About Aurora
Aurora is Colorado's third-largest city and spreads from the older neighborhoods off East Colfax, next to the Anschutz Medical Campus, east past E-470. The city as a whole is newer than Denver: its median home was built in 1985, and only 8% predate 1960 (Census ACS). 38% of households rent. Aurora went through the same car theft wave as Denver: its police recorded 6,877 vehicle thefts in 2022 and 2,070 in 2025 (FBI). If your car came back after a theft, it may need lock repairs as well as a new key.
Housing in Aurora
ACS 2020-2024 puts roughly 152,377 housing units in Aurora city. Renters occupy 38% of them. 32% of households have only been there since 2020, and 8% of the buildings are older than 1960. Owners in newer houses make up most of the market, so the work is routine: someone locked out, a rekey after closing, a lost car key.
Share of units in buildings with 10 or more apartments: 23%. Rekey after you move in · Car keys and fobs

Lock jobs we send out in Aurora
Three steps
- Reach us however is easiest. Call or text, or use the short form on this page. We need a ZIP, a rough idea of the problem (front door, Subaru, safe) and how soon.
- One Denver-area business rings you. It names itself and quotes a single figure with the drive already in it.
- Yes or no is yours. Should the figure grow once the van shows up, send it away; nothing has been done yet.
Aurora questions
Does a locksmith come to every part of Aurora?
We take requests from anywhere in it. When the locksmith business phones you, it checks the street address against its own range first, so you'll know before you agree to anything.
How do I know what a Aurora lock job will cost?
The business that calls says one figure, with the drive folded in, before it sends anyone. We hold every business we pass requests to to that, and to charging the same figure when it arrives. A bigger number at the door means you can turn it away.
Are locksmiths licensed in Colorado?
No, and Denver has no city license for it either. The Colorado Legislative Council lists more than 100 jobs that need a state license or registration, most of them overseen by DORA's Division of Professions and Occupations, and locksmith isn't on the list. That leaves the company itself to vet. Look up its legal or trade name in the Secretary of State's business search, get the full price in writing before the work, and keep an itemized invoice carrying that same name.
