Locked Out? Here's What to Do
Steps to get back in safely without damaging your door or lock.
Check the obvious first
Try other doors and windows, and see if a spare key is with a neighbor or in a lockbox before paying for service.
Call a pro for damage-free entry
A professional locksmith uses non-destructive tools for almost all lockouts — far cheaper than a broken door or drilled lock from DIY attempts.
Prevent the next one
Ask about a smart lock or keypad entry, or leave a spare with someone you trust.
