Rio Verde

Out past the edge of Scottsdale

Rio Verde is about 28 miles northeast of Scottsdale’s historic center, next to McDowell Mountain Regional Park, the Tonto National Forest and the Verde River. It is an unincorporated, census-designated place in Maricopa County, ZIP code 85263, built around an age-restricted golf community founded in 1973. Tonto Verde is close by, and the Rio Verde Foothills is a separate unincorporated area nearby.

Out here, distance matters. Call first, and we will tell you when a technician can get to you.

Homes

Keys for a home you leave for the summer

Many homes in Rio Verde and Tonto Verde are lived in for part of the year, which means someone else often looks after them: a house-watcher, a cleaner, a neighbor. A keypad deadbolt gives each of them their own code, which you delete when you no longer need it, so no keys go missing while you are away. Some smart locks also let you change codes from your phone.

If keys have already been handed out, rekeying makes them all stop working and keeps the locks on your doors. If your community has a gate, tell us how to get through it when you book.

Gates and mailboxes

Gate and mailbox locks

In the Rio Verde Foothills and around Rio Verde, we rekey and replace gate locks and mailbox locks, and where the gate hardware takes a compatible cylinder, we key it to match the house. A gate lock out in full sun wears faster than a front-door lock, so one that grinds or sticks is worth replacing before it fails.

Vehicles and lockouts

Car keys, fobs and lockouts

A lost car key is a bigger problem out here than in town, so a spare is worth having. We cut and program replacement keys, replace and pair fobs and remotes, and open locked cars where they are parked. Tell us the year, make and model and whether a working key is left.

Locked out of the house or the car? Emergency callouts run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

More services

This far out, a spare is worth making before you need it. Key duplication gives you a second house key, or a copy for the house-watcher, and our locksmiths can cut and program a spare car key for supported vehicles.

If the last car key is lost, car key replacement is done where the vehicle is parked, and key fob replacement and programming covers a remote that has stopped working. House lockouts and car lockouts are mobile calls across Rio Verde, Tonto Verde and the Rio Verde Foothills. Community buildings and businesses can ask about commercial locksmith work as well.

I had to use this locksmith on Monday, which happened to be a holiday, and I couldn’t have been more impressed with the service! They responded incredibly quickly, were very professional and friendly, and had the job taken care of fast. Their customer service was excellent, especially considering it was a holiday. I really appreciated how easy and stress-free they made the whole situation. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a reliable and responsive locksmith!

Needed the house rekeyed this morning after an old roommate moved out and I didn't trust that every copy came back. Diamondback Lock and Key made it quick and easy, in and out in under an hour for four locks.

One of our front door locks failed completely on a Friday afternoon. Customers still coming in, employees trying to leave for the weekend. Not a good situation. If your business is in Chandler and you need commercial lock work done fast, Diamondback Lock and Key is who you want. Been in this building almost 14 years and dealt with a few locksmiths over that time. Nobody moved this quick. They had someone out before I even had time to start stressing about it. The tech knew exactly what he was looking at. Didn't try to sell me a full replacement when a repair was the right call. That matters when you're standing there watching the clock. Everything was solid by the time he left and we didn't lose more than an hour of business. For a commercial property owner thats everything.

Louis was amazing. I was dealing with an “incorrect key ID” error and a car that wouldn’t start. After programming the key, he wasn’t satisfied when the problem came back and strongly suggested I have the battery tested again. He was right. It turned out I had both a key issue and a failing battery. What stood out most was his customer service. I was stressed, overwhelmed, and having a rough day, and he treated me with kindness, patience, and a great attitude. He genuinely cared about solving the problem instead of just completing the job. Highly recommend!

Great service! They solved my problem the same day and sent a great guy who took only 30 minutes to cut and program my car key. I will recommend them anytime and will call them again for future projects.

Never used them before but Luis came out last week and got our business locks working again and I was so relieved it didn't take all day.

Our back door at the shop was a nightmare. You'd push it shut and it just wouldn't catch unless you basically kicked it into place. Eran from Diamondback Lock and Key in Chandler came out, took one look at it, and said the mechanism was dry. He hit it with graphite spray and the door closed smooth on the first try. Charged us a reasonable amount for the visit. Wish I'd called sooner.

FAQ

Common questions

If yours is not here, call and ask — (602) 388-1201.

Do you come out to Rio Verde?

Yes. Rio Verde, Tonto Verde and the Rio Verde Foothills are part of our service area.

Call (602) 388-1201 and we will tell you when a technician can get there. Arrival depends on where our technicians are that day.

Is Rio Verde the same as the Rio Verde Foothills?

No. Rio Verde is a member-owned, age-restricted golf community, and the Rio Verde Foothills is a separate unincorporated area nearby. We cover both.

Can I let a house-watcher in without giving them a key?

Yes. A keypad deadbolt or smart lock lets you give them their own code and delete it when you are back.

Choose a lock that still takes a key, so a flat battery is never a lockout.

Is there a Diamondback branch in Rio Verde?

No. Rio Verde is part of our mobile service area, booked through our Chandler line.
