Falcon Locksmith installs, rekeys, and repairs residential locks across Denver Metro. Grade 1 and Grade 2 hardware, matching finishes, and clean installs on new construction, remodels, and moves.
Rekey when the existing hardware is in good shape and you just need old keys to stop working — after moving into a Denver home, losing a key, or a roommate change. Replace when the lock is worn, damaged, low-grade builder hardware, or you want a different style or finish. Rekeying is faster and cheaper; replacement upgrades security and appearance. We'll assess on-site and recommend the right option.
Denver Metro rekeys start with a $49 service call plus a per-cylinder charge. Final pricing depends on the number of exterior locks, cylinder type (Kwikset, Schlage, Baldwin, Medeco), and whether we're keying every door to the same key. Most single-family home rekeys with 3–5 exterior locks are handled in under an hour, quoted in full before we start.
Yes. If your existing cylinders are compatible (they usually are on Schlage-to-Schlage or Kwikset-to-Kwikset), we can rekey every exterior lock in your Denver home — front door, back door, garage entry, side gates — to open with the same key. If cylinders are mismatched brands, we can swap the outliers to a matching brand and key them alike in one visit.
It depends on the number, type and condition of the cylinders, and whether the doors need adjustment. I can estimate the visit after reviewing your locks; same-day completion depends on parts and scheduling.
Yes. Falcon Locksmith installs Schlage Encode and Encode Plus, Yale Assure, Kwikset Halo, Level Lock, August, Ultraloq, and Eufy smart locks across Denver Metro. Every install includes door alignment, strike adjustment, Wi-Fi or Matter setup, app onboarding, auto-lock configuration, and a full owner walkthrough. A smart lock is only as good as its install — poor alignment is the #1 cause of complaints.
Yes. We install single- and double-cylinder Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts on any exterior door in Denver Metro, including doors with no existing bore hole (we drill and prep). Every install includes a reinforced strike plate with 3-inch screws into the framing — this is the single biggest kick-in resistance upgrade you can make, and most builder installs skip it.
I prioritize non-destructive entry where the lock and door allow it, but no opening method is risk-free. If repair or drilling may be necessary, I explain the options first. A same-visit rekey depends on the hardware and schedule.
Yes. We replace resident/tenant compartment locks on cluster box units (CBUs) and standalone residential mailbox locks across Denver Metro, with appropriate authorization. USPS-controlled Arrow master locks are not resident locks and are not included in this service. The replacement lock and keys depend on the mailbox hardware; I confirm the correct part before work begins.
Yes. Sticking cylinders, loose handles, misaligned strikes, worn deadbolts, and broken key extractions are repairable in many cases. Grade 1 and Grade 2 hardware is usually worth repairing; low-grade builder locks are usually cheaper to replace. We diagnose on-site and quote both options so you can decide.
Contact the local authorities as appropriate, then call Vic about the damaged locks and door. He will assess what can be secured or repaired given the condition, parts and schedule. You pay Falcon Locksmith directly and always receive an itemized receipt, which you may submit to an insurer; Falcon does not file claims or guarantee reimbursement.
Yes. Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, ASSA, and ABLOY high-security locks resist picking, drilling, and bumping and use patented restricted keyways so keys can't be copied at any hardware store. Ideal for high-value Denver homes, home offices, short-term rentals, and rental properties where you need real key control. We also enroll you in the brand's key-control program.
Yes. Whole-home hardware replacements to update finishes (satin nickel to matte black is a common Denver upgrade), swap builder-grade knobs for Grade 1 hardware, or replace a single failed handle. We supply and install matching interior and exterior hardware — passage, privacy, dummy, and keyed entry — and haul the old hardware away.
Yes, and it's the #1 thing we recommend after closing on a Denver home. You don't know how many spare keys exist — previous owners, cleaners, contractors, real estate agents, neighbors. A whole-home rekey (or lock replacement if hardware is low-grade) resets access to only your keys. Most single-day appointments include rekey, reinforced strikes, and a fresh set of 4–6 keys.
Yes. Keypad locks eliminate keys entirely — great for households with kids, in-laws, dog walkers, or short-term rental hosts. We install Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, and Ultraloq keypad and combined keypad/Wi-Fi models across Denver Metro, program manager and user codes, and walk you through code management and battery expectations before we leave.
Yes. We service apartment locks in Denver Metro for tenants (with landlord authorization), landlords, and property managers. Common jobs include unit turns between tenants, tenant lockouts, mailbox lock replacement, and master-key setups for buildings. Signed authorization from the property owner is required before we rekey or replace hardware for anyone not on the lease.
