01 · Overview

Stay safe first

If a child, a pet or a vulnerable person is locked inside a car or a house, or you think someone is inside your home, call 911 first. A locksmith is for getting a door open, not for emergencies where minutes matter to someone's health or safety.

Resist the urge to force a window or pry the door. The repair bill afterwards is usually higher than the locksmith's.

What to tell the dispatcher

Give the exact address or cross streets, the type of lock or vehicle, and whether anyone is in danger. Ask for the service call fee and the likely total before the locksmith is sent. A fair locksmith will explain what can change the price, such as a high-security lock or a lock that has to be drilled.

04 · Tips

After a break-in

Once the police have been and the report is filed, the first job is to make the door lockable again. That may mean a new cylinder, a reinforced strike plate with longer screws, or a temporary fix until the frame is repaired. Rekey any lock whose key may have been taken.

05 · FAQ

Questions about emergency work

How quickly can someone get to me?

It depends on where the nearest locksmith is and what else is booked. Call to check availability; you will be given an estimate, not a promise.

Is there an extra charge at night or on holidays?

The live site says there is no extra charge for nights, weekends, holidays or emergencies. Confirm the total on the phone before work begins.

Will you need to drill my lock?

Most lockouts are opened without drilling. Drilling is a last resort for some high-security or damaged locks, and the locksmith should tell you before doing it.
