What is an Emergency Lockout?
An emergency lockout happens when a person that is allowed access to a location (i.e. a residence or business) is unable to get in using the normal methods. This website provides information about several lockout services. For details about the procedures for each service, please see the pages for House Lockout, Office Lockout, and Car Lockout.
-
Emergency House Lockout
For a house, apartment or other authorized residence, review our House Lockout service. If the lock is damaged or a key is compromised, you may also need lock repair or rekeying.
-
Emergency Office Lockout
The Office Lockout page has information about services to give access to business managers and other personnel. If the business key is lost, the next service, Commercial Rekeying, may be required.
-
Emergency Car Lockout
If your keys are locked inside a supported vehicle, review our Car Lockout service. If the only working key is lost, review Car Key Replacement.
Emergency Lockout or Emergency Lock Repair?
Choose Emergency Lockout when you cannot access an authorized property or vehicle. Choose Emergency Lock Repair when a damaged or malfunctioning lock makes access or security unreliable.
Emergency Lockout and Emergency Rekey
If a lock can be rekeyed so that a lost or stolen key will no longer work in it, then rekeying is an option.
What to Do When You are Locked Out
- Determine if an alternate key or other means of access is available.
- Do not force access.
- Inform the locksmith if the key is lost, stolen, or is not working.
- Indicate if the lockout is for a home, business, or vehicle.
- Be prepared to show that you are allowed to have access.
- If a person or animal is in immediate danger, contact 911 or the appropriate emergency service before calling a locksmith.
