What house lockout covers
Being locked out of your house can leave you unsure where to turn, whether your keys are missing or sitting inside.
We open the door so you can get back into your home. Before arranging service, check another entrance or a ground level window if you can reach it safely. Do not force a window or climb to reach one. A family member, neighbor or landlord may have a spare key you can use. If none of those options gets you inside, a house lockout visit is a way to get back in.
What you do about your keys matters too. If they are lost with something that connects them to your home, rekeying is one choice. It changes the lock so the missing key no longer works, while the existing hardware stays in place. You receive a working key for it. If your keys were simply left inside, you may prefer to keep using them and have a spare made. Leaving that spare with someone you trust gives you another option if you find yourself locked out again.
Signs you need house lockout
You may need house lockout service if your house key is missing and you have no way to get inside.
It might have fallen off your key ring, or you may have searched your pockets and bag without finding it. Check whether family, a neighbor or your landlord has a spare you can use. If no spare is available, and the other entrances you can safely reach are locked, you may be stuck outside.
Another sign is being able to see your keys inside while the door is closed and locked. They might be on a table near the entrance or in a bag you left indoors. A spare stored in the house will not be useful if you cannot reach it. You can check another door or a ground level window that is safe to access, but avoid climbing or forcing anything open. A window that is locked, too high to reach safely or too small to enter does not give you a practical way back in.
How the work goes
Before you call, check another door or a ground level window only if you can reach it safely.
Do not climb or force an opening. A family member, neighbor or landlord may have a spare that gets you inside. If you still need us, give us your address and describe the entrance you want us to open. Tell us whether your keys are inside or missing, and share any details you know about the lock. You do not need to identify a particular model. A plain description of what you see gives us a useful starting point for the visit.
We look at the entrance with you and explain the proposed work before opening it. You can ask what the approach means for the hardware and what choices are available, so you know what to expect. Once you are back inside, consider having a spare made and keeping it with someone you trust. If the missing keys could be connected to your home, rekeying is another choice. This changes the lock to work with a different key, so the missing ones will no longer operate it. You can choose where to keep the new spare so it is accessible if you need it.

House Lockout questions
I found a ground floor window that might be open. Should I check it?
Check only windows and doors you can reach safely from the ground. An already open entry may give you a way inside, but leave it alone if getting through would mean climbing, squeezing through a small space or risking a fall. Avoid breaking glass or forcing anything open.
My neighbor might have my spare key, but I am not sure. What should I do?
You could contact your neighbor to find out whether they still have a copy. If they do, you can use it to get back in and arrange another spare for yourself. Choose someone you trust to hold a copy, and make sure you have a way to reach that person when you are away from home.
My lost key ring has my home address on it. What should I consider?
You may want to rekey the affected locks, since someone who finds the keys could connect them to your home. Rekeying changes which keys work while keeping the existing hardware. You will need copies of the new key for anyone who needs access, including family members who have an older spare.
I want a different style of hardware on my front door. Is rekeying enough?
You will need replacement hardware if you want to change its appearance or the way you operate it. Rekeying keeps the hardware you already have and changes which key works. When choosing a replacement, consider who uses the door and whether the new design is comfortable for everyone to operate.
I rent my home and cannot find my key. Should I contact the landlord?
You should contact your landlord to find out whether a spare is available and how they want to handle a missing key. If you are considering a change to the locks, talk through who will need copies of any new key. Your rental agreement may also explain how access and replacement keys are handled.
