We've been the go-to locksmiths in Covina for over 20 years, and we still treat every call like it's from a neighbor. Whether it's 2 PM on a Tuesday or 2 AM on a Sunday, we pick up, we show up, and we get you back on track without turning it into a production. From homes and businesses to cars, we handle it all with a mix of experience, local know-how, and a little common sense.
Keeping your home secure is about more than just a lock on the door. We've rekeyed entire houses after a move, replaced deadbolts that gave up after years of daily use, and installed smart locks for families who want to control access from their phones. Once, we got a call from a family in West Covina locked out after taking out the trash. We confirmed ID, opened the door without a scratch, and rekeyed right then because a spare key was still floating around from an old roommate. They now keep a backup with a trusted neighbor - our suggestion, their peace of mind.
Tip: Rekey your locks when you move in. It's quick, affordable, and you'll know exactly who has a copy of your key.
Covina's businesses run on schedules, and a jammed lock can ruin a day. We install and maintain master key systems, rekey after staffing changes, fix panic bars, repair door closers, and set up restricted keyways so keys don't multiply without permission. A Citrus Ave shop owner once called right before opening - their front door wouldn't turn. We swapped the worn cylinder, adjusted the strike plate, and they opened on time. That's the kind of morning we like.
Tip: Have a "last key in" check before locking up at night. It prevents those "I think my keys are inside" moments the next morning.
Car trouble isn't just about engines - sometimes it's about keys that disappear or stop working. We handle car key replacements, transponder key programming, ignition repairs, and of course, lockouts. A driver near Azusa Ave once called us from a parking lot when their fob quit. We checked the battery first (always start simple), cut and programmed a new key, and gave them a flat emergency blade to keep in their wallet. They left with a plan, not just a fix.
Tip: Before a long trip, replace your fob battery and take a picture of your key code tag. That photo can turn a long wait into a quick visit if you need a new key.
We're a true 24 hour locksmith in Covina, not just a number that rings somewhere far away. We give real ETAs based on where the closest locksmith actually is, and our after-hours rates are clear upfront. No bait-and-switch. We've handled everything from early morning storefront lock changes to middle-of-the-night home lockouts. One holiday evening, we helped a family get back inside after their front door latch jammed. They were back to their dinner in minutes, no damage done.
Not every job means replacing a lock. Sometimes it's about fixing a misaligned strike plate, tightening a loose handle, or cleaning out years of gunk so the key turns smoothly. We believe in repairing when it makes sense, replacing when it doesn't, and always leaving the hardware working better than we found it.
Tip: If your lock needs a little "shoulder bump" to close, that's a sign it needs an adjustment. It's an easy fix and will make your door last longer.
From keypad locks to high-security deadbolts, we install systems that fit your needs. Some customers want the convenience of app control, others want hardware that can take serious abuse. We've set up Wi-Fi-enabled locks in new builds, upgraded security in older homes, and even outfitted small offices with keyless entry that tracks who's coming and going.
We also handle safes, filing cabinets, and other secure storage. If you've lost the combination or the key, we can open it and help you reset or rekey for future use. We once opened a stuck safe in a Covina home that turned out to be holding family heirlooms. The relief on their faces made our week.
Our customers say it best: "You explained everything in plain language." "You treated my door like it was yours." "You fixed the problem and the little thing that had been bugging me for months." "You didn't make me feel silly for locking myself out." These aren't flashy jobs, but they're the ones that build trust - and that's why people call us again and again.
We work all over Covina, West Covina, Azusa, Glendora, San Dimas, Baldwin Park, and the rest of the San Gabriel Valley. Our vans are stocked so we can finish most jobs in one visit, and we know the area well enough to avoid the worst traffic when getting to you. Local knowledge saves time - and in a lockout, that matters.
Whether you need a residential locksmith in Covina, a commercial locksmith for your shop, an auto locksmith for a lost key, or an emergency locksmith in the middle of the night, UTS Locksmith Covina is ready. Call us, tell us what's going on, and we'll be there with the right tools and a straightforward plan. We've been doing this for over 20 years, and we're not slowing down.
