Lockout assistance
Locked out? We get you back in without wrecking the lock.
Home, car, and business lockouts across North County San Diego. Licensed technicians, no-damage entry methods first, and a typical arrival of 15–30 minutes.

Residential
Front doors, side gates, garages, sliders, and interior rooms with a child locked inside. We pick or bypass the lock rather than drill it, so your existing hardware keeps working. If a lock has failed and has to be replaced, we tell you before we touch it.
Automotive
Keys locked in the car, in the trunk, or lost entirely. We open most vehicles in minutes with professional entry tools that don't scratch paint or damage weather stripping — and if the key is gone, we can make a new one on the spot for many vehicles.
Commercial
Storefronts, offices, and warehouses. We work with property managers and business owners on access-controlled doors, exit devices, and high-security cylinders. Proof of authorization is required before we open a commercial space.
Hours and after-hours calls
Shop hours are Monday–Friday, 9:00–5:30. Outside those hours we keep a technician on call for emergency lockouts — call the shop number and you will reach someone. After-hours calls carry an after-hours fee ([after-hours fee]), quoted before we dispatch.
Law enforcement officers receive a discount — just ask.
Common questions
Are you open 24/7?
No. The shop is open Monday–Friday 9:00–5:30. Outside those hours we have a technician on call for emergency lockouts, with an after-hours fee quoted on the phone before dispatch.
Will you have to drill my lock?
Rarely. Picking or bypassing is our first approach. Drilling is a last resort, and we explain why before doing it. A locksmith who drills first is often running a replacement-lock upsell.
What ID do you need?
Photo ID showing the address for a home, registration for a vehicle, or authorization from the owner or manager for a business.
