Lockouts
Lockout Services
Being locked out is unsettling, and so is a door that has been tampered with. The services here are built around two things: getting you safely inside or safely secured, and leaving the lock in a state you can trust.

Locked out of a home or business, a key snapped in the lock or a lock that has seized: entry with the least damage, then the door secured again.

Other ways in, and other locks on the same key
Before working on the front door, the locksmith asks about the rest of the house. A back door, a side entrance from the garage or a walkout basement may be on the same key or on a different one, and occasionally a family member with a spare is closer than anyone realized. Knowing whether the front and back locks are keyed alike also matters later: if one cylinder is rekeyed after a lost key, the others should follow so the household stays on a single key.
A short tour of the openings takes a minute and often changes which door gets worked on and how.
