What happens when you call

  1. Tell us where you are

    Give your address, the type of door or vehicle and what has gone wrong.

  2. Get a quote

    We check availability and give you a price before anyone sets off.

  3. We open and secure

    The technician confirms your ID, opens the lock and makes sure it is secure before leaving.

Stay safe while you wait

If you are locked out at night, wait somewhere well lit or with a neighbor. If a child or pet is locked inside a car in hot or cold weather, call 911 first. For a car lockout, stay with the vehicle if it is safe to do so.

After the emergency

If your keys were stolen, opening the door is only half the job. We can rekey or replace the locks straight away so the missing keys no longer work. For a key stuck in the cylinder, see broken key extraction.

Frequently asked questions

Are you open at night and on weekends?

Our listed hours are Monday to Sunday, all day, including holidays. Call to check availability for your location.

How much does an emergency lockout cost?

It depends on the lock, the time of day and your location. We give you a quote over the phone before we send anyone.

What if my keys were stolen?

We can open the door and then rekey or replace the locks on the same visit so the stolen keys no longer work.
