What happens when you call

  1. Describe the lock, the door or the vehicle.
  2. Hear an approximate estimate: the $29 service call fee plus starting labor.
  3. A locksmith arrives and confirms the price before starting.
  4. The work is done and you pay the contractor who did it.

While you wait

Stay somewhere safe and lit, keep your phone on, and have ID ready. A child or pet locked in a car is a 911 call first.

After a break-in

Let the police see the damage before repairs and photograph it for your insurer. The locksmith can then replace the lock, reinforce the strike and rekey any lock whose keys were taken.

Safes and file cabinets

Non-destructive methods come first. Some safe openings leave the safe unusable; ask before work starts.
