01 /Before you call
Locked out? Check these first
A minute of checking can save you a service call. Do not force a door or climb to a window.
Someone at risk inside?
If a child, a vulnerable adult or a pet is locked inside, or anything is cooking or running, call 911 first. A locksmith is for getting you back in, not for life-safety emergencies.
02 /How it works
How does a locksmith open a locked house door?
The method depends on the lock. The goal is always to get you in without replacing hardware you did not need to replace.
Knob and lever locks
Spring-latch knob locks are usually opened quickly with non-destructive tools. Your lock and keys keep working afterward.
Deadbolts
A locked deadbolt takes more skill. Most standard deadbolts can still be opened without damage; it simply takes longer than a knob.
High-security and failed locks
Pick-resistant cylinders and broken mechanisms sometimes need drilling. That is a last resort, you are told first, and the cylinder is replaced at an added cost you approve.
A new key, if yours is lost
In many cases a new key can be made for your existing lock on site. If keys were lost or stolen, rekeying makes the old ones useless.
03 /The process
What happens on a house lockout call
Call or Request Help
Give the address, which door is locked, and whether the key is inside, lost or broken in the lock.
Price & Availability Confirmed
You hear the estimated range. Availability and arrival time are confirmed before dispatch, and you decide.
Proof of Residence, Then Entry
The locksmith checks that you live there, then opens the door with non-destructive methods first.
Test, Secure, Pay
The lock is tested. Any extra work, such as a rekey or a new key, is priced and approved first.

Should you rekey after a lockout?

| What happened | What to do next |
|---|---|
| Keys locked inside the house | Nothing more. Your keys are safe and the lock still works. |

| Keys stolen with your address (wallet, bag, car) | Rekey the same day, before you leave the locksmith. |
| Key broke off in the lock | Extract the piece and cut a new key. See broken key extraction. |

Lockouts in Fall River multi-families and older homes
In a two- or three-family house, a lockout may involve the shared front entry, a hallway door and your unit door. Tell us which doors are locked so the right tools are brought on the first visit.
If you rent, your landlord may have a key and may prefer to be called first. If you cannot reach them, a locksmith can still help once you show proof that you live in the unit, such as a lease or a utility bill with your name and the address.
Older Fall River doors often carry mortise locks, which open differently from modern knob locks. A quick photo of the lock when you request service helps the locksmith plan the entry.
