At UTS Locksmith Norco, we fix more than locks - we fix stressful situations. Locked out of your car during lunch hour? Just moved and don't feel safe yet? Business keys missing the night before opening? Yeah... we get those calls daily. And we show up ready to help, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Below you'll find what we actually do out there in the real world - not some copy-paste list. These are the services people around Norco count on us for, with real-life examples, helpful advice, and answers to things you probably didn't even know to ask.
One of our most common calls is simple: someone's locked out. It could be a parent on the porch in socks, a college kid stuck in a parking lot, or a night shift nurse getting off work at 3am. No judgment. No hassle. Just quick help from someone who knows what they're doing.
Recently, a client near Shadow Canyon Ranch stepped outside to feed her dog and the wind slammed the door shut. She was barefoot, her phone was still inside, and it was barely 45 degrees out. She borrowed a neighbor's phone and we were there in under 20 minutes. No damage to the door, and the dog got his dinner on time.
Tip for next time? Hide a spare - but not under the mat. We can help you come up with a better spot.
People call us after breakups, new roommates, late-night scares, or just because something doesn't feel right. We help make things feel right again - by rekeying locks, installing better security, or giving you full control with smart locks.
We helped a new homeowner on Temescal Ave rekey every lock the day after she moved in. She had no idea how many people had old keys - real estate agents, contractors, the guy who last mowed the lawn. We made sure she was the only one who could open those doors now.
Thinking about upgrading? Ask us about keypad locks. No more keys to lose, and you can give friends or housekeepers their own code that you can delete any time.
Few things ruin your day faster than locking your keys in the car. Add kids in the backseat, or groceries in the trunk, and it gets stressful fast. We handle these calls every single day - and we bring the right tools, not a coat hanger and a flashlight.
One guy locked himself out in the Boot Barn parking lot with his 3-year-old asleep in the car. His spare was at home - in Riverside. We popped the door in under 90 seconds, and the toddler never even woke up.
And if your key fob just... stops working? We can program a replacement right there in the parking lot. No dealership wait. No tow truck. Just done.
It happens all the time. You're holding your wallet and your phone - but where's your key? Maybe it fell out on the trail. Maybe it's in the trash. Maybe the dog ate it. Doesn't matter. We can make you a new one.
And yes - even for smart keys and push-start systems. We work with everything from old Honda Civics to brand-new Dodge Rams. If your dealer said it would take a week, we can probably beat that by five days.
Pro tip: If your key fob has been acting weird (only works if you press it twice, or you have to stand really close), don't wait. Let us make you a backup before it fails completely.
Whether it's a nail salon or a warehouse, businesses rely on good locks to stay running. We rekey office doors, install push bars, upgrade to high-security systems, and set up smart entry that tracks who's coming and going.
One local auto shop called us after an employee left unexpectedly... and never returned their keys. It was Friday night. They needed new access for Monday. We showed up that night, rekeyed four doors, and set up a keypad for the back entrance. Done before the weekend was over.
Need something similar? We can match your hours - even after close. And if you want a master key system that lets managers in but limits access for staff, we can build that for you.
Most people don't know you don't always have to replace locks to make old keys stop working. Rekeying is fast, smart, and budget-friendly. We adjust the inside pins so only new keys work - you keep the same hardware, save money, and sleep better at night.
Just moved in? Definitely rekey. It's one of the first things we recommend after taking ownership. You never know who might still have an old copy.
Modern cars use high-tech keys - and when they stop working, it feels like everything stops. We program, replace, and repair fobs for just about every brand on the road.
We once helped a woman at George Ingalls Park who dropped her fob in a puddle. It stopped responding. Her car wouldn't start, and the dealership told her they'd need to tow it in and wait two days for parts. We got there in 30 minutes, made a new fob, programmed it in the parking lot, and she drove away smiling.
Yes - we do push-start vehicles. Yes - we do it on-site. And yes - we beat dealer prices.
Ready to ditch keys altogether? We install smart locks that work with your phone, a keypad, or even your voice assistant. Whether it's for your house, Airbnb, or office door, we can walk you through the best options and make sure it's installed clean and works perfectly.
Not sure what brand fits your door? Text us a photo. We'll tell you what works before we even show up. And when we're done, we'll stay to help set up your app, test it, and answer questions so you feel confident using it.
Inherited a locked safe with no code? Bought an old toolbox at auction and can't get it open? We get those calls too. We've opened antique lockers, gun safes, fireproof boxes, and vault-style door locks - all with the right tools and a gentle touch.
Worried we'll have to destroy the safe? In most cases, we can open it non-destructively. And if we do need to drill, we'll explain everything first and give you repair options afterward.
Mailbox key won't turn? Gate lock stuck shut? Tractor ignition broken? We love the oddball calls. If it has a key or a code, we probably know how to fix it - or know some local locksmith who does. Just ask.
We cover all of Norco - from Bluff Street to Hidden Valley - and nearby areas like Corona, Eastvale, and Mira Loma. If you've seen a white van with toolboxes and a friendly face hopping out, that's probably us.
Call UTS Locksmith Norco any time. No scripts, no runaround. Just helpful people who show up and do the job right.
