Emergency House Lockout Service

Locked out of your home?

NorthWest Lock & Key provides residential lockout service for homeowners, tenants, property managers, and other authorized occupants.

Depending on the lock and situation, we use professional locksmith tools and entry techniques to regain access while minimizing unnecessary damage to the door and hardware.

Common residential lockouts include:

• Keys locked inside the house

• Lost house keys

• Keys left somewhere else

• Broken or damaged keys

• Door locks that won't turn

• Keypad or electronic lock problems

• Keys broken inside a lock

• Doors that will not unlock normally

 

Lost or Stolen House Keys

If your house keys have been lost or stolen, simply making another copy doesn't prevent the missing key from being used.

In many cases, we can rekey your existing locks so the old keys no longer operate them.

Rekeying allows you to keep compatible existing hardware while changing which key opens the property. We can then provide new keys that you control.

This can be especially important when you don't know where a missing key ended up or who may have access to it.

 

Broken Key in a Door Lock

Keys can weaken over time and occasionally break inside a deadbolt, knob, lever, or other lock.

Trying to remove the broken piece with pliers, screwdrivers, glue, or other household tools can push the key farther into the cylinder or damage the lock.

NorthWest Lock & Key can remove many broken keys and inspect the lock afterward to determine whether additional repair is necessary.

 

Lock Suddenly Stopped Working

A lock that worked yesterday can sometimes become difficult or impossible to operate.

The problem may involve the lock itself, the key, door alignment, internal components, or the relationship between the deadbolt and strike.

Common symptoms include:

• Key won't turn

• Key turns but the door won't unlock

• Deadbolt is stuck

• Lock feels loose

• Key gets stuck in the lock

• Door won't latch or lock

• Lock suddenly becomes difficult to operate

• Keypad operates but the deadbolt won't move properly

We can evaluate the hardware and determine whether the lock can be adjusted or repaired or whether replacement is the better option.

 

Emergency Lock Rekeying

There are situations where you may need your locks changed quickly even if you're not currently locked out.

Emergency rekeying may be appropriate after:

• Lost house keys

• Stolen keys

• A break-in or attempted break-in

• Unauthorized access to the property

• A recently recovered set of keys

• Concern that unknown copies of a key exist

• A change in authorized access to the property

When compatible hardware is in good condition, rekeying can often secure the property without replacing every lock.

 

Damaged Locks & Break-In Repairs

If a door lock has been damaged during a break-in or attempted break-in, securing the property should be a priority.

Depending on the extent of the damage, we may be able to repair, rekey, adjust, or replace the affected lock hardware.

If the door or frame has suffered significant structural damage, additional repair by a qualified door or construction professional may also be necessary.

 

Emergency Lock Replacement

Some locks are too damaged or worn to be reliably repaired or rekeyed.

When replacement is necessary, NorthWest Lock & Key can install compatible residential lock hardware and make the necessary adjustments for proper operation.

When possible, compatible replacement locks can also be keyed to match other locks throughout the home.

 

Keypad & Smart Lock Problems

Electronic locks are convenient until they decide not to cooperate.

A keypad or smart lock problem may be caused by the batteries, electronics, mechanical deadbolt, door alignment, or installation.

If you're unable to enter your home because of an electronic lock, we can evaluate the situation and determine an appropriate method of entry.

We can also repair, adjust, or replace many mechanical components associated with residential electronic locks.
