Residential ยท Provo, Utah
A residential locksmith in Provo should be able to handle every lock on your property, from the front deadbolt to the patio slider, the door in from the garage, and the safe in the closet. We drive to houses, apartments, and condos at any hour and quote the job on the phone first. Landlords can have a whole unit handled in one visit, between tenants or the day a key goes missing.
Most home lock calls fall into a handful of jobs:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics found that in 40% of no-force burglaries of empty homes, the offender came in through an unlocked door or window. When force was used, damaging or removing a door was the most common way in. So every exterior door has to pass two tests: it locks every time, and it can take a hit.

Call (801) 555-0142Homeowners, renters, and landlords call with different problems that often share a fix.
| What you are dealing with | Usual fix | Who typically calls |
|---|---|---|
| Keys locked inside, or keypad dead | Non-destructive entry | Anyone who lives there |
| Just moved in, or a key went missing | Rekey the existing locks | Buyers, new tenants |
| Tenant moved out | Rekey or swap cylinders | Landlords, property managers |
| Bolt drags or latch misses | Adjust strike, hinges, or rollers | Homeowners, renters with the owner's OK |
| Door kicked or pried | Reinforced strike, new deadbolt, jamb repair | Homeowners, landlords |
| Want codes instead of keys | Smart lock | Families, landlords |
Renters should read the lease before changing or adding locks. Many leases require the landlord's permission and a key for the landlord, so call the property manager first and we can work from their authorization.
Home lock work is priced by the job. What moves the price:
As a national reference, Fixr's 2025 locksmith cost guide puts a typical locksmith job at $100 to $200, with an average around $150. That is not our rate. We give you the exact price on the phone and confirm it on site before any work starts.
Most Provo households rent: 60.6%, according to the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey. Homes run from single-family houses to apartment buildings, in neighborhoods from Edgemont and the Riverbottoms to Grandview, Joaquin, and downtown. As a residential locksmith in Provo with an office on University Avenue, we work for owners, tenants, and landlords alike, so knowing who controls a door matters on almost every call.
Utah's property crime rate fell to a record low in 2024, according to the state's Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice. Low is not zero: Provo police still logged 78 burglaries that year in the state's Crime in Utah report. A deadbolt that throws cleanly and a strike screwed into the framing are still two of the simplest upgrades a Provo home can get.
Why Choose Us
365 days
Locks do not keep business hours. A key snaps on Christmas Eve, a tenant moves out over a holiday weekend, a slider stops latching the night before a trip. We are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and a person answers the phone at any hour. You get a real answer and a price, not a callback tomorrow.

Drilling is a last resort at a house. We try non-destructive entry first, and drill a lock only after you agree to it, knowing it means replacing that cylinder. Repairs work the same way: if an adjustment fixes a sticking deadbolt, you do not pay for a new one. You hear the options and the price before anything comes apart.
ID
Anyone can call a locksmith and claim a house is theirs. That is why we check ID showing the address, a lease, or the owner's authorization before we open a door or change a lock. It takes a minute, and it protects you too: the same check stops a stranger from using a locksmith to get into your home while you are away.
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.
FAQ
Start with the door that was attacked: the strike plate, the jamb around it, the hinges, and the lock, since a lock can look fine after being forced and still not hold. We usually reinforce the strike with long screws into the framing, replace damaged hardware, and check the other exterior doors.
Yes, on any exterior door. A knob lock holds the door with a short, beveled spring latch designed to close on its own, which also makes it easier to slip or force. A fully thrown deadbolt is a solid bolt that cannot be pushed back from outside.
We need proof that you live there before we open any door. If your name is not on the lease and your ID shows another address, the landlord or property manager will need to confirm you are a resident. It is the same rule that keeps strangers out of your unit.
Yes. Your unit door, garage entry, and patio door are typically yours to maintain, and we treat them like any house. Building entries and common doors are usually controlled by the HOA, so we work on those only with its authorization. Your HOA documents will say which is which.
