Commercial Lockout

Commercial lockout service starts from $120. Locksmith Auto gets you back into offices, retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, and industrial facilities same day. We open commercial-grade locks without damaging doors, frames, or hardware.

Commercial lockouts cost more than residential ones because the hardware is heavier. Homes typically have Grade 3 or Grade 2 locks. Commercial properties run Grade 1 or high-security from Medeco, Best, Corbin Russwin, and Sargent. Anti-pick pins, restricted keyways, hardened components. These locks need more specialized tools and more time to get past.

How lockouts usually happen. An employee loses the only key after hours. The electronic access system goes down. A keypad lock battery dies. The cylinder jams from wear. A new hire shows up before the property manager gets around to handing over keys. Each one has a different fix, and Locksmith Auto techs show up ready for all of them.

What it costs depends on the lock. Standard commercial knob and lever locks run $120-150 to open. High-security deadbolts (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock) are $150-220. Electronic access control lockouts fall in the $120-180 range. Panic bar or crash bar lockouts cost $120-180. Locksmith Auto quotes the price on the phone before dispatch. You approve the number before anyone heads your way.

Once you're back inside, let's talk about making sure this doesn't happen again. We can rekey and cut more copies ($70-100 per lock), install a keypad deadbolt for code-based entry ($200-300), set up a key lockbox at the property ($45-85), or upgrade to a full access control system ($300+ per door). The right answer depends on how many people need in and how often you've got turnover.

Faster response, pre-negotiated pricing, and we keep a record of every lock and key at each property. One call covers any lockout at any location.
