House Lockout Service
Locked out of your house? Mobile house lockout service is available across Livingston County, Genesee County, Ingham County, Washtenaw County, and Oakland County.
In most cases, non-destructive methods are used whenever possible so the lock and door are not damaged. The priority is getting you back inside quickly and cleanly.
House lockouts are common after:
Keys locked inside
A broken key in the lock
A lock that will not turn
A spare key that is no longer available

Rekeying & Lock Change Services
Rekeying is one of the most useful residential services after a move, lost key, or change in who has access to the home.
You just bought or rented a new place
A key was lost or stolen
A roommate, tenant, or contractor still has a key
You want old keys to stop working without replacing every lock
Rekeying changes the pins inside the lock so previous keys no longer work. If the hardware is still in good condition, that is usually faster and more affordable than full replacement.
If a lock is damaged, worn, cheap, or low-security, replacement may be the better option. In that case, a new lock or deadbolt can be installed instead of rekeying the old one.

Will a house lockout damage the door or lock?

Yes. Residential locksmith service is available across Livingston, Genesee, Ingham, Washtenaw, and Oakland Counties.
