Meet the Locksmith Behind 970 Locksmith Fort Collins
Locally owned. Master-certified. Licensed, bonded, and insured. Here's the story behind Northern Colorado's most-reviewed locksmith.
Hi, I'm Omer
I'm the owner and lead master locksmith at 970 Locksmith Fort Collins. I've been working with locks for more than ten years β first as an apprentice learning automotive transponder programming and residential rekeying, then as a certified field technician, and since 2016 as the founder of 970 Locksmith here in Fort Collins. Every call that comes into our number β (970) 397-2002 β is answered by a real locksmith based right here in Fort Collins. No call centers. No national dispatch queues. Just us.
What we believe
- Flat-rate pricing, quoted before the work begins. The price we tell you at 2 a.m. is the price you pay. No surge pricing, no nighttime surcharges, no surprise add-ons.
- Local people only. Every technician on our team lives in Northern Colorado, drives a marked van, and has been background-checked. You should always know who you're letting into your home or near your car.
- Honest recommendations. If rekeying is cheaper than replacing, we tell you. If the dealer is the right call for your specific vehicle (rare, but it happens), we tell you that too.
- International automotive security standards. The locksmith industry moves fast β proximity smart keys, encrypted rolling codes, push-to-start fobs. We invest in the equipment and ongoing training to handle every vehicle on the road today, including Tesla, Rivian, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, and the full Jaguar Land Rover line.

Why locally owned matters
If you've ever called a "national 24-hour locksmith" only to be quoted $35 on the phone and then charged $400 when the unmarked van shows up, you already know why we built this business the way we did. Every job has a fair flat-rate price. The technician who arrives is one we know personally. And when the work is done, you have a phone number β mine β that actually answers if anything goes wrong.
