Home lockouts

Most home lockouts are solved by picking or bypassing the lock without damage. Rekeying is only needed if keys were lost or stolen.

Car lockouts

Technicians use wedges and long-reach tools to open doors safely. If the key is lost, many cars can have a new key cut and programmed on site. See automotive services.

Office lockouts

Expect to show that you're authorized to enter, for example a business card plus ID, or a call to the manager. See commercial services.

Avoiding the next one

Keypad locks, a spare key with someone you trust and a habit of checking for keys before closing the door all help.
