House Lockout Service
Getting locked out of your own home is one of those situations that catches you completely off guard — maybe you stepped outside to grab the mail on a cold Denver morning, your keys are sitting on the kitchen counter after a long shift, or the lock on your Capitol Hill apartment door finally gave out at midnight. Whatever the story, Trusted Denver Locksmith dispatches a trained, insured technician directly to your door, anywhere across the Denver metro, around the clock. We are a fully mobile operation, which means we come to you — no tow, no trip to a shop, no waiting for a building manager who may not pick up.
Open 24 hours, 7 days a week · Licensed, bonded & insured
Our house lockout service is built around one priority: getting you back inside safely, without damaging your door frame, lock hardware, or the door itself. That matters whether you rent a studio in RiNo, own a bungalow in Washington Park, or manage a multi-unit property near Colfax Avenue. Every call is handled by experienced technicians who carry the tools and knowledge to work with the full range of residential lock types — from basic door knob locks to high-security mortise lock systems — so the right technique is used every time, not just the fastest one.

Frequently asked questions
Can you rekey my house lock if I don't have the original key anymore?
Yes, absolutely. Losing or never receiving the original key does not prevent a rekey. Our technicians use professional decoding methods to determine the existing pin configuration inside your cylinder without the original key present. Once the lock is decoded, it is rekeyed to a new key of your choice. This is a common request after a move-in or a lost-key situation, and it is handled entirely on-site during a single visit. No need to replace the entire lock hardware unless it is damaged or you want to upgrade.
What are your business hours for house lockout calls?
We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year — that includes weekends, holidays, and the middle of a January snowstorm in Denver. There is no after-hours voicemail. When you call (704) 850-6756 at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, a real person answers and dispatches a technician. Response time varies by location across the Denver metro, but our mobile coverage is designed to keep wait times reasonable whether you are in LoDo or further out in Aurora or Lakewood.
How much does a house lockout service call cost?
We do not publish flat rates because the honest answer is that the final price depends on several real factors: the type of lock on your door (a basic door knob lock costs less to work with than a high-security mortise lock system), the time of day, how far the technician needs to travel to reach you, and whether any parts such as a replacement cylinder are needed. What we can promise is that your technician confirms an exact price before any work begins — no surprises on the invoice afterward. If the quote does not work for you, you are never obligated to proceed.
Do I need to prove I live there before you'll open my door?
Yes, and this is a policy we take seriously on every single call. Our technician will ask to see a photo ID with your name on it and, when possible, something that connects you to the address — a lease agreement, a piece of mail, or a utility bill works well. This step is not meant to be inconvenient; it protects you, your neighbors, and the integrity of our service. Verification is handled respectfully and efficiently, and it does not add meaningful time to the overall call.
Which states don't require a locksmith license, and does that affect the quality of who shows up?
It is a fair question. The United States has no federal licensing standard for locksmiths, and individual state requirements vary significantly — some states have formal registration or training mandates, while others, including Colorado, do not impose a statewide licensing requirement on locksmiths. That landscape makes it important to ask the right questions when choosing who to call. At Trusted Denver Locksmith, our technicians are trained and insured professionals with hands-on experience across the full range of residential and commercial hardware. Being insured means there is real accountability if something goes wrong — a meaningful distinction in an industry where requirements vary by state.
What payment methods do you accept for a house lockout or other locksmith services?
We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and cash for all residential lockout and locksmith service calls. Payment is collected after the work is complete and after you have confirmed the job was done to your satisfaction. We do not require payment upfront before the technician begins — the confirmed quote you receive before work starts is the amount you pay at the end. If you have a specific payment question before we arrive, just mention it when you call (704) 850-6756 and we will sort it out ahead of time.
