Meet The Owner
I'm Leo, owner of Lock Chief Locksmith. My journey to becoming a reliable and personable expert in the field started far from Colorado's peaks. Born in Ukraine and fluent in Russian, I bring a unique blend of cultural insight and communication skills to my craft, making me not just a locksmith but a trusted member of the community.
I grew up in New Jersey, where I learned adaptability and resilience. These traits shine through in my work ethic and dedication to my clients. Whether you're facing a lockout or need expert advice on security systems, my approachable demeanor and unwavering reliability make me stand out.
In 2017, my love for adventure and new challenges brought me to Colorado. It was not just the locksmithing opportunities that drew me in but also the vibrant outdoor culture and the chance to pursue my passions such as kickboxing, tennis, skiing, hiking, and playing the saxophone. As a fan of UFC and boxing, I see parallels between the precision, strategy, and endurance required in sports and in my work as a locksmith.
Being dependable is not just about showing up on time or delivering expert services. It is about building trust with every client, making sure they feel secure and valued. Whether you need emergency locksmith services or want to upgrade your home security, my team of expert technicians has your back. We do not just work with locks, we bring reliability, trust, and a personal touch to every job.
We specialize in automotive locksmith work that most locksmiths won't take on: complex push-to-start programming, European vehicles, and vehicles that came in after a break-in. Our mobile workshop is set up to handle these jobs on-site, which means you get the kind of service you'd normally only get at a dealership, without the dealership price or the wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
Automotive
How much does car key replacement cost in Denver?
It depends on the vehicle — a basic transponder key runs less than a push-to-start fob for a BMW. We give you an exact quote over the phone before coming out, and there are no surprise charges when we arrive. Call (303) 912-3175 with your year, make, and model.
Can you make a car key if I've lost all my keys?
Yes. Even with zero keys to work from, we can cut and program a new key on-site for most vehicles. This is one of the more common jobs we do.
Do you program push-to-start and smart keys?
Yes — this is one of our specialties. We handle push-to-start programming for most makes and models, including vehicles other locksmiths won't take on.
How long does it take to make a car key?
Most standard key jobs take 20–45 minutes on-site. More complex programming (European cars, late-model push-to-start) can take a bit longer, but we'll give you an honest estimate before starting.
Can you make keys for BMW, Mercedes, or Audi?
Yes, for most model years in the 2000s–2010s range. Some newer European vehicles require dealer-only equipment — call us with your year and model and we'll tell you straight away.
My car was broken into and the ignition was damaged. Can you fix it?
Yes. We handle theft damage repair including ignition replacement and door lock repair. You don't need to tow it to a shop.
Residential
How much does it cost to rekey my house locks?
Rekeying is typically much less expensive than replacing locks. We'll give you an exact price on the phone — it varies by the number of locks and lock type.
Can you rekey all my locks so they work with one key?
Yes, and this is one of the most popular things we do for new homeowners. Makes life a lot simpler.
What's the difference between rekeying and changing locks?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so your old key no longer works — the lock hardware stays the same. Replacing locks means installing new hardware. Rekeying is cheaper and works fine for most situations. We'll tell you which one actually makes sense for your situation.
Do you install smart locks and keypads?
Yes — Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Baldwin, Lockly. We can help you pick the right one and install it the same day.
General
