Getting locked out of your home, apartment, or office in New York City never happens at a convenient time. Our emergency lockout service runs around the clock, every day of the year, so a lost key or a door that slammed shut behind you is never more than a short wait from being solved.
Our technicians open residential doors, apartment doors, office doors, and vehicles without drilling whenever possible. We use professional picking and bypass tools that leave your existing lock intact, which means in most cases you keep your keys and your lock and simply walk back inside.
From walk-up tenements on the Lower East Side to doorman high-rises in Midtown, we know the door hardware New Yorkers actually have — old mortise locks, jimmy-proof deadbolts, intercom-linked electric strikes — and we carry the tools to open them all.
We bring emergency lockout service to every neighborhood we serve. Local guides:
We dispatch the nearest available technician immediately. Arrival time depends on traffic and your exact location, but most lockouts in our core service area are reached quickly — call and we'll give you a realistic ETA on the spot.
Our first approach is always non-destructive: picking, bypassing, or decoding. Drilling is a last resort and we will explain why it's needed and get your go-ahead before we do it.
That's the most common lockout we handle. Once we open the door without damage, your keys are right where you left them and your lock keeps working normally.
Open 24/7 — call or send a request.
