What to do first

If you feel unsafe, call 911 before you call a locksmith. If a door was forced, leave things as they are until police have seen it. Then call to have the lock replaced or rekeyed so the property can be secured.

For a plain lockout, check the easy options first: a spare with a neighbour, a roommate on the way home, a property manager with a master key.

How pricing works on an urgent call

Urgent calls are priced the same way as planned ones. The $29.00 service call fee covers the trip. Labor and parts are added on top, and the dispatcher gives an approximate estimate from your description. The technician confirms the price before starting.

Ask about after-hours pricing when you call so there are no surprises.

Availability

Calls are taken Monday through Sunday. Availability changes through the day, so the dispatcher will tell you when a technician can reach you. If the wait is too long for your situation, you can say so and decide what to do.

Questions

Do you charge extra at night or on weekends?

Ask when you call. The dispatcher will tell you the current service call fee and any after-hours labor so you can decide before anyone is sent.

Can you secure a door after a break-in?

Yes. Damaged locks can be replaced or rekeyed and strikes reinforced. Call police first if the break-in just happened.

What if my key broke off in the lock?

Key extraction starts at $19.00 for home and business locks and $100.00 for vehicles. Don't push the stub further in.
