Lockout service in Richmond Hill

If you're standing outside something you should be inside, this is the page for you. We handle three main types of lockouts: vehicles, residential doors, and commercial doors. Each one uses different techniques but the goal is always the same — open the door, leave the hardware intact, get you back to your day.

Three lockout situations we handle

Car lockouts

Keys in the seat, fob in the trunk, dead remote, pet or child stuck inside. Detailed write-up on the car lockout page. If a child or pet is in the car and it's hot, call 911 first.

House lockouts

Door deadbolts, knob locks, sliding patio doors, garage side doors. We pick or otherwise open the lock without damaging the cylinder or the door frame whenever possible. More on house lockouts.

Business lockouts

Storefronts, offices, warehouses, restaurants. Commercial-grade locks need a different toolkit but the approach is the same: open without damaging the hardware so you don't lose business waiting on a replacement.

Before you call, try this

• Check the obvious doors — a back door, a side door, an unlocked window in reach.
• Check with whoever has a spare — neighbor, partner, building manager.
• Don't try to pry the door — bent door frames cost ten times what a lockout call does.
• Don't kick the door — same reason. Splintered jambs are hard to fix without a carpenter.

What we'll need

• For a vehicle: ID matching the registration, title, or insurance.
• For a house: ID matching the address (driver's license, utility bill, lease) or proof you're the legitimate occupant.
• For a business: ID matching the business or proof of authority (manager, owner, building lease).

This isn't a hassle — it's a basic safeguard so we don't open the wrong door for the wrong person.

After we get you in

If the lockout was caused by a key issue (lost, broken, copied too many times), we can solve the underlying problem in the same visit:

• Rekey the lock so old keys stop working.
• Replace the lock if it's worn or low quality.
• Extract a broken key from the cylinder.
• Cut a new car key if the original is gone.
