Getting You Back In, Then Keeping It From Happening Again
Tools and Methods
Most lockouts are opened by picking or bypassing the lock, which leaves it working exactly as before. Drilling is the last resort, and we tell you before we do it.
Preventing the Next Lockout
Once you’re inside, there are a few inexpensive ways to make a repeat less likely:
- Keypad or smart locks: A code can’t be left on the kitchen counter. See smart lock installation.
- Security audits: We check your locks and doors for wear that could strand you later.
- Spare keys: We cut extras on the spot so a second key lives somewhere sensible.
Lockouts We Handle in Allentown
Lockouts happen in a handful of predictable ways. These are the calls we get most:
Forgotten Keys
The door locked behind you and the keys are on the other side. We pick the lock and let you back in.
Keys Locked in the Car
Keys on the seat or in the trunk are a routine job. We open the car without scratching the paint or bending the door. See how we open a locked car.
Broken or Jammed Locks
A lock that won’t turn can trap you outside even with the right key. We get the door open, then repair or replace the lock.
Lost Keys
If the keys are gone for good, we can rekey the lock so the lost ones stop working, then cut you new keys.

1. You Call
Tell us where you are and what you’re locked out of. We explain our pricing structure and give an estimated arrival time.

On arrival the locksmith looks at the lock and picks the least invasive way in. We’ll ask for ID to confirm the home or car is yours.
3. We Open It
The door is opened with picks or bypass tools. If the lock is damaged, we go over repair options once you’re inside.
4. We Wrap Up
Before leaving, we make sure the lock works and answer any questions about spares or upgrades.

Call (484) 891-1922 for immediate response. Tell us the address and the kind of lock, and we’ll be on the way.
After the Lockout
A lockout is often the first sign of a tired lock or a missing spare.
If the same door has locked you out more than once, ask us to look at the latch and the strike while we’re there. A small adjustment can stop it from happening again.
For other urgent lock problems, see our emergency locksmith services. The emergency lockouts page covers how we handle lockouts outside Allentown.
