Cave Creek Lock
Locksmith services
Carefree / Cave Creek Lock & Key LLC provides locks & locksmith services for residential, commercial, specialty, and safe work — plus key cutting, combination changes, sensor and peephole installs, and repairs most van-only services will not touch.
Locks & Rekeys
Residential and commercial lock repair, rekey, hardware matching, and security upgrades — including Emtek, Baldwin, Schlage, and hard-to-find parts.
Whether you just bought a home or simply need every lock working the same key again, we rekey, repair, and improve door hardware without forcing a full replacement. We service Emtek, Baldwin, Schlage Mediterranean series, mortise and tubular locks, and many odd or discontinued designs. Matching hardware to the rest of your house matters — and keeping what already fits your doors usually costs less than starting over.
- Residential & commercial rekeys
- Emtek, Baldwin & Schlage repairs
- Deadbolt throw & alignment fixes
- Hardware matching for older homes
Safe & Vault Repair
Combination work, forgotten codes, repairs, and service for older and current safe and vault locks — with machine-shop support when parts are scarce.
Forgot the combination? Safe or vault lock acting stubborn? We open and repair locked, barely working, or non-working safe and vault mechanisms so they behave again. Many no-longer-available older parts are kept in stock, and when something truly cannot be sourced we can turn to a small machine shop so the unit keeps working for years.
- Forgotten combination service
- Safe & vault lock repair
- Older / discontinued parts
- Machine-shop fabrications when needed
Master Key Systems
Keyed systems that keep homes, offices, and properties organized — practical security without replacing every lock you already own.
Master key systems keep family homes, guest houses, offices, and multi-door properties organized: one key for leadership access, limited keys for tenants or staff. We design and implement systems that fit how you actually use the property — not a one-size truck-side pitch.
- Home & office key hierarchy
- Multi-property planning
- Rekey into a shared system
- Practical security without waste
Emergency & After Hours
Call when you need help securing a property after hours. Local, licensed, and here when it matters.
Please call for after-hours service. Whether a door will not secure before a closing, a lock failed at the worst time, or you need a trusted local shop instead of a nameless van, we are reachable by phone. We examine, repair, and quote carefully — including pre-acquisition walk-throughs so a house can be secured before the sale closes.
- After-hours phone response
- Secure-before-closing help
- On-site assessment & repair
- Licensed, bonded & insured
In-Shop Key Work
Thousands of blanks on site: odd keys, antique keys, safety deposit boxes, and specialty cuts that big-box shops cannot handle.
Thousands of keys on site. We remake lost keys to most any lock and cut odd blanks others refuse — safety deposit boxes, juke boxes, old phones, gumball machines, institutional specialty keys, and even extremely old patterns. Unlike many competitors, we have a real shop location: call us, or come in when you need working keys made.

- Safety deposit & specialty keys

Home & Community Security
From tack rooms to safe rooms — we live here and know how North Valley properties actually get secured.
We live in this community and understand local properties: ranch outbuildings, tack rooms, guest casitas, safe rooms, and everyday front doors. We also look for security defects that get built into homes at manufacture — such as deadbolts that never fully throw and can be pried open. Those are often corrected while we are already on site, instead of waiting for a painful surprise later.
- Residential security reviews
- Outbuilding & safe-room hardware
- Sensor & peephole installs
- Local defect awareness
After-hours & specialty hardware
Please call (480) 488-9842 for after-hours service. We have fabricated latches for Schlage Mediterranean series for years, and can source compatible replacements for older elegantly styled locks so you are not stuck with an inferior aftermarket part. If you need a safe opened because you forgot the combination, we deliver careful work — that is the guarantee.
Cave Creek Lock no longer opens vehicles.
