About Lakewood
Lakewood sits between Denver and the foothills, from the Colfax corridor and the Belmar shopping district out to Green Mountain and Bear Creek Lake Park. Most of it went up after World War II; the city's median home was built in 1977 and 42% of households rent (Census ACS). Lakewood police recorded 2,118 vehicle thefts at the 2022 peak and 866 in 2025 (FBI). Trailhead lockouts are a Lakewood specialty: keys locked in the car at Red Rocks or Green Mountain, where the walk to help is long.
Housing in Lakewood
ACS 2020-2024 puts roughly 73,547 housing units in Lakewood city. Renters occupy 42% of them. 31% of households have only been there since 2020, and 16% 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: 27%. Rekey after you move in · Car keys and fobs
The Lakewood numbers
The figures cover the city of Lakewood city inside its own boundary (a Census "place"). Its ZIP codes cross into neighboring towns, so we don't use them here.

Lock jobs we send out in Lakewood
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.
Lakewood questions
Does a locksmith come to every part of Lakewood?
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 Lakewood 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.
