Locked Out of Your Home? We Can Help
We open your door with professional tools — no drilling, no broken locks, no damage. And if your keys are lost rather than misplaced, we can rekey or change your locks on the spot so you're secure again the same visit.
What to Do If You're Locked Out of Your Home
Getting locked out is stressful, but it's also one of the most routine calls we handle. Here's what actually happens, and how to make it go as smoothly as possible.
What to Do the Moment You're Locked Out
Stay calm, check any other doors or windows you know are unlocked, and call or text us with your address and a general description of the lock if you can. Don't try to force the door or a window — that's the fastest way to turn a lockout into a repair bill.
How We Get You Back In
In almost every case, we use non-destructive entry methods — picking or manipulating the lock so it opens without damage to the door or frame. Forced or destructive entry is a last resort, only used when the lock itself is broken or non-destructive methods genuinely won't work, and we'll always explain why before doing it.
How Fast Can a Locksmith Actually Get to You?
Response time depends on where you are and what else is on the schedule, but we pick up every call and give you an honest ETA right away — no vague windows, no runaround.
What It Costs to Get Back Into Your Home
Lockout pricing depends on the type of lock and how it's accessed, and we quote it before starting, not after. There's no trip charge just for showing up to give you a number.
Locked Out With Kids or Pets Inside
If someone or a pet is inside and it's urgent, say so when you call — we prioritize based on what you tell us, and non-destructive entry is usually just as fast as any other method, so it rarely changes the approach.
Common Causes of Home Lockouts
A key left inside, a lock that jams or fails, a key that breaks off in the cylinder, or simply a door that locks automatically behind you are the most common reasons we get called out. It happens to careful people all the time — it's not a judgment call, just a job.
Broken Key Stuck in the Lock
If a key snaps off inside the lock, don't try to dig it out yourself — that often pushes the broken piece further in or damages the pins. We carry extraction tools to remove broken key fragments cleanly, and can usually cut a new key or rekey on the spot.
Lockouts at Rental Properties
If you're a tenant, check your lease for who to call first — some landlords want to be notified. We're happy to work directly with tenants for lockouts, and can also coordinate with property managers when needed.
Should You Rekey After a Lockout?
Not automatically — a lockout by itself doesn't mean your lock was compromised, and if we got in with non-destructive entry, the hardware is unaffected. But if you're not sure how many other keys are out there, it's a reasonable time to consider it while we're already on-site.
What to Have Ready When You Call
Your address, a description of the lock or door if you know it, and ID or proof you live there if we haven't met before — a quick way to confirm we're helping the right person get into their own home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get me back in without breaking the lock?
In most cases, yes. We always try non-destructive entry first — professional picking and bypass techniques that leave your lock working exactly as before. Drilling is a last resort, and we'll tell you before it ever comes to that.
My key broke off inside the lock — can you fix it?
Yes. We extract the broken piece and get the lock working again. If the lock itself is worn out, we can rekey or replace it on the same visit so you leave with working keys in hand.
Do I need to prove I live there?
Yes — we'll ask for ID or proof of residency before opening a home. A licensed locksmith should always check; it's for your protection.
What hours can I call?
Every day of the week, 9am to 7pm — including weekends and most holidays. We don't offer overnight service, but during business hours you'll always reach a real person, never a call center.
Can you unlock a deadbolt?
Yes — deadbolts are one of the most common locks we open. We use non-destructive picking and bypass techniques first, so the deadbolt keeps working exactly as before once you're back in.
