When you're locked out of your home
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
Keys locked inside your home
You can see them through the window but can't reach them. We use specialized tools to open your lock without force - no drilling, no damage. You're back inside in minutes.
Lost your only set of keys
When your keys are gone, you need in now and new keys after. We get you inside, then can rekey your locks or cut new keys on the spot so you're secure again immediately.
Lock won't turn or bolt is stuck
The key goes in but nothing happens - or the deadbolt won't retract. This is usually a mechanical failure inside the lock. We find the gentlest way in and can repair or replace the lock after.
Smart lock or keypad died
Dead batteries or a glitch locked you out of your own smart lock. We carry backup power tools to jump-start your lock from outside, or use the mechanical override if your model has one.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

In most cases, yes. Bring the details when you call (302) 551-2550 and we'll confirm what's possible for your particular hardware before the visit.
What does house lockout cost in Chadds Ford?
It depends on the specifics, which is why we quote before starting rather than after finishing. Describe the job on the phone and you'll get a firm number to approve or decline.
Do you offer any warranty on house lockout?
Yes — labor and any hardware we supply are covered. If something isn't right after a Chadds Ford job, we return and put it right.

No. Chadds Ford sits inside our coverage area, so there's no distance surcharge on jobs here.

Usually, yes. Vans heading to Chadds Ford carry the common hardware and tooling, so most jobs complete on the first trip rather than needing a parts run.

House Lockout FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Will you have to drill my lock to get me in?
Almost never. In the vast majority of home lockouts, we get in using picking or bypass tools that leave your lock completely undamaged. Drilling is only used if the lock has a serious internal failure - and we'd explain the situation before doing anything.
What ID do I need to show?
A government-issued photo ID that matches the address. If your ID shows a different address (you just moved, for example), a utility bill, lease, or even a neighbor who can confirm you live there works too.
How long does it take once you arrive?
Most home lockouts take 5 to 15 minutes once we're at your door. High-security locks or unusual situations might take a bit longer, but we'll tell you what to expect before we start.
Can you open smart locks and keypad locks?
Yes. We handle Schlage, Yale, August, Kwikset, and most other smart locks. If the battery died, we can power-jump it from outside. If it's a software issue, we use the mechanical backup or override.
Can you make me a new key after I'm back inside?
Yes. We carry key-cutting equipment in our van. We can decode your lock and cut new keys on the spot, or rekey your locks entirely if you've lost your keys and want fresh security.
