Getting to Tucson from San Tan Valley

Typical lockout prices apply within 15 driving miles, so Tucson jobs are call for pricing. Ask for the price and timing on your job before Scott heads out.

Tucson areas Scott covers

Tucson dates to the Presidio San Agustín del Tucsón, founded in 1775, and incorporated as a city in 1877. It now covers about 241 square miles. I-10 runs through the city toward Phoenix, and I-19 starts here and runs south to Nogales. Scott covers all of Tucson, including:

  • Downtown: the Presidio District, Barrio Viejo and the Congress Street district, where the city's oldest neighborhoods are.
  • Fourth Avenue: northeast of downtown, with more than 140 locally owned shops, bars and cafes.
  • The University of Arizona area: the campus, Main Gate Square, West University and Sam Hughes. The Sun Link streetcar connects them to downtown.
  • Midtown and the east side: along Speedway and Broadway, including Park Place on East Broadway.
  • North Tucson: the Oracle Road corridor and Tucson Mall.
  • Rita Ranch: on the southeast side, next to Vail.

Tucson uses many ZIP codes in the 857xx range. Scott also serves the nearby unincorporated areas, including Catalina Foothills, and the towns around the city. See the Oro Valley page. See the Marana page. See the Vail page.

What Tucson homeowners, renters and landlords call about

Tucson is a city of renters as much as owners: 51.8% of homes are owner-occupied, according to the Census, with a median home value of $266,200. That shapes the work:

  • Rekeys between tenants: the fastest way to make sure a former renter's key no longer opens the door. More on rekeying and home locks.
  • Historic homes: Tucson has more than 20 historic districts on the National Register of Historic Places, from Armory Park and El Presidio (both listed in 1976) to Sam Hughes, Pie Allen and Menlo Park. Scott repairs older locks that are worth keeping, rekeys them, or installs new deadbolts and handlesets.
  • New owners: after you buy, a rekey makes sure keys from the previous owner, agents and contractors no longer work.
  • Keypad and smart locks: handy for rentals, short-term guests and anyone away part of the year.
  • 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 Tucson businesses, schools and government

Tucson's largest employers include the University of Arizona, Tucson Unified School District, Pima County, Banner University Medical Center Tucson and Freeport-McMoRan, according to the city's 2023 financial report. Scott handles the work an office, shop, clinic or property manager needs:

  • Master key systems so each key opens only the doors it should
  • Rekeys after staff changes, so a former employee's key stops working
  • Exit devices, panic bars and door closers
  • High-security cylinders, including Medeco, Mul-T-Lock and Schlage
  • Safes and GSA-approved security containers, including opening, lock changes and inspection

Businesses and government customers can pay by card, Zelle or check, or set up purchase orders and net terms with a written agreement. More on commercial locksmith service. More on GSA and government locksmith work.

I'm a landlord. Should I rekey between tenants?
