What to try first, and what not to try at all.
Before we touch the lock, you know what it will cost.
Call if you need someone right now. Otherwise send this and we will contact you back.
Before calling anyone, two minutes of checking is worth it. A surprising number of lockouts end with a door that was never actually locked, or a spare that exists two floors down.
Back doors, garage doors and windows that were left open. It happens more than people admit.
Managers and front desks in San Francisco buildings often hold a spare for exactly this.
A credit card on a modern deadbolt does nothing, and a damaged door costs far more than a lockout.
A locksmith who does not ask for these is not one you want working on your door.
If they can get to you quickly with a key, yes. That is the cheapest way back in.
Not through a deadbolt, and trying can damage the door. If the door is only on the latch it sometimes works, but it is not worth damaging the frame.
Something that ties you to the apartment, like a lease, a bill or an ID with the address.
One number, answered around the clock, in English, Spanish, Russian and Chinese. Not urgent? Pick the time. Same day, later in the week or on the weekend, whatever works for you.
Answered day and night, every day of the year.
