Lost key or locked-in key?

If your key is inside the house, all you need is the door opened. If the key was lost somewhere — at the bars on University Avenue, at the gym, at a football game — think about who could find it. A key on a ring with your car fob or a tag with your address is a security risk. We can rekey your locks right after we open the door, so the lost key stops working.

Rural homes and long driveways

Outside the city — in Archer, Hawthorne, Waldo, La Crosse or the country roads around Newberry and High Springs — homes are often at the end of a long driveway or behind a gate. Tell us about the gate code, the dogs and where to park, and we'll come straight to the door.

While you wait

Stay somewhere safe and cool, and keep your phone charged. If a child is locked inside alone or there's smoke, gas or water leaking, call 911 first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have to drill the lock?

Rarely. Most knob locks and many deadbolts can be opened by picking or bypass tools without damage. If a high-security lock has to be drilled, we tell you first and can replace it on the spot.

Do I need to prove I live there?

Yes. After we open the door, we check an ID with the address, a lease, a utility bill or another document. If you're a renter, your landlord's confirmation also works.

My apartment complex office is closed. Can you still open my door?

Yes, as long as you can show you live there. Some complexes don't allow outside locksmiths on their locks — if your lease says that, check with the office first.

Can you rekey the lock after I get in?

Yes. If your key was lost or stolen, we can rekey right away so the lost key no longer works.
