How a lockout call works
- Call and describe the situationWhere you are, the type of door or vehicle, and whether anyone (a child or pet) is inside. If someone is in danger, call 911 first.
- Get a quote firstWe explain the likely method and give you a price before any work starts.
- Show proof of accessOur technician will ask for ID or other proof that you live at, own or are authorized to enter the property or vehicle.
- Non-destructive entry where possiblePicking or bypass tools are tried first. Drilling is a last resort, and we tell you before we do it.
- Rekey or replace if neededIf keys were lost or stolen, ask about rekeying so the old keys stop working.
Why the ID check matters
Asking for identification protects you. A locksmith who opens any door for anyone is a risk to every property owner in Maywood. If your ID is locked inside, tell us when you call and we will work out another way to confirm you belong there.
After you are back in
A lockout is a good moment to look at the lock itself. Sticky cylinders, worn keys and loose strike plates cause many lockouts. If the lock is old, our technician can talk you through a repair or replacement, or a new deadbolt. For car lockouts caused by a failing fob, see key fob replacement.
Frequently asked questions
How long will it take you to arrive?
It depends on where our technicians are when you call and on traffic. We give you an honest estimate on the phone so you can decide.
Will opening the lock damage my door?
We use non-destructive methods first. Some high-security or damaged locks cannot be opened without drilling; if that is the case we tell you, and give you the cost, before going ahead.
Can you open a car with a push-button start?
In many cases yes. Tell us the make, model and year when you call so we can confirm.
