Here are the key steps to take when locked out:
1. Stay Calm and Assess the Situation
Panic can escalate the problem. Take a moment to assess the situation before proceeding with any action.
2. Check for Spare Keys
If you have entrusted spare keys to a friend, family member, or neighbor, now is the time to contact them. For businesses, a colleague or another staff member might have access.
3. Try Alternative Entrances
For home or business lockouts, check if any other doors or windows are unlocked. Be sure to avoid damaging any property while trying to enter.
4. Avoid DIY Solutions if you have no experience or understanding of how locks work.
Many people attempt to pick locks or force doors open themselves. This can cause significant damage to the locks or doors and may end up costing more in repairs than calling a professional locksmith.
5. Call a Licensed Locksmith
The most reliable and safest option is to call a professional licensed and positively reviewed locksmith. Queens County Locksmith offers 24/7 emergency services and can be onsite within minutes to help with lockouts. With highly trained technicians and the latest tools, they can ensure a quick and damage-free solution in most cases. Sometimes the only way to open some locks is a destructive opening which breaks the lock but a professional locksmith can replace your locks as well. Queens County Locksmith also provides high security lock picking solutions for many high security locks.
6. Consider Upgrading Your Security
After the lockout is resolved, it’s worth considering if your current locks or security systems need an upgrade. Queens County Locksmith provides consultations on advanced locking mechanisms, keyless entry systems, and enhanced security solutions to prevent future lockouts or security breaches. It all depends on the doors and windows currently installed in each property.
