The Ranking

Our top 7 locksmiths in Denver

Denver's mix of 1900s brick homes in Capitol Hill and Park Hill, new condo towers downtown and a steady stream of renters makes rekeying, key fobs and after-hours lockouts a daily need. Most Denver locksmiths now work from vans, and many list a suite in an office building rather than a shop, so it pays to know what you are getting. Colorado does not issue a state locksmith licence, and Denver requires a business licence rather than a trade licence, so the check that matters is the company itself. Ask for photo ID when the technician arrives, a written quote before work starts and a local business address you can verify. Two companies here have a storefront you can visit, and five are mobile services, including one that stops at 10 pm. Read the concerns under each name before you call.

Methodology

How we chose the best locksmiths in Denver

We checked Google Maps data and company websites for Denver locksmiths on October 29, 2026. Each company had to be operating, rated 4.5 or higher from at least 50 Google reviews, have a working website with a phone number matching Google and a Denver address. Companies are listed in Google Maps order, not ranked by us. Because few Denver locksmiths run a public shop, we included mobile services with suite addresses and disclosed that on each page. We rejected listings in Aurora, Lakewood and other suburbs, a company whose photos were stock images, and listings with no website. No company paid for a place. Ratings and review counts were read on October 29, 2026.

Hiring

How to choose a locksmith in Denver

  1. Get a firm price on the phone

    Ask for the full cost of the job, call-out included, before anyone drives over. A real shop can quote a lockout or a rekey in one call.

  2. Ask for the business name

    Write down the registered name and the address. Many listings are call centres that pass the job to whoever is closest.

  3. Check ID when they arrive

    The technician should match the company you called, with a marked vehicle or ID. A reputable locksmith will also ask for proof that you live there.

  4. Ask about the method

    Most lockouts can be opened without drilling. If the first move is to drill and replace the lock, ask why before you agree.

  5. Get a written invoice

    The invoice should name the company, the parts used and the labour. Keep it in case the new lock fails.

  6. Ask about the warranty

    New hardware usually carries a manufacturer warranty, and the work should carry the locksmith's own. Get both lengths in writing.

Questions to ask before hiring

0 of 8 asked

Red flags

  • A very low quote on the phone that grows once the door is open
  • No business name, only a generic 'locksmith service' answer
  • Drilling the lock as the first and only option
  • An unmarked car and no ID
  • Cash only, with no invoice
