Common Home Lockout Situations We Handle
Apartment & Multi-Family Building Lockouts
Locked out of your apartment? We work with tenants, property managers, and landlords throughout Massachusetts. Whether you're in a walk-up, a high-rise, or a triple-decker, we've got you covered.
Single-Family Home Lockouts
From historic brownstones to modern suburban homes, we handle all types of residential properties. Our technicians are experienced with both traditional and contemporary lock systems.
Broken Keys
Key snapped off in the lock? We extract broken keys and cut new ones on-site. No need to wait for a spare from a friend or family member.
Lost Keys
Lost your only set of keys? We can unlock your door and cut new keys for you immediately. We can also rekey your locks if you're concerned about security.
Smart Lock Failures
Smart lock battery died or app not responding? We specialize in smart lock systems like August, Yale, Schlage Encode, and Kwikset. We can unlock, troubleshoot, and get your smart lock working again.
Frozen or Jammed Locks
Massachusetts winters are brutal. Frozen or jammed locks are common from November through March. We can safely thaw and lubricate frozen locks without damaging the mechanism.
Historic Home & Antique Locks
Many Massachusetts homes feature older mortise locks or unique vintage hardware. Our experienced technicians know how to work with antique and specialty locks without causing damage.
Child or Pet Locked Inside
If a child or pet is locked inside your home, tell us immediately. We prioritize these calls and arrive as quickly as possible for safe, fast entry.
New Home / Just Moved In
Just moved into a new home? We can unlock your door AND rekey all your locks on the same visit, so old keys from previous owners no longer work.
Elderly or Disabled Residents
We understand that being locked out can be especially stressful for elderly or disabled residents. We provide patient, respectful service and can discuss accessibility solutions to prevent future lockouts.

After we get you back inside, we can help you prevent future lockouts:

Popular Smart Lock Options:
• August Smart Lock Pro - Works with your existing deadbolt
• Schlage Encode - Built-in WiFi, no hub needed
• Yale Assure Lock - Touchscreen keypad entry
• Kwikset Halo - Affordable, reliable smart lock
• Level Lock - Invisible smart lock (looks traditional)
Spare Key Solutions
• Key duplication - Get spares made for family, roommates, or trusted neighbors
• Key safes - We can install combination lock boxes for secure spare key storage
• Neighbor trust - Leave a spare with a trusted neighbor (we can advise on best practices)
Lock Upgrades
If your lock is old or unreliable, consider upgrading to a high-security deadbolt that's less prone to jamming or failure.

Home Lockout FAQs - Massachusetts
How quickly can you get to me if I'm locked out?
Our average response time is 20-30 minutes across both our Boston Metro and South Shore service areas. Response times vary based on your exact location, time of day, and traffic conditions, but we prioritize emergency lockout calls and dispatch the nearest available technician immediately.
How much does home lockout service cost?
Most standard residential lockouts range from $85-$150 depending on lock type, time of day, and complexity. We provide upfront pricing before beginning work - no hidden fees or surprise charges. Holiday and late-night service may include a modest trip charge, which we'll explain clearly over the phone.
Will you damage my door or lock getting me in?
In the vast majority of cases, no. Our technicians use professional non-destructive entry techniques (lock picking, bypass methods) that won't harm your lock or door. Drilling is rare and only used as a last resort when other methods fail - and we'll always explain why it's necessary and get your approval first.
Can you unlock smart locks like August, Yale, or Schlage?
Absolutely. We specialize in smart lock systems and can unlock August, Yale, Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, Level Lock, and other popular brands. Whether your battery died, the app isn't responding, or there's a malfunction, we can get you back inside and troubleshoot the issue.
Do you provide service for apartment lockouts?
Yes! We work with apartment tenants, property managers, and landlords throughout Massachusetts. Whether you're in a small walk-up or a large apartment building, we can help. In some cases, we may need to verify you're a resident before providing entry for security purposes.
I'm locked out with a child or pet inside - what should I do?
Call us immediately and tell us a child or pet is inside. We treat these as priority emergency calls and respond as fast as physically possible. Stay calm, stay near the door so you can communicate with anyone inside, and we'll get you back in quickly and safely.
What if I lost my keys entirely?
No problem. We can unlock your door and cut new keys on-site. If you're concerned about security (don't know where your lost keys are), we can also rekey your locks during the same visit so the lost keys no longer work.
Can you help with lockouts in historic homes with old locks?
Yes. Massachusetts is full of beautiful historic homes with unique lock systems. Our experienced technicians are familiar with older mortise locks, vintage hardware, and antique lock mechanisms. We know how to work with these without causing damage.
Do you offer any guarantees on your work?
Yes. We guarantee our work. If you have any issues with our service within 30 days, contact us and we'll make it right. We're a local, family-owned business and our reputation depends on satisfied customers.
