UTS Locksmith St Paul
Your house isn't just a place to sleep. It's where you should feel safe. At UTS Locksmith St Paul, we help make that happen. Whether you're moving in, upgrading your locks, or dealing with a sudden emergency, we're the locksmiths people around the Twin Cities call when it really matters.
We've rekeyed townhomes in West 7th, installed smart locks in Highland Park, and rescued families locked out in the middle of a St Paul snowstorm. Over the past 20+ years, we've seen it all. And we've helped fix it, fast.
We'll say it again because it's that important: rekey your locks the day you move in. We once had a couple in Como Park who thought they were safe - until a stranger let himself in, thinking it was still his Airbnb rental from two summers ago. No harm done, but it was a wake-up call. Don't roll the dice. A quick rekey keeps old keys from working, and your home truly yours.
We can rekey every exterior door and garage entry in one visit. It's fast, affordable, and way cheaper than a lock change. We do this every single day across St Paul. It's a no-brainer.
One guy stepped out in slippers to grab his mail. Wind slammed the door shut. No phone, no shoes, 8am. He borrowed a neighbor's phone, called us, and was back inside before his coffee got cold.
We unlock doors without damage - wood, metal, vintage, storm, you name it. And we won't shame you for forgetting your keys. We get it. We've done it too. We always pick up, and we always show up.
There are still houses in St Paul with locks from the 70s. Some of them barely turn when it's cold. We install fresh deadbolts, reinforced strike plates, anti-drill cylinders - the works. Need something stronger? We can upgrade to high-security locks that resist bumping, picking, and brute force.
One family in Dayton's Bluff had two exterior doors with mismatched locks and no idea who had keys. We set them up with a matching system and added a door viewer for extra peace of mind. Now they lock up with one key and sleep easier.
Not all smart locks are created equal. Some glitch. Some freeze. Some run through batteries like crazy. We help you choose the ones that actually work on St Paul homes. Whether you want a keypad, fingerprint reader, or phone app access, we'll walk you through what makes sense for your door, budget, and lifestyle.
We installed one for a couple in Summit Hill who wanted to give their dog sitter temporary access. We set unique codes that expire when they want. No spare keys, no stress, no surprises.
If your key only works when you wiggle it just right, or your deadbolt doesn't sit flush, you're at risk. Those little problems become big ones fast. We repair and replace residential locks daily - jammed latches, misaligned bolts, stuck cylinders, rusted thumb turns, all of it.
Quick tip: if your deadbolt doesn't extend fully when locked, it's not really locked. We can fix that in under 20 minutes with a simple adjustment or fresh install. You'd be surprised how many doors in St Paul we find misaligned from years of seasonal swelling.
We don't just work on front doors. We rekey mailbox locks for apartments, install keyed handles on garage entry doors, and replace those awful sliding door latches that jiggle open with a firm knock. Want a better patio lock? We've got plenty. We even installed a keypad on a backyard shed once for a dad who kept losing his lawnmower key.
We get asked all the time - "Is St Paul MN safe?" It's a good city. But no place is perfect. That's why we do more than just fix locks. We look at the whole picture - your entry points, lighting, door strength, and how your locks really perform. One of our techs helped a family near Snelling add reinforced strike plates and a peephole after they heard about a neighbor's break-in. It's the little stuff that makes you feel safer.
Search "residential locksmith" or "locks near me" and you'll see a dozen names. But most aren't even based in St Paul. We are.
