Frequently Asked Questions — House Lockout Service
Can you open any type of residential lock?
Yes — standard deadbolts, knob locks, lever handles, padlocks, and most high-security cylinders. Truly destructive-entry-only situations (extremely rare) are discussed upfront.
Do I need proof that I live there?
Yes, for your security. A government ID with the address, a utility bill, or a lease agreement is sufficient.
What if my lock is broken, not just locked?
We carry a full inventory of replacement lock hardware and can replace your lock cylinder on the spot.
Can you rekey my locks after a lockout?
Absolutely — rekeying is a great idea after a lockout if you suspect your keys are in someone else's hands. We can rekey on the same visit.
How quickly can you arrive?
Most GTA locations within 20–40 minutes. We operate 24/7 including weekends and holidays.
