Arapahoe County Security Center
Arapahoe County Security Center is the Aurora half of Arapahoe and Parker Security Centers, a commercial locksmith and security company that has served Aurora, Parker and the Denver metro area since 1985. The company describes itself as locally owned and operated, and fully licensed, bonded and insured in Colorado. Work is split across four areas: commercial locksmithing (master key systems, high-security locks, rekeying, door hardware repair, panic bars and exit devices), residential locksmithing (home lockouts, move-in rekeying, lock repair, Grade 1 deadbolt upgrades, smart locks and break-in hardening), electronic security (ProDataKey cloud access control, credential and photo ID badge printing, and Milesight IP camera systems with NVR and DVR design), and safes (new and used sales, opening, repair, combination changes, installation and anchoring). The shop also cuts and programs transponder keys and fobs, though the site is clear that vehicles must be brought to the Aurora or Parker location for that work. Arapahoe Security is a certified ProDataKey installer and an authorized dealer for Schlage, Medeco, HID, PDK and Milesight, and it offers 24/7 emergency service for commercial and residential customers across the Denver metro.

FAQs
Do you offer emergency locksmith service after hours?
Yes. Arapahoe Security provides 24/7 emergency locksmith service for both commercial and residential customers in Aurora, Parker and the surrounding Denver metro area, including weekends and holidays. The after-hours line is the same as the main number. The company notes that after-hours and holiday calls carry an additional service fee, and that the full price is always quoted before work begins.
How quickly can a technician reach me for a lockout?
For commercial and residential lockouts in Aurora, Parker and the surrounding Denver metro, the company says technicians typically arrive within 30 to 60 minutes. Response times can vary with traffic and technician location, but emergency calls are prioritized and dispatched immediately.
Are your locksmiths licensed and insured in Colorado?
Yes. Arapahoe Security says all of its technicians are fully licensed, bonded and insured to work in Colorado. The company conducts background checks on every employee and technicians carry photo ID, so you can ask to see credentials before allowing anyone access to your property.
What kind of access control systems do you install?
Arapahoe Security is a certified ProDataKey installer and deploys PDK's cloud-native access control platform. That covers cloud-based access with no on-site server, mobile credentials, real-time event logs, remote lock and unlock, and multi-door or multi-site setups. The team handles hardware installation, credential setup and ongoing management, plus card and fob printing, custom HOA and property access cards, and photo ID badges.
Can you make a replacement car key?
Yes, but the vehicle has to come to the shop. Arapahoe Security programs key fobs and transponder keys for many makes and models at its Aurora and Parker locations, and cannot cut or program car keys at your location. Call ahead with the year, make and model. The company says its pricing is typically 40 to 60 percent less than dealership rates.
Do you sell and service safes?
Yes. The company sells new and used safes for commercial and residential use, including fire-rated, burglary-resistant and gun safes, and it handles opening, repair, combination changes, installation and anchoring. Its certified Safe and Vault Technicians can open most safes non-destructively, including mechanical dial, electronic keypad and older vintage models.
Do you provide free estimates?
Arapahoe Security says it provides free estimates and security assessments for commercial clients, and free residential security consultations across the Aurora, Parker and Denver metro area. For residential service work it can usually give a price estimate over the phone once the scope is clear, with all costs explained and agreed on before work starts.
Do you install security cameras as well as locks?
Yes. As an authorized Milesight dealer, the company designs and installs commercial IP camera systems, from a single camera at a small retail location to multi-site systems with AI analytics, license plate recognition and weatherproof or vandal-resistant hardware. NVR and DVR design, remote live view and playback, and multi-site camera management are all part of the service.
