Our Non-Destructive Entry Approach for Your Home
When you are locked out of your house, our primary goal is to regain access without damaging your property. Our technicians are skilled in various non-destructive entry techniques, such as lock picking and bypassing cylinder mechanisms. This approach preserves your existing deadbolt or knob lock, meaning it remains fully functional once you are back inside.
We carry specialized tools designed for different residential lock types commonly found in Dunkirk homes. This allows us to address situations where a key is simply left indoors, a deadbolt has jammed, or the door slammed shut with keys still in the house. We always aim to leave your lock intact and operational.
What if My Lock is Damaged or Unpickable?
While non-destructive entry is our standard procedure, there are instances where a lock is too damaged, seized, or is a high-security model that cannot be picked. In such cases, we will discuss the situation with you first. Drilling a cylinder is a last resort, and it is only performed after clear communication and your consent.
Should a cylinder need to be drilled, our vans are stocked with replacement cylinders. This means we can replace the damaged part on the spot, ensuring your home is secure before we leave. We aim to complete the job in a single visit, providing a functioning lock and new keys, so you are never left with an unsecured door in Dunkirk.
Beyond the Front Door: Garage and Patio Lockouts
House lockouts are not limited to the main entry points. Many homes in Dunkirk have side doors, patio sliders, or garage entry doors that can also present lockout challenges. These doors often feature different types of hardware, such as mortise locks on older side doors or specific sliding door latches, which require distinct methods for entry.
Our technicians are prepared for these variations. We can address lockouts for all residential access points, including garage side doors and sliding glass doors. If a lock has failed on one of these less-used entryways, we can still provide non-destructive access and, if necessary, replace or repair the problematic lock on site.
