The most expensive key you own is probably the smallest one on your ring. 🔋🔑

It’s the one for your e-bike battery. Lose it and the manufacturer quotes you weeks and a surprising amount of money, or tells you to buy a new pack. Here’s what happened when one of those bikes came into our shop instead 👇

1️⃣ Bike on its side, lock cylinder in the frame right behind the cranks (slide 1)
2️⃣ Our tech working the cylinder with picks and small hand tools (slide 2)
3️⃣ Fitting a key by hand, one small adjustment at a time (slide 3)
4️⃣ Testing it in the lock until it turned clean (slide 4)

No drilling. No new battery. No shipping anything anywhere. Just a locksmith on a stool with a toolbox and a lot of patience. 🧰

E-bikes are everywhere in Denver now, from the Cherry Creek Trail to the Boulder Creek Path to the Poudre in Fort Collins. Every one has a battery lock, and every one of those keys eventually goes missing. We make them from the lock.

We also do the big doors, if your bike shop or delivery fleet needs it: https://www.redrockslocksmith.com/services/commercial-door-lock-service/

Serving Denver, North Denver, Arvada, Boulder, Evergreen, Longmont, and Fort Collins.

When a storefront door won't latch, the lock is usually innocent. 🚪🔧

Aluminum and glass commercial doors hang on pivots at the top and bottom, not hinges like your house. Pivots wear, the door drops a few millimeters, and suddenly the latch scrapes, the closer gives up halfway, and everyone blames the keypad lock. Swap the lock and the new one fails the same way.

Here's what fixing it properly looks like, in order 👇

1️⃣ Door off. Straight off the pivots and leaned against the wall to get at the bottom pivot hardware.
2️⃣ Up the ladder, drill in hand, refitting the top of the frame.
3️⃣ Door back on, wood shims underneath, aligned until the gap is even top to bottom.
4️⃣ Door swung open, keypad lock and lever checked, latch tested.
5️⃣ Tools packed, door closing clean. Slide 5 is the "we can go home now" shot.

Fix the alignment and the lock, the strike, and the closer all stop wearing out. That's cheaper than new hardware and it actually stays fixed. ✅

Customers walking in. Locksmith working on the door. Both at the same time. 🏪🔧

This brass handleset is on a glass storefront door. The cylinder came out, the plate came off, the hardware got serviced, and the whole thing happened on the sidewalk during business hours. Nobody flipped the sign to CLOSED.

That's the part people don't expect. When a shop door lock starts sticking, spinning, or refusing to catch, most owners assume they'll lose a morning or a whole handleset. Usually it's neither. The cylinder gets pulled, the plate gets serviced or rekeyed, and the door is back to normal before the coffee's cold. ☕

Commercial door lock service from Red Rocks Locksmith covers storefront handlesets, levers, deadbolts, panic bars, closers, rekeying, and master key systems. Everything on the list: https://www.redrockslocksmith.com/services/commercial-door-lock-service/

That pile of brass on top of the safe? Two hours ago, zero keys existed for it. 🔑✨

An electronic keypad safe landed on our bench with a tubular key override and no key. Tubular keys are the round hollow ones, and no, the hardware store kiosk can't make them. Here's what happened instead 👇

1️⃣ Safe on the bench, tubular key machine set up (slide 1)
2️⃣ Blanks cut to match the lock
3️⃣ Every single key tested in the override before it left (slide 2)

No drilling. No prying. No "sorry, you'll need a new safe." Just the right machine and someone who knows how to run it. 🔧

Safes show up in commercial locksmith work all the time: cash drops behind the counter, pharmacy cabinets, document safes in offices, hotel room safes. When the batteries die or the code goes with a former manager, the override key is the way back in. If you don't have one, we can make one.

Safe lockouts, override keys, combination changes, and every other lock in your building: https://www.redrockslocksmith.com/services/commercial-door-lock-service/

Serving Denver, North Denver, Arvada, Boulder, Evergreen, Longmont, and Fort Collins.

This little cylinder knows the code to its own key. We just asked it nicely. 🔎🔑

What you're looking at: a Kwikset lever lock, the cylinder pulled, sitting on a decoder while our tech reads the pin depths and writes down the code. Thirty seconds of bench work that means the lock can get a brand-new key cut by code, a fresh rekey, or be matched to every other door in the building. No drilling, no guesswork, no ripping out hardware that still works fine.

Lever handles like this are on office doors, shop back rooms, clinics, and rental units all over Denver. When one sticks, spins, or the key walks off with an ex-employee, this is the kind of fix that gets you back to work fast. ⚡

🏢 Lever locks, deadbolts, panic bars, closers
🔐 Rekeying after turnover or lost keys

This is the bench side of a Yale mortise lock restoration. Twisted brass thumb-latch, pierced escutcheons, round k**b, the cylinder, and a cast iron lock case that had roughly a hundred years of dust and hardened oil packed inside.

Here's the whole process, in order 👇

🔍 Case opened, every lever and spring pulled out
🧽 Everything cleaned, worn parts swapped, mechanism greased
🛡️ Corrosion protection sprayed on the case
✨ Every piece of brass polished by hand
🔧 Back together, back on the door, no modern retrofit

Swipe to the end for the man doing the work. That's not a stock photo, that's our bench. 👨‍🔧

Most people call us for antique lock repair because the door sticks. Restoration is the part they don't know to ask for, and it's the part that makes an old entry look like it did the day the house was finished.

When an old lock truly can't be saved, here's what lock change and rekey options look like: https://www.redrockslocksmith.com/project/lock-change-rekey-existing-locks/

Look at this door. Now imagine putting a big-box-store lever handle on it. 😬

Stained glass, dark oak, a twisted brass thumb-latch with pierced escutcheons, and a Yale mortise lock that's been doing its job since roughly the time your great-grandparents were kids. When a lock like this gets stiff, the temptation is to swap it for something modern. That means cutting the door and binning hardware you can't buy anymore.

Here's what we did instead 🔧

1️⃣ Pulled the lock case out of the door
2️⃣ Opened it up (slide 2, that's a century of grime)
3️⃣ Took out every lever, spring, and hub (slide 3)
4️⃣ Cleaned, replaced worn parts, lubricated, reassembled
5️⃣ Back on the door, brass gleaming, bolt throwing clean (slides 4 and 5)

No retrofit. No new hardware. Just the original lock, ready for another long stretch of service. ✨

This lock is somewhere around 100 years old. It just got another 100. 🔑✨

A Corbin mortise lock off a front door, with its original brass thumb-latch handle, cylinder, k**b, and escutcheon. A century of dust, dried oil, and Colorado winters had the mechanism barely moving. Most locksmiths would say "replace it with something modern."

We don't do that to a lock like this. Here's what happened instead 👇

1️⃣ Pulled the full set off the door
2️⃣ Opened the case and took out every single internal part
3️⃣ Cleaned, lubricated, and replaced what was worn
4️⃣ Polished the brass down to the metal
5️⃣ Put it all back together, working like new

Swipe through to watch it go from tarnished and stuck to gleaming and smooth. Slide 10 is the good part. 😍

He lost the only key to his house. Thirteen locks. Zero keys. 😬

Most people assume that means changing or rekeying every single lock. That's the expensive answer, and it's usually not the necessary one.

Here's what happened at our shop instead 🔧

1️⃣ He brought in one Schlage cylinder from the house
2️⃣ Our tech took it apart and read the pins inside
3️⃣ Wrote down the code, cut fresh keys on the code machine
4️⃣ Reassembled the cylinder and handed him working keys

Because his locks were keyed alike, those new keys opened all 13 doors. No new hardware, no rekey, no service van. Just a locksmith who knows how to make a key from the lock itself. 🔑✨

Swipe through to see the cylinder apart, the code going down on paper, and the finished keys.

The least glamorous photo we'll post this month, and one of the most important jobs we do. 🔧

This is commercial door hardware repair: a tap wrench, some lubricant, and a technician cutting clean new threads so a fastener bites properly instead of wobbling loose again in a month. Then the brackets get secured, the alignment gets checked, and the door goes back to doing its one job flawlessly: opening all day and locking tight at night.

Here's the thing about storefront doors. They're the hardest-working hardware in any business. Hundreds of cycles a day, every day, in Colorado sun, wind, and snow. When something starts to loosen, drag, or rattle, it never fixes itself, it just picks the worst possible Friday night to quit entirely. 😅

Our mobile locksmiths handle commercial door repair, panic bar service, door closers, lock replacement, and rekeying right at your storefront, across the whole Denver metro: Denver, North Denver, Arvada, Boulder, Evergreen, Longmont, and Fort Collins.

Got a door that's been "acting a little weird lately"? That's the moment to call, not after it fails.
