We're open every day, around the clock. Response times depend on traffic, weather and how many calls are already waiting, so we'll give you a realistic estimate rather than a promise we can't keep.
While you wait
- Stay somewhere safe and well lit; in a car, sit inside a nearby business if you can.
- If someone is in danger, such as a child or pet locked in a car on a hot day, call 911 first.
- Avoid forcing a window or prying the door. It usually costs more to repair than the lockout.
- Have ID ready so the technician can confirm you live there or own the vehicle.
After a break-in
Once the police have been, we can secure the property: repair or replace damaged locks, rekey the remaining doors in case keys were taken, and talk through stronger deadbolts or reinforcing the strike plate.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more at night?
Ask when you call. We'll quote the full price, including any after-hours rate, before a technician is sent.
How soon can someone arrive?
It depends on where you are and what's already scheduled. We'll give you an honest estimate on the phone and call if anything changes.
Can you rekey my locks the same visit?
Usually, yes. Technicians carry rekeying kits, so after a lost-key lockout we can often make the old keys useless before we leave.
