How a house lockout works with us
You call and a person answers, not a call center. Tell us the address and what kind of lock is on the door, and we tell you the price before anyone drives out. If the price changes once we see the lock, you decide before we do any work.
We give you an arrival time on the phone and text you when the van is on the way. When we get there we ask for proof that you live at the address, an ID or a bill once you are inside. It protects you as much as it protects us.
We always try to open the lock without damage first. Most house locks open with picks or bypass tools in a few minutes. If a lock has to be drilled, we tell you first, and we can fit a new one on the spot from the stock in the van.
Rekey or replace?
If your locks work well and you just want old keys to stop working, rekeying is the cheaper choice. We change the pins inside the cylinder and cut new keys, and the handles and deadbolts stay on the door. It is the first thing we recommend after buying a house, after a breakup or a lost key, or when a tenant moves out.
If a lock is worn, cheap, or damaged after a break-in, replacing it makes more sense. We carry Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts and can match the finish of your other hardware. We can also key every lock on the house to one key.
Small jobs count too
A peephole for an older parent, a new mailbox lock, a key that snapped in the door, a sliding door that won't latch. These are quick jobs, and we price them on the phone just like the big ones.

Questions people ask
How much does a house lockout cost?
Most house lockouts start from $75. We tell you the exact price on the phone before we drive out. (Sample price for this demo.)
Is rekeying cheaper than new locks?
Usually, yes. Rekeying changes the inside of the lock so old keys stop working, and you keep the hardware you have.
Will you damage my door?
Almost never. We pick or bypass the lock first. If drilling is the only way in, we ask you before we start.
Do you come at night and on weekends?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across Greater Houston.
Locked out? We're awake.
A person answers, day or night, and tells you the price.
