Coverage across the city

Where we work

Boulder splits into very different jobs — student rentals around University Hill, Victorian houses on Mapleton Hill, family homes through Table Mesa and Martin Acres, and businesses downtown off Pearl Street. Different hardware on every street, and we work all of it.

We come to you: home, work, a CU lot, a Pearl Street garage, a trailhead car park, or the roadside on Canyon. Anywhere inside Boulder, you are in our area.

Questions

Questions we get asked

Can you get into a car in a Pearl Street garage?

Yes — the Pearl Street garages, CU lots and the car parks at Chautauqua and the trailheads are regular calls, the same day.

Do you work on older locks in Boulder’s historic houses?

Constantly — Mapleton Hill and Whittier have plenty of original hardware. If a cylinder is too worn to rekey properly, we say so rather than force it.

How fast to Table Mesa or Gunbarrel?

We run Boulder and the north metro all day. Give us the cross-streets on the call and we give you a real window.

Are you available overnight?

Yes — open 24 hours, with the emergency line answering 24 hours: nights, weekends and holidays included. a late lockout is a routine job. Call (720) 767-1248, seven days a week.

What do I need for a new car key?

Proof the vehicle is yours — registration or title in your name — plus photo ID. That protects you as much as it protects us.

Will you damage the car or the door?

Non-destructive entry is the standard. We use the correct tools for the vehicle or the lock so nothing is scratched, bent or drilled. Where a job genuinely cannot be done non-destructively, we tell you before we touch anything.

Locked out tonight?

One call, one van heading to Boulder — the same day.
