Locking your keys in the truck is a small problem in most towns and a miserable one here in January, with snow on the ground and the canyon between you and help. None of the four locksmiths listed here is based in the valley. All four work out of Fort Collins or the Longmont area, so any call means a drive up US 34 through the Big Thompson Canyon or through Lyons on US 36.
I have locked myself out of enough trucks to know the rule: make the call before you are cold and desperate. Nobody on this list lives in the valley, so ask for a drive time first, then a price, and leave a spare key with someone in town.
None of the locksmiths listed is based in the valley, so response times depend on the drive up from the Front Range.
Serves Estes Park from the Front Range
Lose the only rental car key at a trailhead and this is one of the calls worth making, with the caveat that the van comes up from Fort Collins. 970 Locksmith is a licensed, bonded and insured mobile outfit that works around the clock and lists Estes Park among its service towns.
Twenty years in the trade is the claim behind Longmont Lockshop, a locksmith based down in Longmont that lists Lyons and Estes Park in its service area. Key making is the bread and butter, along with rekeying and pulling broken keys out of locks and ignitions.
Hidden cords are what people notice after Rocky Mountain Install leaves. The TV is on the wall, the wires are out of sight, the surround sound works and nothing got upsold along the way.
Keys locked in the car at midnight is exactly the call this Longmont-area mobile locksmith takes, day or night, and Estes Park is on its list of towns. Car lockouts and rekeys are the jobs that come up most, along with new key fobs, remote key programming, lock installs, safe work and window locks for homes and businesses.

Start with the question of who will actually come. Two of the four are flagged for 24-hour emergency calls: 970 Locksmith in Fort Collins and Locksmith Services Longmont, a mobile service across Northern Colorado. Ask both how long the drive will take and whether travel changes the bill, because the listings do not say. In winter, ask about road conditions too, since both routes up can slow down.
Not every listing is a lock shop. Rocky Mountain Install in Fort Collins mounts TVs, sets up home theaters and networks, and installs security cameras, so it fits when you want cameras on a cabin rather than a lockout fixed. For lock work, Longmont Lockshop covers rekeying, car keys and fobs, safes and commercial door hardware. Only one of the four is flagged Licensed, so if that matters to you, ask each company directly before you book.
If you manage a short-term rental or a second home, call a locksmith about rekeying before a problem happens. A planned visit is easier to schedule than an emergency drive up the hill. Keep the number saved in your phone before you need it, since cell reception can be patchy on the canyon road.
Not among these listings. All four locksmith entries are based in Fort Collins or the Longmont area, so expect a drive up from the Front Range. Ask about arrival time when you call, and give yourself extra room in winter.
