How does a locksmith open a locked door?
Most residential locks can be picked or bypassed, which leaves the lock working exactly as before with your existing keys. Drilling is a last resort for high-security or failed locks. If a lock has to be drilled, the technician tells you first and can fit a replacement on the same visit.
Common house lockouts we handle
- Keys left inside or lost while you were out.
- A door that locked behind you.
- A key that snapped off in the lock. We extract the broken piece and cut a new key.
- A deadbolt or knob that turns but will not open, or will not turn at all.
- A smart lock or keypad with dead batteries or a forgotten code.
- A locked bedroom, bathroom or garage door inside the home.
Should I rekey the locks after a lockout?
If the keys were lost or stolen, rekeying is worth doing. The locks stay on the door, the pins inside are changed, and the old key stops working. It can be done right after the door is opened. See lock rekey and lock change.
Proof that you live there
We ask for a photo ID showing the address, or another document that ties you to the home, such as a lease or a utility bill. If your ID is inside, we check it once the door is open. Landlords and property managers are asked for proof of authority.
