That emergency may be you locked out of your car in a busy parking lot or that may mean that the lock on your home has malfunctioned. Before you ever need to look at ways to lock a door without a lock, be sure to contact us by calling (484) 891-1922!
All that being said, if you ever do find yourself in the position where you need to lock a door without the lock that is usually attached to it, we do have a few suggestions. Again, please know that these suggestions are temporary at best and calling 24/7 Emergency Locksmith should be your first course of action.
1. Use a Door Jam or Wedge
Using a door jam or wedge is a good way to keep a door from opening. It’s a simple and temporary solution that can keep a door secure for a short period of time. Simply use a door wedge and gently hammer or wedge it into the space between the door and the frame. Keep in mind that wedges will only really work on doors that are designed to open inwards.
2. Anchoring a Doorknob
For outward opening doors, wedges wouldn’t be very effective. So, you could consider anchoring the inside doorknob to something within your house or building. You can do this by tying a piece of rope to the doorknob and then another fixed structure within the room. Of course, this method wouldn’t work very well on inwardly opening doors.
3. A Good ‘Ole Barricade
If you’ve ever watched “The Walking Dead” then you you’ve seen your fair share of barricades. All you need are a bunch of items and a door that opens inwardly, though, a well-constructed barricade could also work on an outwardly opening door where the entire entrance of the structure is covered by the barricade itself.
4. Take the Doorknob Off
You’ve probably been in the situation where a doorknob has fallen off of a door before and maybe even come off in your hand. Usually when this happens you’re able to open the door and fix the handle set. However, if you take off the doorknob and the spindle from the outside of a door, you’re effectively restricting someone from using the knob to release the latch. This isn’t the best method of locking a door in a pinch, but it may work for a short period of time.
5. Call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith
We’d much rather you give us a call at (484) 891-1922 than try to employ any of the methods we have described above! We’ll be out in minutes. Your safety is our main priority.
Who better than to tell you about home security systems than a burglar? 
The need for a locksmith can be an unwelcome and/or irritating situation. From locking yourself out of your car, losing the keys to your office building, or simply changing the locks to your new home, the moments that it takes to call a locksmith can be stressful enough as it is, and can be done in a time of panic, worry, or stress.
If you find yourself in a situation where you are stuck without being able to get inside or start your vehicle, it can be an incredibly stressful time period. Those stressors can be increased with the addition of having children with you.
Uh oh! Why won’t my trunk open!

If your keys seem to stick in the ignition, you need to give a little extra effort into starting your vehicle each time with a little wiggle, or if you find yourself needing a ‘special’ way of inserting your key, there’s a good chance your ignition has some damage. But how? One of the biggest reasons for ignition damage is simply too much weight on your keys.
