About Maryvale
Maryvale was built in the 1950s and 1960s as one of the country's big planned suburbs, block after block of block-construction ranch houses on the west side, and it is still mostly single-family homes. In the oldest part, 85031, 54% of homes were built before 1960; across all four ZIP codes 44% of households rent (Census ACS). Many of those rentals are houses rather than apartments, and a rented house may have locks the landlord hasn't changed in years. Worn knob locks, security screen doors with their own lock, and deadbolts added later are the common jobs.
Homes in Maryvale
ACS 2020-2024 estimates put roughly 57,896 housing units in ZIP codes 85031, 85033, 85035, 85037. Renters occupy 44% of them; 27% of households arrived in 2020 or after; 12% of the buildings went up before 1960. Owners in newer houses make up most of the area, so the work is routine: getting back in, rekeying after a purchase, garage keypads, car keys.

Maryvale questions
Do you cover all of Maryvale?
Yes, ZIPs 85031, 85033, 85035, 85037 included. Whoever phones you back checks that your street falls inside their service area before booking a visit.
Will I know the price before work starts?
Yes. We ask each lock business we refer to for a phone total that already counts the trip, and for that same figure when they arrive. A higher number at the door means you can send them away.
Are locksmiths licensed in Arizona?
No. Arizona has no state locksmith license. Title 32 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which sets up every licensed profession from barbers to contractors, has no chapter for locksmiths, and Phoenix doesn't add one. The one state license that can touch lock work is a contractor license from the Registrar of Contractors: under A.R.S. 32-1121, a job of $1,000 or more in parts and labor, or one that needs a building permit, generally calls for a licensed contractor. A lockout or a rekey is nowhere near that. What you can check is the business itself: its name on the Arizona Corporation Commission's eCorp search, a written total before work, and an itemized invoice with that name on it.
