Lock problems do not keep office hours

A lockout on Christmas Eve, a key that snaps after a late New Year celebration, or coming home from a long weekend to find the door damaged: these things happen when many businesses are closed.

Why holidays and weekends are busy

People travel, host guests, carry more bags and keep later hours. Homes are left empty for longer, which can attract break-in attempts. All of this adds up to more lock and key calls.

What to expect when you call

  • Questions about where you are and what happened
  • A quote before anyone sets off, including any after-hours rate
  • An honest estimate of when a technician can reach you
  • ID checks before a home or car is opened

Prepare before you travel

  • Leave a spare key with someone you trust rather than under a mat
  • Check that deadbolts and patio door locks work properly
  • Rekey if keys have gone missing
  • Save a local locksmith's number in your phone
