Getting to Cave Creek from San Tan Valley
Cave Creek is on the far north edge of the Valley, about 71 miles from Scott's base by road. Typical lockout prices apply within 15 driving miles, so Cave Creek addresses are call for pricing. Ask for the price and timing on your job before Scott heads out, and for non-emergency work, schedule ahead. The distance is an approximate driving route measured in October 2026.

Cave Creek areas Scott covers
Cave Creek covers about 38 square miles between Carefree to the east, Desert Hills to the west, Phoenix to the south and the Tonto National Forest to the north. Scott covers all of it, including:
- Cave Creek Road and Frontier Town: the historic center of town, where some of the original structures still stand, along with restaurants and shops.
- Black Mountain: the 3,398-foot peak on the town's southern edge, on the border with Carefree.
- Spur Cross Ranch: the area around the 2,154-acre Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area, once a 1928 guest ranch and now home to Hohokam petroglyphs and trails.
- Cave Creek Regional Park: the area around the 2,922-acre county park, with campsites, horse rentals and a nature center.

What Cave Creek homeowners call about
Cave Creek is rural by design. The town's zoning sets minimum lot sizes as large as 190,000 square feet, and its Desert Rural zones allow private ranches with horses, corrals and barns. Almost every home is owner-occupied: 94.6%, with a median home value of $906,100, according to the Census. That shapes the work:
- Homes and outbuildings: Scott rekeys and installs locks on houses, casitas, garages, barns and tack rooms, and can key them so one key opens everything you want it to.
- Rekeys after a purchase: keys from the previous owner, agents, contractors and caretakers may still be out there. A rekey changes the pins inside your existing locks so only your new keys work. More on rekeying and home locks.
- Part-year and older residents: about 41% of residents are 65 or older. If you're away part of the year or hand keys to a caretaker, a rekey before you leave keeps things simple.
- Safes: opening a safe when the combination is lost or the keypad dies, replacing safe locks, and moving safes. More on safe services.
Locksmith service for Cave Creek businesses
Cave Creek's restaurants, shops and offices serve both residents and the visitors who come for hiking, riding and the town's events. Scott handles the work a business needs: rekeys after staff changes, master key systems, exit devices and panic bars, door closers, high-security cylinders, and safe service. Businesses can pay by card, Zelle or check, or set up purchase orders and net terms with a written agreement. More on commercial locksmith service.

Cave Creek is a long drive from San Tan Valley, so ask about the price and timing when you call. If a child, pet or anyone at risk is locked inside a car, call 911 first. Arizona heat makes a closed car dangerous within minutes. More on emergency lockouts.
