Automotive Lockouts: Locked Keys in Car

Modern cars are designed to be difficult to break into, but our technicians are trained in the latest bypass techniques. We use air wedges and long-reach tools to manipulate the interior lock mechanism without damaging your vehicle's weather stripping, paint, or airbags. Whether the engine is running or the keys are in the trunk, we can gain access safely.

Residential Lockouts: Unlock Apartment Door

Being locked out of your home is vulnerable, especially at night. Our mobile technicians carry professional picking sets and bump keys that allow us to manipulate the pins in your lock cylinder. In the rare event a lock cannot be picked (due to malfunction or high-security features), we have the tools to drill and replace the cylinder on the spot, ensuring you are secure before we leave.

Locked out? Call our Dekalb, IL team immediately at (888) 435-1439.

Commercial & Office Lockouts

Time is money. If you are locked out of your business, your staff cannot work and your customers cannot buy. We prioritize business lockouts to minimize downtime. We can bypass commercial levers, mortise locks, and even electronic keypads to get your doors open and your business running again.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will unlocking my car damage the door? No. We do not use "Slim Jims" which can damage internal wiring. We use soft air wedges and protective sleeves to gently create a gap for our tools, ensuring your vehicle remains in pristine condition.
• How fast can you get here? We position our mobile units throughout Dekalb, IL to ensure rapid response times. For emergency lockouts, we aim to arrive as quickly as traffic allows, often within 20-30 minutes.
• Do you offer weekend locksmith services? Yes. Lockouts don't respect the Monday-to-Friday schedule. We are available all weekend and on holidays to assist you.
• Can you unlock a house with a keypad lock? Yes. Even keypad locks usually have a keyway override that we can pick. If the electronic mechanism has failed, we can bypass the lock to gain entry.
• What proof of ownership do I need? To protect our community, we require proof that you reside at the property or own the vehicle. A driver’s license with a matching address or vehicle registration is standard.
