Automotive locksmith services at Fort Carson

Car and vehicle problems are our specialty. Whether you locked your keys in your car at the PX, lost your key fob somewhere between the gym and the barracks, or your ignition is giving you trouble, our mobile automotive locksmiths come to you anywhere on or around Fort Carson.

Locked out of your vehicle?

Vehicle lockouts are one of the most common calls we get. Maybe you were loading gear into your trunk and didn’t realize the doors locked. Maybe your key fob battery died and you can’t get back into your push-to-start vehicle. Maybe you handed your keys to a family member and now you’re standing in the parking lot with no way to get home.

We handle lockouts for all types of vehicles including cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. Our technicians carry the tools and training to get you back into your vehicle quickly and without causing any damage to your doors or windows. Vehicle lockouts typically run $65-$120 depending on your vehicle’s make and model and how difficult the lock is to access.

Lost car keys or key fob replacement

Losing your only car key used to mean an expensive tow to the dealership and waiting days for a replacement. Not anymore. Our mobile locksmiths can come to your location on or near Fort Carson and create a new key for you on-site, including transponder chip keys and push-to-start key fobs.

We can cut and program keys for most makes and models including Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Honda, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, and many others. Even if you’ve lost all your keys, we can use your VIN and our specialized equipment to create a new key from scratch and program it to work with your vehicle’s immobilizer system.

Car key replacement and programming typically runs $180-$350 depending on your vehicle’s year, make, and model. That’s usually hundreds less than dealership pricing, and we come to you so there’s no towing fee.

Ignition problems and broken key extraction

If your key won’t turn on the ignition, feels stuck, or if you broke a key off inside the ignition cylinder, don’t keep forcing it. You could cause more damage and turn a simple repair into a complete ignition replacement.

We handle ignition repairs, ignition cylinder replacements, and broken key extraction. Our technicians have the specialized tools to remove broken key pieces without damaging your ignition, and we can repair or replace worn ignition cylinders that are no longer working properly. Ignition services typically run $200-$450 depending on whether we’re doing a simple repair or replacing the entire cylinder.

Key duplication and spare keys

If you’ve only got one key to your vehicle, getting a spare made is one of the smartest investments you can make. We can duplicate most car keys including basic metal keys, transponder chip keys, and key fobs.

Stop by our shop in Colorado Springs with your current key, or we can come to you at Fort Carson and make a spare on-site. Having that backup key could save you hundreds of dollars and hours of frustration if you ever lose or break your primary key.

Residential locksmith services for Fort Carson housing and nearby neighborhoods

Your family’s safety and security matter, especially when you’re dealing with the unpredictability of military life. We provide complete residential locksmith services for on-base housing and neighborhoods surrounding Fort Carson.

Rekeying for PCS moves

If you’re moving into new housing at Fort Carson, the first thing you should do is rekey the locks. You have no idea who has copies of those keys from the previous occupants. Maybe they gave a spare to a neighbor. Maybe their teenage kids made copies. Maybe keys got lost somewhere along the way and were never accounted for.

We’ll come to your housing unit, rekey every exterior door, and provide you with a fresh set of keys that only you and your family have. The process usually takes about an hour for a typical housing unit, and you’ll have complete peace of mind knowing you’re the only ones with access. Rekeying services for base housing typically run $90-$160 depending on how many locks you have.

Home lockouts

Getting locked out of your house happens to everyone eventually. Maybe you stepped outside to check the mail and the door closed behind you. Maybe your spouse has the only key and they’re unreachable on a training exercise. Maybe your kids accidentally locked the door from the inside.

We’ll get you back into your home quickly and without damaging your door or lock. Home lockouts typically run $80-$130, and we’ll give you an exact quote when you call. No surprises, just fast professional service to get you back inside.

Smart lock installation for added security

If you’re preparing for a deployment or extended TDY, upgrading to a smart lock can give you peace of mind while you’re away. Smart locks let you monitor who’s coming and going from your home, provide temporary access codes to family or friends who might be checking on things, and send alerts to your phone whenever someone opens the door.

We install and set up all major smart lock brands including Schlage Encode, August, Kwikset Halo, and Yale Assure. We’ll make sure everything is installed correctly, connected to your phone, and working properly before we leave. We’ll also show your spouse or family members how to use all the features so everyone feels comfortable with the system.

Smart lock installations typically run $250-$450 depending on the system you choose and the complexity of the installation. If you’re not sure which smart lock makes sense for your situation, just ask. We’ll explain your options without any pressure to buy the most expensive system.

High-security upgrades and additional services

We also provide high-security deadbolt upgrades, sliding door and garage door lock repairs, door frame reinforcement, and safe opening services. If you’re concerned about security or just want to make sure your family is protected while you’re deployed or in the field, we can assess your home and recommend upgrades that actually make sense for your situation and budget.

Commercial locksmith services near Fort Carson

Local businesses around Fort Carson depend on reliable security systems. We provide commercial locksmith services for offices, retail locations, and warehouses throughout the area surrounding the base.

We handle access control systems, master key setups for multi-door facilities, panic bars and ADA-compliant hardware, rekeying for staff turnover or new leases, and safe unlocking and repair. Business rekeying typically runs $120-$300 depending on how many doors and what type of hardware you’re working with. Access control system installations start at $500 depending on the complexity of the system.

If your business has been broken into, we also provide emergency board-up services and rapid lock replacement to get you secured and back to business as quickly as possible. We understand that every hour your business is vulnerable or closed costs you money, so we work fast and efficiently.

Emergency locksmith services at Fort Carson

Emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. That’s why we’re available seven days a week from 7 AM to 11 PM for emergency locksmith services throughout Fort Carson and the surrounding area.

We’re upfront about the fact that we’re not 24/7. If you’re locked out at 2 AM, we won’t be able to help until we open at 7 AM. But during our operating hours, we treat every emergency call with the urgency it deserves.

When you call for emergency service, you’ll talk to a real person who will ask you a few quick questions about your situation. We’ll give you an honest price quote and an estimated arrival time, then dispatch a mobile technician immediately. We’ll text you when we’re on the way and again when we’re about five minutes out so you know exactly when to expect us.

Emergency services typically run $90-$250 depending on the complexity of the situation. A straightforward lockout is going to be on the lower end of that range. If we need to extract a broken key, repair damaged hardware, or handle a more involved situation, it’ll cost more. But we’ll always tell you the price before we start any work.

We understand military life: PCS season means dozens of rekey requests as families move in and out of housing.

Our techs know the gate procedures, they carry the right identification, and they’re prepared to work with base security. We’re not going to show up and get turned away because we didn’t bring the right paperwork.

We give you real prices up front: No bait-and-switch $19 service calls that turn into $300 bills. When you call us, we ask about your situation, we tell you what it’s going to cost, and that’s what you pay. If something changes when we arrive, we call you and explain it before we do any additional work.

Fast response times: Our average arrival time from our Colorado Springs shop to most Fort Carson gates is 20-25 minutes. We know the traffic patterns around the base, we know which gates to use depending on time of day, and we know that when you’re locked out or dealing with a broken key, every minute counts.

One-year warranty on everything we do: Every lock we install, every key we cut, every repair we make comes with a full one-year warranty on parts and labor. If you have any issues, we’ll make it right.

What Fort Carson customers are saying

We’ve helped hundreds of customers across Woodland Park, CO. Here’s what some of them have to say:

We were in the middle of PCS chaos when I realized the locks on our new housing hadn't been changed from the previous tenant. Called Jefferson Locksmith on a Saturday morning and they had someone there by early afternoon. The tech was professional, had all his base access paperwork in order, and rekeyed all four exterior doors in under an hour. The price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. Made one less thing to stress about during the move.

SSG Michael T. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fort Carson

My husband was in the field and I locked myself out of the house with our two-year-old inside. I was panicking. Called Jefferson Locksmith and they talked me through verifying my identity over the phone, then had a technician at our house in about 20 minutes. He was calm, professional, and got us back inside quickly. I've saved their number in my phone now just in case.

Jessica R. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Military spouse, Fort Carson

We run a small retail shop near Gate 20 and needed to rekey after an employee left. Jefferson Locksmith came out the same day, assessed our doors, and had everything rekeyed within a couple hours. They also recommended some security upgrades that actually made sense for our budget. Honest, fair pricing and good work. That's all you can ask for.
