UTS Locksmith St Paul
Welcome to UTS Locksmith St Paul. We're not a call center. We're not a dispatch mill. We're actual St Paul locksmiths with cold hands in the winter, stories from the road, and over 20 years of doing this work the right way - local, honest, fast.
You'll see us unlocking cars in Frogtown at 6am, fixing stuck deadbolts in Dayton's Bluff, or upgrading security systems in Midway. We cover all of St Paul and the surrounding towns. And yeah - we work 24/7, because lockouts don't care about your schedule.
A guy once called us after locking himself out of his apartment... with his cat still inside, meowing by the window. It was 10°F outside. We had him back in within 20 minutes. The cat was unimpressed, but he wasn't.
It happens. People slam doors with keys still on the counter. Kids lock bathroom doors. Ignitions seize up. Garage remotes fail. We've handled it all - calmly, quickly, and without any judgment. If you're in St Paul and locked out, we're already halfway there.
We do more than unlock doors. We secure homes. Whether you just bought a place in Highland Park or rent an apartment near University Ave, we recommend rekeying right away. It's quick, affordable, and removes access from old tenants, ex-roommates, or whoever the last owner gave a key to and forgot about.
We once worked with a woman in Como who kept finding her door unlocked when she swore she'd locked it. Turned out a maintenance guy from five years ago still had a spare. We rekeyed everything and added a keypad. Problem solved.
From deadbolt installation to sliding door locks, we make sure your place stays yours. And yes - we work on vintage doors, weird hinges, frozen frames, and all the old St Paul quirks that come with century homes.
Dealerships will charge you $300 and make you wait three days. We cut and program car keys on the spot, wherever you are - even if that's the side of the road in snow boots. No need to tow. No need to wait.
We had a guy from West St Paul drop his key in the sewer during a snowstorm. We were there in 40 minutes, made him a new chip key, and had him driving before his pizza got cold. True story.
Lost car key replacement is one of our most common calls. We also reprogram remotes, fix jammed ignitions, and unlock trunks. If it rolls, we probably know how to unlock it better than the people who made it.
If you own a business, you know the panic of a front door that won't open 10 minutes before you unlock for the day. We've helped bakeries, dental offices, gyms, warehouses, and apartment buildings all over St Paul fix their locks fast - and upgrade for the long term.
One local mechanic shop had a faulty crash bar that wouldn't latch right. They were using duct tape to hold it overnight. We swapped it with a panic bar, reinforced the door, and threw in new keys for the staff. They called us again two months later for a smart lock on the side office. We must be doing something right.
We offer commercial lock replacement, high-security deadbolts, master key systems, access control, and advice you can actually use. No fluff, no upsells.
We hear it all the time - "Is St Paul MN safe?" The answer: mostly, yeah. But no city is perfect. Things happen. That's why having reliable locks matters, and why having a number for trusted locksmiths near me isn't just convenient - it's smart. Whether it's upgrading old deadbolts, installing cameras, or just fixing that side door that never quite latches, we help keep your space one step ahead. Safe isn't a guarantee, but it's something you can build - and we're here to help you do that.
Want to stop hiding your spare key under the flower pot? We'll set you up with a keypad or smart lock that makes life easier - and more secure. Most folks just want something that works when it's -10°F out and their hands are full. We get that.
Smart door locks aren't all the same. Some drain batteries fast, some glitch, and some flat-out freeze in January. We test the models we recommend. A family in North End had us install one with app access and unique codes for the dog walker, kids, and neighbor. Everyone gets in when they need to, and the owners get notifications every time. Peace of mind - with zero keys to copy.
We also install commercial security cameras, especially in shared entryways and alley-facing doors. We'll walk you through the options without talking over your head.
A sticky deadbolt is warning you. So is that key you have to jiggle 14 times. These things never fail at convenient times. We do full lock repair and deadbolt upgrades. We even carry hardware that works better in wood doors that swell and shift with the seasons.
We helped a landlord in Dayton's Bluff replace 8 deadbolts in one building. The old locks had been painted over and barely turned. Tenants were frustrated. We rekeyed the whole building and matched all units to a master key system. Now management is happy - and so are the renters.
It's late. It's snowing. Your key broke off in the ignition. Or your front door won't latch and it's 2am. We get those calls every day. Don't overthink it - call us. We answer. We show up. We get it done. And we don't charge crazy fees for it either.
UTS Locksmith St Paul is local, licensed, bonded, and trusted. You're not just hiring a 24 hour locksmith - you're hiring people who live and work in this city and actually give a damn.
