General Locksmith Services

  • What credentials or certifications does ML Locksmith hold, and why do they matter when choosing a locksmith?

    ML Locksmith is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in the state of Colorado. We meet all local and state regulatory requirements. This means you’re hiring a verified professional, not a fly-by-night operator. Our credentials ensure quality service, legal compliance, and protection in case of any unforeseen damages or issues.

  • Which areas do you provide locksmith services to, and how fast can you respond in an emergency?

    We serve the entire Denver Metro area, including Thornton, Westminster, Arvada, Northglenn, Broomfield, and surrounding suburbs. Our mobile units are strategically positioned to ensure fast response times, and in most emergency cases, we can arrive in 30 minutes or less depending on traffic and location.

  • What types of locksmith services does your company provide — is it just lockouts, or do you offer more?

    We offer a wide range of locksmith services beyond emergency lockouts. These include lock rekeying, lock replacements, key duplication, keyless entry installations, high-security lock upgrades, and full access control systems. We specialize in residential, commercial, and automotive locksmithing.

Residential Locksmith

  • If I’m locked out of my home late at night, how quickly can you get me back inside, and will my door or lock be damaged?

    We provide 24/7 emergency home lockout services, including weekends and holidays. Our trained technicians use non-destructive entry methods whenever possible to preserve the integrity of your lock and door. Most home lockouts are resolved within minutes of arrival.

  • What’s the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock, and which is more cost-effective?

    Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of your existing lock so that old keys no longer work. It's a fast, affordable solution if you’re moving into a new home or lost a key. Lock replacement involves installing an entirely new lock, which is ideal if the hardware is outdated, damaged, or you want to upgrade security. We’ll recommend the best option based on your needs and budget.

  • Can you upgrade my home to a smart lock system, and what brands or features do you offer?

    Yes! We install smart lock systems compatible with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, keypads, or mobile apps. We work with trusted brands like Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, August, and more. You can choose features like remote locking, guest access codes, and activity tracking. We’ll help you select a system that fits your lifestyle and security goals.

Automotive Locksmith

  • I accidentally locked my keys in the car — how do your automotive locksmiths handle this without causing damage?

    Our automotive lockout specialists use advanced tools and entry techniques designed specifically for modern vehicles. Whether it's manual, electronic, or keyless entry, we can unlock your car without scratching the paint, damaging the doors, or affecting the locking mechanism.

  • My car key is lost — can you cut and program a new one even if I don’t have the original?

    Yes, we can. Our mobile locksmith units are equipped with key-cutting machines and diagnostic tools to generate and program new keys — even without an original. We support most makes and models, including high-security laser-cut keys and transponder systems.

  • Do you work with push-to-start or proximity key fobs, and how long does replacement take?

    We specialize in push-to-start/proximity key fob programming for many major vehicle brands. Replacements typically take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your car’s make and model. Our services are often faster and more affordable than dealerships.

Commercial Locksmith

  • What commercial locksmith services do you provide for businesses, and how can they help improve security?

    We offer complete commercial solutions including lock installation, rekeying, master key systems, high-security locks, panic bars, door closers, and electronic access control. We help property managers, retail stores, office buildings, and warehouses protect their assets and ensure compliance with local building codes.

  • Can you design a master key system for my office or facility?

    Absolutely. Master key systems allow business owners to grant different levels of access to staff while maintaining full control. We custom-design these systems based on your facility layout, employee structure, and security needs. We also provide documentation and future support for key management.

  • How quickly can you respond if my business is broken into or a lock is tampered with?

    We offer rapid emergency response for break-ins, damaged locks, or compromised entries. Our technicians can arrive quickly, secure the premises, and repair or replace locks immediately — helping you resume business safely.

Billing & Payments

  • How much do your locksmith services cost, and do you provide upfront estimates?

    Costs vary depending on the service type, time of day, and complexity. However, we always provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins — no hidden fees or surprise charges. Call us for a free quote based on your situation.

  • What forms of payment do you accept, and is financing available for large jobs?

    We accept cash, all major credit and debit cards, and in some cases mobile payment options like Apple Pay or Zelle. For larger installations (such as high-security lock systems or master key systems), we may offer flexible payment arrangements — just ask during your consultation.
