We Pick, We Don't Drill
This is critical: we use professional lock picking techniques to open your door without damage.
Many locksmiths immediately reach for the drill because it's faster and easier for them. Drilling destroys your lock, forcing you to buy a replacement on the spot—which conveniently increases their profit.
✓ Our Approach:
We take the extra time to pick your lock properly. Our technicians are trained in professional lock manipulation techniques that leave your lock completely functional. You're back inside, your lock still works, and you haven't been forced into an unnecessary lock replacement.
The only time we recommend drilling:
- •The lock is already broken or malfunctioning
- •Someone attempted to pick it improperly and damaged the pins
- •It's a severely corroded lock that's seized up
- •You want the lock replaced anyway for security reasons
Even then, we explain your options and get your approval before drilling anything. Transparency and honesty are our policy.
Common Lockout Situations We Handle
We've seen it all and can handle any lockout scenario professionally.
Lost Keys
Keys are completely gone—maybe stolen, dropped somewhere, or just vanished. We pick your lock open and can rekey it immediately if you're concerned about someone finding your keys.
Keys Locked Inside
You stepped out to grab the mail, the door closed behind you, and you realize your keys are sitting on the kitchen counter. Frustrating, but easily solved. We'll have you back inside in minutes.
Broken Key in Lock
Keys break, especially older keys or those with worn teeth. If a piece of your key snapped off inside the lock, we extract the broken piece and can cut you a new key on the spot.
Lock Stopped Working
Sometimes locks just fail—the pins seize up, the cylinder freezes, something internal breaks. If the lock won't turn even with the right key, we diagnose and fix the problem.
After a Break-In
If someone broke in through another entry point and you can't get in your front door, we'll get you inside quickly so you can assess the situation and start securing your home.
Elderly or Disabled Residents
Lockouts are especially stressful for elderly residents or those with mobility challenges. We treat these situations with extra care and urgency.
No Hidden Fees or Price Gouging
Lockout pricing can be shady in this industry. Some companies quote a low price on the phone, then hit you with surprise fees.
Our Pricing is Straightforward:
We quote a complete price over the phone
No surprises when we arrive
That's what you pay
Unless you request additional work
No surprise fees
No bait-and-switch tactics
Credit cards accepted
Convenient payment options
Whatever we quote is what you pay. No games.
Available Day and Night
Lockouts don't happen on a schedule. We provide emergency lockout service during the day, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays throughout Miami-Dade County.
Whether it's 2pm on a Tuesday or 2am on Sunday
We'll dispatch a technician to your location
What to Expect When We Arrive
Verification
Our technician will verify you're the resident (ID matching the address or some proof of residency). This protects you—we won't let just anyone into your house.
Assessment
We examine the lock and explain our approach. In 95% of cases, we can pick it without damage.
Unlocking
Using professional picks and tension tools, we manipulate the lock pins to open your door. This typically takes 5-15 minutes depending on lock type.
Testing
After you're inside, we test your lock with your key to ensure it's functioning properly.
Additional Services (If Needed)
If you want the lock rekeyed (because keys are lost), additional keys cut, or the lock replaced, we can handle that immediately while we're there.
After We Get You Inside
Once you're back in, consider these next steps:
If Keys Were Lost
Consider rekeying your locks. If someone finds your keys and your address is identifiable, they could access your home.
If This Keeps Happening
Consider having spare keys made and stored with a trusted neighbor, family member, or in a secure hide-a-key location.
Upgrade to Smart Locks
Modern keyless entry locks eliminate lockout situations entirely. We install various smart lock systems that use codes, fingerprints, or smartphone apps.
Check Other Locks
While we're there, consider having us check your other exterior doors. If your front lock is worn or sticky, others might be too.
