What a house lockout looks like
Most lockouts have the same shape. Someone steps outside to take out the trash, the door swings shut behind them, and the keys are on the kitchen counter. Others are a lock that has started to stick, a key that turns halfway, or a key that broke off in the cylinder.
Tell us which door it is and what kind of lock you can see. A deadbolt, a knob lock and a keypad lock are opened in different ways, and knowing which it is before we leave means the right tools are in the truck.
- Keys left inside the house
- A key broken off in the lock
- A deadbolt that will not turn
- A lock that sticks or feels loose
- A door shut behind a child or a pet

House lockout questions
What should I have ready when I call?
The address, which door is locked, and what the lock looks like. Be ready to show that you live there, since a locksmith should only open a door for the person it belongs to.
Will you need to damage the door to get in?
Locksmiths open most residential locks without damaging them. If a particular lock cannot be opened that way, we tell you before we do anything and explain the options.
Can you change the lock after we are back inside?
Yes. After a lockout many people want the lock rekeyed or replaced, especially when a key is lost. Ask while we are there and we will go through what suits your door.
Do you work on garage entry doors and back doors too?
Yes. Front doors, back doors, side doors and the door between the garage and the house are all things we are called out for. Tell us which one when you call.
Locked out of your house?
Tell us what is locked, leave your number, and we call you back. If it is an emergency, call instead.
