team serves every neighborhood — from the historic Victorian homes of Old Town to the master-planned communities of Southridge and Provincetowne. We understand the local housing stock: the older Schlage B-series deadbolts common in 1980s Fort Collins builds, the Kwikset SmartKey locks popular in newer developments, and the smart lock upgrades increasingly requested in the Rigden Farm and Registry Ridge neighborhoods near the Poudre River Trail.

Common Questions

FAQ — Residential Locksmith

How quickly can a residential locksmith arrive in Fort Collins?
Our average arrival time for home lockouts in Fort Collins is 25–35 minutes. We're mobile and dispatch immediately upon your call. For Loveland and Windsor, expect 30–45 minutes.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pin tumblers of your existing lock so that old keys no longer work — new keys are cut to match the new pin configuration. Lock replacement installs an entirely new lock mechanism. Rekeying is 40–60% cheaper and is ideal when your lock is in good condition but you want key control — like when moving into a new home.
Do I need to be home for a locksmith to rekey my locks?
Yes — for residential rekeying, we require the homeowner or an authorized person to be present with a valid photo ID matching the address. This policy protects you from unauthorized rekeying.
Can you rekey my locks to all use the same key?
Absolutely. Keying multiple locks alike — also called 'keying to match' — is one of our most common requests. We can rekey all your door locks, deadbolts, and even padlocks to operate on a single key.
Does 970 Locksmith service apartments in Fort Collins?
Yes. We serve apartments, condos, townhomes, and single-family homes throughout Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Timnath, Johnstown, Wellington, Greeley, and Berthoud. We work with both tenants and property managers.
How much does it cost to rekey a house in Fort Collins?
A full home rekey (3–5 locks) typically costs $175–$350 depending on the number of locks and lock brands. We offer move-in specials for new homeowners. Call (970) 397-2002 for an exact quote.
