  1. Locked Out? Here’s What to Do Before Calling an Emergency Locksmith

  2. Getting locked out of your home or business can be frustrating and stressful. However, before you call an emergency locksmith, there are a few steps you can take to try and regain access to your property. Here’s what you should do if you find yourself locked out.

  3. Stay Calm and Assess the Situation The first thing to do is stay calm. Panicking won’t help, and it’s important to think clearly. Take a moment to check if you’ve simply misplaced your keys or left them inside. If you have a spare key hidden somewhere, now is the time to use it. Check Other Access Points Before calling a locksmith, check if any other doors or windows are open. Sometimes, you might find an unlocked window or a back door that allows you to enter without breaking anything. However, avoid trying to force your way in, as this could cause damage.

  4. Contact Someone With a Spare Key If you share your home with family members or roommates, check if someone else has a spare key. If you’ve given a trusted neighbour or friend a spare, now is the time to reach out to them. This can save you the cost of calling a locksmith. Try Simple DIY Methods Some traditional methods may help you regain entry. If your door has a simple spring latch, using a plastic card like an old credit card may help. However, this only works on certain types of locks and should be done carefully to avoid damage.

  5. Check Your Lease or Security System If you live in a rented property, your landlord may have a spare key. Some buildings have security or property management services that can assist. If you’re locked out of an office or business premises, security personnel may be able to help. Avoid DIY Damage It might be tempting to break a window or force a lock, but this can lead to expensive repairs. If you can’t get in using simple methods, it’s best to avoid causing damage and seek professional assistance instead.

  6. Call an Emergency Locksmith If none of the above methods work, it’s time to call a professional emergency locksmith.
