UNC Greeley Locksmith — Student Housing, Rentals & Campus-Area Mobile Service
Locked out near campus? We run mobile locksmith service to the UNC blocks of Greeley 24/7 — flat-rate pricing, 35–45 minutes out, and the same price at 2 AM as at 2 PM. Call (970) 397-2002.
A Locksmith Who Actually Works the UNC Blocks
The University of Northern Colorado area is its own little ecosystem inside Greeley — dorms and campus buildings surrounded by rings of student apartments and dorm-adjacent rentals, concentrated around 8th through 11th Ave in the 80631 and 80639 zips. Most of the doors here turn over every August and May, most of the keys are copies of copies, and most of the people calling us at midnight are students who have never needed a locksmith before. We get it, and we don't make it weird or expensive.
When you search "locksmith near me" from a UNC apartment, you'll get a wall of call centers pretending to be local. We're not that. 970 Locksmith is a real Northern Colorado locksmith — one master locksmith, Omer, 5.0 stars across 402 Google reviews — running fully mobile service into the campus area from our Fort Collins base. No storefront visit needed; the truck comes to your door.
Student Apartment & House Lockouts Near Campus
The single most common call we get from the UNC area: locked out of an apartment or rental house, phone at 4%, roommate unreachable. A house lockout runs $75–$150 flat — that's the same price on a Saturday night, over winter break, or during finals week. No night surcharge, no weekend upcharge, no "emergency fee." We open the door with non-destructive entry methods first, so you're not explaining a drilled lock to your landlord.
We're a true 24 hour locksmith, which matters in a neighborhood where lockouts don't keep business hours. Call (970) 397-2002 any time; we'll quote the flat rate on the phone before the truck ever rolls.
Landlord & Property Rekeys Between Tenants
If you own or manage rentals in the blocks around UNC, you already know the drill: leases flip in May and August, keys walk away with every tenant, and a $30 rekey is a lot cheaper than a break-in claim. We rekey for $25–$35 per cylinder, with move-in packages starting at $100 — and because we're mobile, we can knock out an entire property in one visit between tenants.
We also install and program smart locks (Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, August) for landlords who are tired of cutting keys entirely. Code-based access means turnover becomes a settings change instead of a service call.
Car Lockouts & Car Key Replacement at UNC
Street parking around campus produces a steady stream of car lockouts — keys locked inside, keys lost somewhere between the apartment and the car, fobs dead. A car lockout runs $75–$150 flat, and full car key replacement runs $85–$250 depending on the vehicle, including transponder keys and push-to-start fobs for 25+ makes — Tesla included. We cut and program on-site from the truck, so there's no tow to a dealership and no week of waiting.
Lost every key you own? That's a normal Tuesday for us. We can make a working key from nothing, right there at the curb, usually for a fraction of the dealer's price.
Fully Mobile from Fort Collins — 35–45 Minutes to Campus
We're based in Fort Collins and run the UNC area as mobile locksmith territory: typical arrival is 35–45 minutes via US-34 east, day or night. Everything happens from the truck — lockouts, rekeys, key cutting, fob programming — so "we come to you" isn't a slogan, it's the entire business model.
Flat-rate pricing is the other half of it. The price we quote on the phone is the price you pay at the door, whether it's a Tuesday afternoon or 3 AM on a holiday weekend. That's why we hold 5.0 stars over 402 reviews: no games, just a locksmith who shows up, fixes it, and charges what he said he would.
