About 970 Locksmith Fort Collins

Fort Collins' Trusted Locksmith — Since 2016

970 Locksmith Fort Collins was founded in 2016 by Master Locksmith Omer with one stubborn goal: build the kind of locksmith company that Northern Colorado homeowners, drivers, and businesses would actually want to call back. Not a national franchise. Not a call center routing leads to whoever's nearest. A real local team operating out of 2519 S Shields St in South Fort Collins, dispatching ourselves, answering our own phone, and standing behind every job.

Ten years in, that goal has become our reputation. We hold a 5.0-star average across 381 verified Google reviews — the highest review count of any locksmith in Larimer County. We're licensed, bonded, and insured for residential, commercial, and automotive locksmith work across Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Timnath, Johnstown, Wellington, Greeley, Berthoud, Severance, Longmont, and Milliken. Our average response time inside Fort Collins city limits is 22 minutes from the moment you call. And our pricing is flat-rate, quoted up front — the price you hear at 2 a.m. is the same price at 2 p.m.

What sets us apart isn't a marketing slogan. It's the part of the job most companies hide: who answers the phone, who shows up at your door, and what happens when something goes wrong. At 970 Locksmith, the phone is answered by Omer or one of our local technicians — people who live in Fort Collins, who you'll see at King Soopers and Sprouts and Foothills Mall. The technician at your door drives a marked van, wears a uniform, and has been background-checked. And if anything ever goes wrong on a job we did, you call us back — and we fix it.

Real Locksmiths. Marked Vans. No Subcontractors.

Every technician you'll meet at 970 Locksmith is a direct employee — trained in-house by Master Locksmith Omer, background-checked annually, and equipped to handle the full range of residential, commercial, and automotive locksmith work. We don't dispatch random subcontractors with unmarked vans. We don't farm out emergency calls to whoever's nearest. The person who shows up at your door wears our uniform, drives our van, and represents us personally.

Why You Can Trust 970 Locksmith Fort Collins

Anyone can claim to be a "professional locksmith" — Colorado does not require a state locksmith license, which means anyone with a $30 set of lock picks can put up a Yelp listing and call themselves a locksmith. We hold ourselves to a higher standard because our reputation depends on it.

If you'd ever like documentation copies — bond carrier, insurance certificate of coverage, business license — call us at (970) 397-2002 and we'll email them within a business day. Real locksmiths are transparent about credentials. The scam operators are the ones who hedge when you ask.
