Learn moreProblems We Fix
Most calls start with a problem, not a service name. These are the ones Provo locksmith calls are made of, and how each one gets solved.
Keys on the kitchen counter, a car that locked itself, a dead keypad on the office door. We open homes, vehicles, and commercial doors with picks, bypass tools, and air wedges first, and we check ID and proof of residence or ownership before anything opens. See house lockouts and car lockouts.
AAA data Vehicle lockouts were 10% of all AAA roadside calls in 2024 (AAA Mountain West Group).
A lost house key is a security problem, not just an inconvenience, especially if it was on a ring with anything that shows your address. Rekeying makes every old copy useless without replacing your hardware, and we can key all your doors to one new key in the same visit. See lock rekeying.
Bureau of Justice Statistics In 8% of no-force burglaries of empty homes, the burglar used a key to the residence.
Modern car keys carry a chip that has to match the car's immobilizer, so a key that is cut but not programmed will open the door and still won't start the engine. We cut and program transponder keys, remote head keys, and push-to-start fobs at the vehicle for most makes and models. See car key replacement.
Highway Loss Data Institute Engine immobilizers went from standard on 9% of 1990 vehicle lines to 97% of 2021 lines.
Worn keys snap, usually at the worst moment. Forcing the stub with tweezers or glue tends to push it deeper and damage the wafers or pins. We pull the broken piece with extractor tools, check the cylinder for damage, and cut a working replacement from the pieces or by code. See broken key extraction.
How we fix it Extraction first, then a new key cut on site, so the lock usually stays in the door.
A key that fights you is a warning. Common causes are a dry or dirty cylinder, a sagging door that pulls the bolt against the strike, or moisture that freezes inside the lock on a cold night. Most of these are repairs, not replacements, and fixing them early keeps a key from breaking off. See lock repair.
NOAA climate normals Provo's normal January low is 23.8°F at the BYU weather station (1991 to 2020 normals).
After a burglary the first job is making the door secure again tonight: resetting or replacing the lock, reinforcing a split strike or jamb area where possible, and rekeying anything a burglar may have taken keys to. We can usually make an entry door lockable the same visit. See emergency locksmith service.
Utah BCI, Crime in Utah 2024 Provo police logged 78 burglaries in 2024, and the Bureau of Justice Statistics finds the door is the most common point of attack in forced entries.
Forgotten combinations, dead keypad batteries, and worn bolt work all end the same way: your documents or firearms on the wrong side of a steel door. We open safes by manipulation or keypad bypass where possible and drill only as a last resort, with a repair afterward. Ownership is verified first. See safe locksmith service.
UL Solutions Even a basic UL-rated gun safe (RSC Level 1) is tested against a 5-minute hand-tool attack.
Worn mortise locks, sagging closers, and panic bars that no longer latch leave a storefront either insecure or out of code. We repair and replace commercial hardware, adjust closers, and install lever trim that meets accessibility rules. See commercial locksmith service.
2010 ADA Standards Door hardware must sit 34 to 48 inches above the floor and work with one hand, with no tight grasping or twisting.
Services We Offer
Behind those fixes are six kinds of locksmith work. Here is what each covers and why it matters.
Lockouts, broken keys, failed locks, and break-in repairs, answered 24 hours a day. Most lockouts are opened without damage using picks, bypass tools, or a door wedge and reach tool, and the ID check happens before anything opens. When the job is urgent but not an emergency, like a sticking deadbolt, we tell you so and schedule it at the regular rate. Start with emergency locksmith service.
Fixr 2025 cost guide A typical home lockout runs $50 to $175 nationally. We quote your exact price on the phone.
Lost keys, spare keys, flip keys, remotes, and push-to-start fobs, cut and programmed at the vehicle, so there is no tow to the dealer. We also repair ignition lock cylinders that stick or won't turn and extract keys broken off in the ignition. For most makes and models the whole job happens in your driveway or parking spot. See automotive locksmith service.
Consumer Reports Replacement fobs ran $50 to as much as $400 depending on the brand, plus $50 to $100 for programming.
Rekeying swaps the pins inside your existing locks so old keys stop working. Replacing installs new hardware when the old is worn, damaged, or the wrong style. We do both, key every exterior door alike on request, and install deadbolts, levers, and handlesets that line up and latch cleanly. See rekeying and lock installation.
Fixr 2025 cost guide Rekeying a house averages $70 to $160 nationally, versus $150 to $550 to have the locks replaced.
Keypad and Wi-Fi locks let you hand out and revoke codes instead of keys, which suits rentals and busy households. High-security cylinders go the other direction, with patented keys that can't be copied without authorization and stronger resistance to picking and drilling. We install, align, and set up both. See smart locks and high-security locks.
Parks Associates, 2026 About 11% of U.S. internet households now have a smart lock.
Offices, shops, clinics, churches, and rental properties need hardware built for heavy use and keys that are controlled. We rekey after staff turnover, design master key systems, install Grade 1 locks, closers, and panic bars, and set up keypad and card access for doors that need an audit trail. See commercial locksmith service.
Utah building code Utah enforces the 2024 IBC, which requires panic hardware on latched exit doors serving assembly and school spaces for 50 or more people.
Lockouts, combination changes, keypad replacements, and bolt work repairs for home safes, gun safes, and small business safes. Knowing what your safe is rated for also matters: a fire rating and a burglary rating are different tests, and many home safes carry only one. We can explain your label and service the lock. See safe locksmith service.
UL 72 A Class 350 fire rating protects paper. Digital media needs a Class 125 or Class 150 rating.
Why Choose Us
Three things set the way we work apart from the call centers that crowd Provo search results.
24/7/365
Lockouts don't keep business hours, so neither do we. The phone is answered all 8,760 hours of the year, including Sundays, holidays, and the night after a BYU home game. You get the same process at 3 a.m. as at noon: a price on the phone, a technician sent to your location, and the work done at your door, your car, or your storefront.
1 price
The Better Business Bureau warns about locksmith ads that quote as little as $15 on the phone, then find reasons on site to charge hundreds more. We do the opposite. You describe the job, we quote it before we come out, and the technician confirms the total before starting. If the job turns out to be different, you approve the new price first or we stop.
13 cities
Our office is at 180 N University Ave, in the middle of Provo, so the BYU area, downtown, and the neighborhoods around them are a short drive. From there we cover Provo and 12 cities around it, from Lehi, about 20 miles north on I-15, to Payson, about 15 miles south, each with its own local service pages.
Locked Out Right Now?
Tell us where you are and what is locked, lost, or broken. You hear the price and an arrival estimate on the same call, and nobody is sent until you say yes.
Answered 24/7, including holidays
Our Promise
Locksmithing runs on trust. These are the commitments you can hold us to on every call, from a 2 a.m. lockout to a full office rekey.
We quote on the phone, then confirm the total on site before any work begins. If the job turns out to be different than described, you approve the new number before we continue.
We confirm you live at the address or own the vehicle before we open anything. It takes about a minute, and it is the same check that protects your home from someone else claiming to be you.
We pick, bypass, or decode before we ever consider drilling. If a lock truly has to be drilled, we explain why and get your OK first, and we can replace it on the spot.
Nights, weekends, and holidays use the same phone number. You get a person, a price, and an arrival estimate, not a voicemail box.
Hiring Smart
Locksmith scams follow a pattern. The Better Business Bureau describes ads with phone quotes "as low as $15," followed by on-site reasons to charge hundreds more, and technicians who insist the lock has to be drilled and replaced. The Federal Trade Commission has also warned that some locksmiths advertising locally "may not be local at all." Before you hire anyone, including us, check for these:
One more thing to know: Utah does not issue a statewide locksmith license. The Associated Locksmiths of America lists 13 states that license locksmiths, and Utah is not among them, so the checks above matter more than any badge on a website.
About Us
Provo UT Locksmith is a mobile locksmith based on University Avenue in downtown Provo. We built the business around the calls that actually happen: a family locked out on a Sunday, a student whose only car key snapped in the ignition, a landlord who needs a unit rekeyed before the next tenant arrives in the morning.
Every job runs on the same rules: a price before we drive out, an ID check before any lock opens, and damage-free methods before anything more drastic. It is a simple way to work, and in a market full of call centers it is surprisingly rare.
Service Area
We cover every Provo neighborhood, from downtown, Joaquin, and the BYU campus area to Edgemont, Grandview, Riverbottoms, and the East Bay business area, plus emergency locksmith service anywhere in Provo. Beyond Provo, each city below has its own pages for our six most-requested services, written for that city.
FAQ
It depends on the job, the lock or vehicle, and the time of day. For a national reference, Fixr's 2025 cost guide lists $50 to $175 for a house lockout, $70 to $160 to rekey a house, and $70 to $250 for locksmith car key replacement. We quote your exact price on the phone before anyone is sent.
It depends on where you are and where the nearest technician is when you call, so we give you an arrival estimate on the phone instead of a one-size promise. Our office is in downtown Provo, which keeps most of the city a short drive away.
Yes. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays, and technicians work nights and weekends. Calls at 3 a.m. get the same process as calls at noon, starting with a price on the phone.
Yes, for most makes and models. We cut a new key by code or by decoding the lock, then program it to the car's immobilizer at the vehicle. You will need a photo ID and proof of ownership such as the registration or title.
If the locks work well, rekey them. It makes every old key useless for far less than new hardware. Fixr's 2025 national averages are $70 to $160 to rekey a house versus $150 to $550 to replace the locks. Replace a lock only when it is worn, damaged, or you want an upgrade.
Utah does not issue a statewide locksmith license, and the Associated Locksmiths of America does not list Utah among the 13 states that license locksmiths. That makes it more important to ask any locksmith for a business name, a local address, a price before work starts, and an itemized invoice.
A photo ID. For a home, the ID should show the address, or you can show a lease, utility bill, or closing papers once inside. For a vehicle, have the registration or title available once the car is open. We check every time because it protects you.
Call 911 first. A closed car heats up quickly, and Provo's normal July high is about 95°F according to NOAA. After you have called 911, call us as well, and we will come right away.
Day or night, a person answers, quotes the job, and sends a locksmith to you.
