While you wait

  1. Get somewhere safe and well lit. If you feel unsafe or think someone is inside, call 911 first.
  2. Call us at 202-715-1348. Tell us your location, the type of lock or vehicle, and what's happened.
  3. Get your quote. We'll give you a price and let you know when a technician can reach you.
  4. Have ID ready. The technician will check it before opening anything.

After a break-in

Report it to the police first. Once they've attended, we can repair a damaged lock or strike plate, rekey locks if keys were stolen, and leave the door secure. If the frame is badly damaged, we'll tell you honestly what we can fix and when you need a carpenter or door installer.

Emergency locksmith questions

What counts as a locksmith emergency?

Anything that leaves you unable to get in or unable to secure your property: a lockout, a key snapped in the lock, a jammed lock, or a door damaged in a break-in.

What should I do after a break-in?

If anyone may still be inside or you're in danger, leave and call 911. Once police have attended, call us to repair or replace damaged locks and secure the door.

Will you open a door without proof I live there?

No. We ask for ID or other proof of residence or ownership before opening a home, business or vehicle. It protects you and your property.
