From our Greenbelt base, a technician can typically arrive at your residence within 20 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic conditions and your exact address within the 20768, 20770, or 20771 ZIP codes.Once on site, the duration of the job depends on the type and condition of your lock.

Our Approach to Non-Destructive Home Entry
Our primary method for resolving house lockouts in Greenbelt is non-destructive entry. This involves specialized tools and techniques like lock picking or bypassing the cylinder. These methods allow us to manipulate the internal mechanisms of the lock to open the door without causing any damage to the lock hardware or the door itself.In situations where a lock is severely damaged, internally failed, or has been compromised, drilling might become necessary. This is always a last resort, discussed with you in advance. If a cylinder must be drilled, we carry replacement cylinders on our vans to ensure your home is re-secured immediately with a new lock and keys.
