How House Lockouts Usually Happen
A house lockout rarely comes at a good time. The door swings shut behind you while you take the trash out, the kids lock the deadbolt from inside, or you get home from work and the keys are still sitting on your desk. As a residential locksmith in Fernley, these are the calls we take most often.
Whatever caused it, try these quick checks before you call:
- Walk around and try the back door, side door and garage entry.
- Check whether a family member, roommate or landlord has a spare.
- If you rent, your property manager may be able to let you in.
Still stuck? Call us. Please do not try to force a window or kick a door. Repairing a broken frame or glass costs much more than a lockout visit, and it can leave your home insecure overnight.
Have these ready
- Your home address
- Photo ID, ideally with the address
- Which door is locked and what kind of lock
- Whether a key was lost or stolen
We confirm you live at the address before opening the door. It keeps lockout service from helping the wrong person.
How We Get You Back Inside
01
Assess the lock
We look at the door, the lock type and whether the deadbolt is engaged to choose the gentlest way in.
02
Non-destructive entry
Most doors can be opened by picking or bypassing the lock, with no damage to the door or frame.
03
Secure it again
Once you are in, we can rekey or replace the lock if a key is missing, so you are not left exposed.
Lost Your Keys? Rekey the Lock While We Are There
If you were locked out because your keys are lost, not just left inside, it is worth thinking about where they ended up. A key ring dropped in a parking lot with an address tag, or keys taken in a stolen bag, can lead someone straight to your door.
The simple fix is to rekey after a lost key. We change the pins inside the lock so the old key no longer works, and give you new keys. It can usually be done during the same visit, and it costs less than new locks.
If you are locked out late and feel unsafe waiting outside, let us know on the phone. You can also read how urgent calls work on our emergency locksmith page.

What a House Lockout Costs
The price of a lockout depends on the lock type, whether the deadbolt is locked, how far we travel, and whether you also want a rekey or new lock. High-security locks take more time to open than a standard knob lock. We give you the price on the phone before we head out. See house lockout and locksmith prices for more detail.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you damage my door to get me in?
We use non-destructive methods first, such as picking or bypassing the lock. Drilling is a last resort, and we explain it and the cost before doing it.
Do I need to prove I live there?
Yes. We check photo ID, ideally showing the address, or other proof that you live at the home before we open the door.
Can you open a locked deadbolt?
In most cases, yes. A locked deadbolt can take longer than a knob lock, but it can usually be opened without damage.
Should I rekey after a lockout?
Only if a key is lost or stolen. If your keys were just left inside, there is no need. If they are missing, a rekey keeps them from working.
I rent my home. Can you still help?
Yes, as long as you can show you live there. Check your lease, as some landlords want to be told before locks are changed or rekeyed.
