Locked out of your house?

Being locked out is stressful, and stress makes people do expensive things — like breaking a window or forcing a door. A broken window costs more than the callout. A forced door often means a new frame, not just a new lock. In almost every case a locksmith is both cheaper and faster.

We’re fully mobile, so we come to you rather than asking you to travel. Arrival time depends on your location, traffic, technician availability, and current call volume. Call us for the current estimated arrival time.

How we get you back in

The goal is always non-destructive entry — opening the lock without damaging it, so you keep the hardware you already have. Depending on the lock, that usually means picking or bypassing the cylinder. Standard residential deadbolts and knob locks open this way the large majority of the time.

Some locks can’t be opened non-destructively. High-security cylinders and certain damaged locks may need to be drilled and replaced, and we’ll tell you before we start if that’s the situation, along with what the replacement costs. You won’t find out afterwards.

What to have ready

Locksmiths are required to confirm you have the right to enter. Nothing complicated — a driver’s licence with the address, a piece of mail, a lease, or a utility bill will do. If your ID is inside the house, we can usually work through it another way; just mention it when you call.

While you wait

  • Check every other door and any ground-floor windows first. People find an unlocked back door more often than you’d think.
  • Don’t try to force a card or a screwdriver into the latch — it typically damages the strike and the door edge without opening anything.
  • If a child or pet is inside and at risk, or it’s dangerously cold, call 911 first.

Avoiding the next one

After a lockout is a good time to fix the underlying problem. A lock rekey can restore key control without replacing good hardware, while a properly cut spare key can help prevent another lockout. We also install smart locks with keypad or phone entry if you would rather not depend on a physical key at all.
