Emergency Lockout Service

Emergency lockout service starts from $120. Locksmith Auto does same day emergency lockouts for homes, cars, and businesses. We send the nearest available tech with the price quoted on the phone before dispatch. No hidden fees, no overtime surcharges, no bait-and-switch.

Lockouts don't happen at convenient times. It's 6 AM and you stepped outside for the newspaper and the door locked behind you. It's 11 PM in a parking garage after a late shift. It's a Sunday and your property management office won't pick up. Locksmith Auto operates same day including weekends and holidays at the same quoted price. We don't jack up rates because of the clock.

Three categories. Car lockouts ($120-180): we open any vehicle make and model with air wedges and long-reach tools, no damage. House lockouts ($120-180): we get past deadbolts, knob locks, and smart locks without drilling or breaking the frame. Commercial lockouts ($120-200): we open office doors, storefronts, and warehouse entries with commercial-grade bypass tools.

While you're waiting, stay near your locked property so the tech can verify you're the owner or authorized person. Have a photo ID handy. Car lockout? Stay visible and safe. Don't hang around in traffic lanes or dark areas. House lockout in bad weather? Wait at a neighbor's place and let us know how to reach you.

How to not end up here again. Get spare keys made and keep them in separate places. One with a neighbor you trust, one in your wallet, one in a magnetic key box. For your house, a keypad deadbolt means you'll never need a physical key. For your car, keep a spare in your wallet or purse, not in the car. For your business, a commercial key lockbox near the entrance handles it.

Every Locksmith Auto tech is licensed, insured, and background-checked. The van carries commercial-grade tools, key cutting equipment, and replacement hardware. Most emergency lockouts are done in 15-30 minutes from arrival. 90-day warranty on all lockout work. If the lock acts up after our service, we come back and fix it free.
