Mobile Apartment Lockout Service
Apartment lockouts can happen for many reasons, including:
- Keys left inside the apartment
- Lost apartment keys
- Broken or damaged keys
- Key stuck in the lock
- Lock not turning correctly
- Deadbolt problems
- Worn lock hardware
- Door unexpectedly locked behind you
The technician will evaluate the lock and door before determining the appropriate service.
Careful Entry When Practical
Opening an apartment door does not automatically mean the lock needs to be drilled or replaced.
When the lock and situation allow, the technician can evaluate less invasive entry methods first.
The appropriate method depends on:
- Lock type
- Door hardware
- Lock condition
- Deadbolt position
- Existing damage
- Overall door and frame condition
If the hardware is damaged or malfunctioning, additional service may be required.

- Changing existing hardware

If you are renting, check with your landlord or property management when required before making changes to the locks.
