The Most Common Reasons We Get Called
A house lockout almost always comes down to one of a few things — knowing which one you’re dealing with helps us tell you what to expect before we arrive.
Door Auto-Locked Behind You
The single most common reason for an evening lockout call. A door that locks itself isn’t a sign anything’s wrong with your home — it just needs a technician, not a locksmith horror story.
Lost or Misplaced Keys
Keys left inside, dropped somewhere on a walk, or missing from a bag. If they don’t turn up, a rekey afterward is worth considering — see our rekey service →
Broken or Jammed Key in the Lock
Old keys snap more often in cold weather. In most cases the key can be extracted without replacing the lock — we’ll tell you honestly if extraction isn’t possible before charging for it.
Lock Malfunction
A worn or failing lock cylinder that won’t turn even with the right key. Sometimes this is a repair, sometimes it’s a sign the hardware needs replacing — we’ll tell you which before we quote.
Non-Destructive Entry, Whenever It’s Safe
For a simple interior spring-latch door, we can usually get you back inside without any damage to the door or frame, using proper locksmith tools rather than force. A deadbolt is built specifically to resist that kind of entry — if your front door is deadbolt-locked, that’s the difference between a straightforward lockout and a job that takes a little longer to do right.
We never force a door or drill a lock as a first option. If a lock genuinely can’t be opened without drilling, we’ll explain why and quote the replacement lock before doing anything.

Common Questions About House Lockouts
How fast can you get to me?
Response time depends on where you are in Dearborn and the time of day, but most lockout calls get a technician dispatched the same visit. Call and we’ll give you an honest estimate before you commit.
Will you damage my door getting me back in?
For a simple interior spring-latch door, we can almost always get in without damage. A deadbolt is designed to resist that kind of entry, so it’s handled with proper tools rather than force — that’s the difference between a normal lockout and an expensive door-frame repair.
What if my key is broken off inside the lock?
In most cases the broken piece can be extracted without damaging the cylinder. If it can’t be safely removed, we’ll explain why and quote a replacement before doing anything.
Should I get my locks rekeyed after a lockout?
If your keys are genuinely lost (not just misplaced inside), rekeying closes that risk without replacing the whole lock. See our rekey service and pricing →
Is there an extra charge for a night or weekend lockout?
Yes — a night, weekend, or holiday surcharge of roughly +$150–$250 applies and is disclosed before dispatch, never as a surprise afterward. See the full price list →
