Tools. Locks. Everyday solutions.

Where are the keys?

Keys left inside may mean you only need help getting in. Lost keys raise another question: what should happen to the locks once the door is open? A broken key can leave a piece in the lock as well.

Mention which situation applies. If a spare is with someone nearby, check whether they can bring it before arranging a visit.

A door that won't stay locked

Being unable to secure a home or business can be urgent even when you can get inside. Describe whether the key turns, the handle feels loose or the bolt catches against the frame.

Opening a door, repairing a fault and replacing a damaged part are different jobs. Ask about the proposed work and price before agreeing to it.

While you arrange help

Avoid forcing a key that is stuck. Prying at a car door or apartment frame can add damage to the original problem.

For a building entrance, include the unit and any access instructions. For a car in a garage, give the entrance and level. Keep your phone available if you wait somewhere nearby.

A few useful questions

Can you give me an arrival time?

Ask for the current estimate when you call. It depends on your address, availability and the work already underway. There isn't one arrival time that fits every call.

Will the lock have to be replaced?

That depends on the lock and why it won't open. A lockout alone doesn't establish that replacement is needed. The condition of the hardware matters.

What if my ID is locked inside?

Mention it when arranging the visit. Access authorization needs to be addressed, so ask what information can be used in your situation.

Need help with a lock now?

Call with the address and say whether you need to get in, lock up or deal with a broken key.
