HOUSE LOCKOUT
THINGS TO CONSIDER DURING A HOUSE LOCKOUT
A home lockout can occur at the most inconvenient time, making the situation extremely frustrating. However, it is very important to not panic and create an even bigger issue by attempting to use force to gain entry into your home. Breaking a door or window is completely unnecessary and can be very costly. In addition, that type of damage could take days to repair and leave your home unsecured during that time, as replacement parts may need to be ordered. Remaining calm and calling a professional locksmith will be the most reasonable approach in this type of situation. Our locksmiths always take the path of least resistance in order to save you time and money. However, there are additional options to consider if you are locked out of an apartment, as outlined by Redfin.

WILL THE LOCK BE DAMAGED?
Our locksmiths always employ the safest and most effective methods to unlock doors. In most cases, the door can be unlocked without any damage. In some rare instances, a high security or defective lock that cannot be bypassed using conventional methods may need to be drilled. However, our locksmiths are equipped to replace your lock on site once the door is open.
CAN THE KEYS BE REPLACED?
If you have lost the set of keys to your home we can issue a new set of keys, depending on your door lock. We can also change or rekey the lock if you are concerned about someone gaining access to your lost keys.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO UNLOCK A HOUSE DOOR?
Unlocking a conventional house door is usually a quick process for our locksmiths. The process can be as quick as a few minutes for typical locks without any issues. High security and defective locks can take significantly more time, depending on the type and issue.
