About Us

Lockouts Are What We Know Best

Unlock Locksmith built its name on one thing done well: getting people back into their homes, offices and vehicles quickly and without unnecessary damage.

Non-destructive entry is our default approach — we only resort to drilling or forcing a lock when there's genuinely no other option, and we'll explain why before we do.

That same lockout expertise carries over into repairs, rekeys and full lock replacements, so you're covered beyond just the moment you're locked out.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you damage my lock or door to get me in?

In most cases, no — non-destructive entry is our first approach. If a lock is already faulty or damaged, we'll explain that before attempting anything more invasive.

How long does a typical lockout take to resolve?

Most home and vehicle lockouts are resolved within 15-30 minutes of arrival, depending on the lock type.

Can you get into any type of lock?

We handle the vast majority of residential, commercial and automotive lock types. On the rare occasion a lock requires specialist parts, we'll tell you honestly rather than force something that could cause damage.

Do you charge more for a difficult lockout?

Our quote covers the job as assessed on-site. If it turns out more complex than expected, we'll explain why and confirm any change before continuing.

What proof of ownership do you need before letting me in?

We ask for reasonable proof you're authorised to access the property or vehicle — ID matching the address, or someone on-site who can confirm you live there.

Do lockouts happen more with certain lock types?

Older worn locks and certain digital locks with drained batteries are common causes — if lockouts keep happening, we can advise on a more reliable replacement.
