Our Phoenix location

Diamondback Locksmith of Phoenix is the Phoenix line of Diamondback Lock & Key. Family-owned and serving Arizona since 2009. Our technicians come to you, in service vans that carry a key machine and a pinning kit.

Phoenix is a big city: the City of Phoenix divides it into 15 urban villages. Tell us your cross streets or village, the door, lock or vehicle involved, and whether a working key still exists. You get a clear estimate before any work starts.

The northern part of the city also has its own location and phone line: see North Phoenix.

Ignition problems

A key that will not turn, sticks or turns without starting the car. We find which fault it is before replacing parts.

Commercial rekeying, master keys, commercial levers, exit devices, closers and access control.

Commercial locksmith services
Older homes

Locks on older Phoenix homes

Central Phoenix has many older neighborhoods, from the historic districts of the Encanto village to the post-war streets of Alhambra. Doors there often carry older or mixed hardware: a knob from one decade, a deadbolt from another, sometimes a mortise lock set into the edge of the door.

Rekeying works on most pin-tumbler locks whatever their age, as long as the lock still turns smoothly. When a lock is worn out, the new one has to fit the holes already in the door, so tell us the brand and, if you can, send a photo of the lock and the door edge.

Want one key for every door? Mixed brands may need a cylinder or a lock changed first, and we will tell you which before we book.

Condos and apartments

Condos, apartments and shared doors

In a condo or apartment, the door to your unit is the one you can rekey or upgrade, with the landlord’s agreement if you rent. The building entry, pool gate and mailbox may belong to the association or the management, so check with them first.

For landlords, rekeying between tenants retires every key the last tenant held, along with any copies. On a property with several units, each unit keeps its own key.

Businesses

Business locks from downtown to the warehouse door

Downtown offices, Midtown storefronts and warehouses across the city have different doors but the same two questions: who has keys, and does every door latch and lock when it should.

We rekey commercial locks after staff changes, set up master key systems, fit Grade 1 commercial levers and mortise locks, and repair, adjust and replace exit devices and door closers. Access control is planned around the door, the power available and any system already there.

A door that will not latch is often a closer or alignment problem rather than a broken lock, so we look at the whole opening before replacing parts.

More services

More locksmith services in Phoenix

Across all 15 urban villages, from Encanto and Alhambra to Camelback East and South Mountain, our locksmiths take on more than the jobs above. Car key replacement and key fob replacement and programming are done where the vehicle is, for supported makes, and key duplication makes spare keys for a new tenant, a roommate or a second driver.

House lockouts and car lockouts are mobile calls, so give us your cross streets or village. Downtown offices, Midtown storefronts and warehouses can book commercial locksmith work.

FAQ

Common questions

If yours is not here, call and ask — (602) 858-3101.

Which parts of Phoenix do you cover?

All of Phoenix. Technicians come to you, so give us your cross streets or urban village when you call.

North Phoenix also has its own location and phone line.

Can you rekey an older lock?

Usually, if the lock still turns smoothly. Rekeying changes the pins, not the condition of the lock.

A worn or damaged lock needs repair or replacement, and the new lock has to fit the existing holes in the door.

My car key turns but the car will not start. Is it the key or the ignition?

Often it is the key: a transponder key has to be programmed to the car, and a cut key alone will not start the engine.

A key that will not turn, sticks, or turns too freely points to the ignition instead. Tell us the symptoms and the year, make and model.

Can I rekey my apartment door?

Your own unit door, yes, with the landlord’s agreement if you rent.

Shared doors, pool gates and mailboxes usually belong to the association or management, so check with them first.

Are emergency callouts available in Phoenix?

Yes. Emergency callouts run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Call (602) 858-3101 with your location and we will tell you when a technician can reach you.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Diamondback Lock and Key is licensed, insured and bonded, and is an ALOA member.

ALOA is the ALOA Security Professionals Association, formerly the Associated Locksmiths of America.
