Lockout Tips

There’s a reason that 24-hour locksmiths exist. At 24 HR Lockouts, we’ve responded to many 24-hour locksmith requests over the years, and we’d like to go over why this service is important as well as discuss three cases where you might need to make that call.

WHEN YOU THINK SOMEONE HAS BROKEN INTO YOUR HOME

Does it look like someone has tried to force your door open? Getting a locksmith over ASAP is important. You don’t know who tried to force their way into your house, and you don’t know why. You also may not know if they were successful in breaking and entering.

In such cases, you’ll want to side with caution and get your locks changed and rekeyed. Contact a residential locksmith that offers 24-hour or emergency services to have this taken care of right away.

If it’s your business that was broken into or appears to have been broken into, you’ll also want to call a 24-hour locksmith for your protection and for your business’ best interest.

WHEN YOU COME BACK FROM A TRIP AND YOU’VE MISPLACED YOUR KEYS

We all misplace keys from time to time. Some of us keep spare keys in our vehicles or pockets, or we give a spare key to a trusted friend for safekeeping.

Say that you’re coming back from a long trip, and you just can’t find your keys anywhere. It could be your car keys that we’re talking about, or your house keys, or both. What do you do?

If the airport shuttle has dropped you off at your vehicle, for example, and you can’t find your keys anywhere, you probably want to call a 24-hour locksmith. If it’s three in the morning, your family or friends may not be too happy to receive a call for help.

Or let’s say you get to your front door and discover that your house keys are missing. Either you never brought them with you and they’re locked inside your home, or you lost or misplaced them somewhere. You’re dead tired, and you have to get to work bright and early the next morning. Once again, calling a 24-hour locksmith is probably in your best interest.

WHEN YOU’VE LOCKED YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR CAR

Let’s say you’ve just completed a long list of errands and you’re ready to go home. You have a shopping cart full of groceries that you need to get into your pantry and refrigerator, the sooner the better. Unfortunately, you reach into your pocket or check inside your purse, and your keys are missing.

You go back into the grocery store and check with a clerk, but your keys are nowhere to be found. Where did they go? What will you do?

You return to your car and peek inside. What do you see? Your car keys are on the floor! You’ve locked yourself out of your own car.

Don’t worry; this happens a lot more often than you might think. This very common case is another reason that 24-hour locksmiths exist. At 24 HR Lockouts, we have helped countless people who’ve accidentally locked themselves out of their cars. It happens, and when it does, we’re here to help with reliable service.
