We’ve all had that horrible feeling that comes with a home or office lockout. One minute, you’re going through your day as normal, and then next, you find yourself in a panic because you realize that you can’t find your keys. What’s worse, you might have food on the stove inside the house or an important client meeting that just can’t be rescheduled. You need solutions, fast!
Here at Advanced Lock and Key, we’ve helped many Cleveland homeowners and business owners deal with this stressful problem. Here’s our guide to dealing with a residential or commercial lockout.
The stress of a lockout can put you in a panicked state, and that can make it difficult to think clearly. In fact, there have been plenty of times when clients have called us out only to realize that the key they thought they lost was in their back pocket or under the seat of their car.
So, before you do anything else, take a deep breath. Remember that lockouts happen all the time and there is a solution to the problem!
It might be tempting to try to pick the lock yourself or use a method like the credit card trick to try to open the lock without the key. The risk here is that you could end up damaging the internal cylinder or ruining your credit card without successfully opening the door. This, of course, can result in more of a hassle and expense for you in the long run.
If your key is broken in the lock, we would also recommend not trying to extract it yourself. As with trying to pick the lock with a paperclip or other foreign object, trying to remove a broken key can damage the lock.
The fastest and most secure way to regain entry into your home or office during a lockout is to call your local locksmith. We will arrive on site with the specialized tools we need to open your door without damaging the lock. Take a look at the range of lockout services we offer:

After you’ve had a lockout situation, you won’t want to have to deal with another one in the future. Luckily, there are a few ways that you can prevent another lockout, such as:
In the case that you locked your keys in your home or office, you don’t have to worry about the security implications after you’ve called for a lockout service. But, how about in the case of your key being lost or stolen? In this scenario, we might recommend that you rekey your locks to restore your security and prevent a future break-in.
Rekeying works by recalibrating your existing lock to a new set of keys, rendering the old ones unusable. We can perform this service on site, giving you instantly restored security after your home or office lockout.
Maybe you’ve been thinking about upgrading your locks for a while and it just kept getting put at the end of your to-do list.
