House Lockout Service
Locked out of your home? We arrive fast and unlock your door without damage.
Standing on your own porch with no way in is one of those special kinds of frustrating. Before you climb in a window (don't), break something, or call a company that 'starts at $19' but ends at $400, give us a call. We pick almost every residential lock in 5 to 15 minutes with zero damage.
We work on every common residential lock — Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Defiant, Master Lock, plus higher-security options like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock. Smart locks (Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, August, Google Nest) are also unlocked with manufacturer-approved override methods.

Common scenarios
Real situations we get called for — and what they typically cost.
Stepped outside, door blew shut
Wind gust, dog walk, garbage run — door auto-locks behind you. Most common house lockout we get. 5-10 minute pick on a typical Schlage or Kwikset, $75 total.
Lost keys, no spare
We open the door, then offer immediate rekey ($25/cylinder) so the lost keys don't matter even if they turn up in a stranger's hands. Combined call usually $150-200 for a 4-door home.
Locked out at night with kids inside
We prioritize lockouts with people inside. Call us, mention the situation — and call 911 if there's any safety concern (heat, cold, medical). Police often open doors faster in these cases.
