Locked Yourself Out of Your House? What to Do First

  • ​Check every other door: the back door, the garage and the side gate.

  • Call anyone who has a spare key, like a roommate, family, a neighbor, or your landlord or leasing office.

  • Don't force a window or try the credit card trick.

  • Both usually end in a repair bill that costs more than a locksmith. If nobody has a key, call a local lockout service. We'll give you the price on the phone and head your way.

Locked Out of Your Home? Here's How We Get You Back In

1. Call and tell us where you are

Give us your address and tell us what kind of lock is on the door. We'll tell you the price before we head out.

2. We drive to you

House, apartment, condo, mobile home or guest house, we come to your door anywhere in the Tucson area.

3. We check that it's your home

Before we open a door we ask for a photo ID. If your ID is locked inside, we check it as soon as the door is open. It keeps your home from being opened for the wrong person.

4. We unlock the door without damage

Most house locks can be picked open in a few minutes. Your lock keeps working with the same key afterward, and the door and frame are left the way we found them.

5. Pay and get on with your day

We take cash, cards, tap to pay and other forms of payment.​

Home Lockouts We Handle?

Keys Locked Inside the House

The door shut behind you and the keys are on the counter. This is the most common home lockout call we get, and usually the fastest to fix.

Locked Out of an Apartment or Condo

The leasing office is closed, or it charges a lockout fee and takes hours. We open apartment and condo doors day or night. Bring your ID, and your lease if the address on your ID is different.

Student Lockouts Near the University of Arizona

Locked out of a rental house or student apartment near campus? We're a few minutes away and we're open after the leasing office goes home.

Lost the Keys to Your House

If your keys are lost or stolen, not just locked inside, we'll get you in and can rekey the lock on the same visit. Rekeying changes the lock so the old key stops working. See our residential locksmith service.

Key Broke Off in the Lock

Don't dig at it with pliers or glue. That pushes the broken piece deeper. We pull the broken key out, open the door and cut you a new key from our van.

Smart Lock or Keypad Not Working

Dead batteries, a forgotten code or a keypad that stopped responding. We get you inside and tell you what went wrong with the lock.

Locked Out of a Bedroom, Bathroom or Garage

Inside doors, garage side doors and back gates lock people out too. We open those as well.

Child, Pet or left the Hot Stove on cooking keys Locked Inside

If a child is alone inside, something is cooking on the stove, or a pet is shut in without air conditioning in a Tucson summer, tell us when you call and you go to the front of the line. If anyone is in danger, call 911 and call us at 520-442-5008 at the same time.​​​​​​​

How Much Does It Cost to Get Into a Locked House in Tucson?

Every house lockout starts with a $49 service call, which covers coming to you. Most standard house and apartment doors in Tucson come to [your usual total] all in. High-security locks and service outside Tucson city limits can cost more. We give you the exact price on the phone before we come out, so there are no surprises at your door.

Will Insurance Pay for a House Lockout?

Some homeowners and renters insurance policies, home warranty plans and membership plans pay back lockout costs. We leave you an itemized receipt you can send in. Check your policy or call your insurer to see what's covered.

Will You Have to Drill My Lock?

Almost never. Drilling is the last resort, not the first move. Most house locks open by picking, which leaves the lock working exactly as before. If a lock is broken inside or is a high-security model that can't be picked, we'll tell you first and give you the price to replace it before we touch it. Be careful with any locksmith who wants to drill before trying anything else.

House Lockout FAQs

Who do you call when you're locked out of your house?

A local locksmith. Police and fire crews only force a door in a real emergency, and that usually means a broken door or window. A locksmith opens the lock itself, so nothing needs repair afterward.

How fast can the locksmith get to me?

Most Tucson house's lockouts are reached in about 15-20 minutes, this is a advantage of choosing a centrally located locksmith in your area. We'll give you an arrival time when you call.

Do I have to prove I live there?

Yes. We ask for a photo ID with the address on it. If your ID shows a different address, a lease, a utility bill or a piece of mail with your name on it works.

What if my ID is locked inside or I don't have it?

That happens a lot. You can pull up your Arizona driver license record on your phone through your AZ MVD Now account. To show the home is yours, open a utility bill on your phone, like your electric, water or internet account, with your name and this address on it. We match the two, and we check your ID as soon as the door is open. If there's no other way to confirm who you are, the last resort is asking Tucson police to come and verify your identity before we open the door.

I rent. Can I call a locksmith, or do I need my landlord?

You can call us to get back into your own home. If you want the lock changed or rekeyed afterward, check your lease or ask your landlord first, since most leases require the landlord to have a working key.

Will you damage my door or lock?

We pick the lock open in most cases, so the door, the frame and the lock are left as they were we generally carry the same locks you have and can make the keys and the color.

Should I rekey my locks after a lockout?

Only if a key is lost or stolen, or someone you don't trust has a copy. If the keys were just locked inside, your locks are fine.

What Our Valued Clients
Have to Say

Jonathan is amazing! Super responsive. Friendly, Fast and knows his business through and through, cannot say enough good things about him, reasonably priced, he re-keyed 11 locks on our entire home. call him, you won’t be disappointed!

Cliff Swinney

Jon showed up on time, installed the new front door handle and deadbolt with careful attention to detail. The existing deadbolt hole dimensions weren't quite right so he bored out the hole to make the lock work smoothly.

Eric Copper

When John showed up he literally walked over to my door picked the lock it 2 minutes, yep 2 minutes flat, I'm not kidding 2 minutes! This dude even gave me a discount and made me a spare key in case my employees ever lock the keys in the truck again.
Thanks again, John.
