Common home lockout situations
- You stepped outside and the door locked behind you
- Your keys are lost, stolen or left inside
- A key broke off in the lock
- The lock is jammed or the deadbolt will not turn
- You just moved in and the keys do not work
How we get you inside
Most home lockouts can be solved with non-destructive techniques that leave the lock and door intact. We only recommend drilling or replacing a lock if there is no other way, and we explain it and get your approval first.
Lost keys? Think about rekeying
If your keys are lost or stolen, getting back in is only half the job. Anyone who finds them may know where you live. We can rekey your locks on the spot so the old keys no longer work.
Avoid the next lockout
- Leave a spare key with someone you trust, not under the mat or in a fake rock
- Consider a keypad or smart lock so you never need a key
- Check that the door closes and latches fully so it does not stay unlocked or jammed
What affects the price
Every job is different, so we quote it before we dispatch. The main things that affect the price are your location and distance, the time of day, the type of job, and the lock or vehicle involved.
