Locked Out of Your House in Arcadia, Phoenix? Here’s What to Do
You’ve just stepped outside to grab the mail—or maybe you closed the door behind you too fast—and now you’re locked out of your house. If you live in Arcadia, Phoenix, or a nearby neighborhood like Camelback East or Biltmore, don’t panic. Being locked out is a common issue, and help is only minutes away.
At Affordable Security Locksmith and Alarm, we provide 24/7 emergency house lockout services across Arcadia and the entire Phoenix metro. Here’s what to do when you find yourself standing on the wrong side of your front door—especially near landmarks like Arizona Country Club, Camelback Mountain, or Arcadia Park.
First Things First – Stay Calm and Safe
Before doing anything else:
- Make sure children or pets inside are safe
- Don’t try to force the door open (this causes damage)
- Stay in a safe, well-lit area—especially at night
Check All Entry Points
Sometimes another door or window may be unlocked:
- Back doors, garage side doors
- Sliding glass doors
- Basement or patio doors
Only attempt entry if it’s safe and doesn’t risk damage.

Avoid DIY Lock Picking
Using credit cards, paper clips, or bobby pins won’t work on modern locks and may damage your hardware. You could end up paying more for full lock replacement.
Instead, let our locksmiths:
- Pick the lock cleanly using precision tools
- Rekey or replace the lock if needed
- Create a duplicate key on the spot
Consider Rekeying After a Lockout
A lockout is a great time to ask:
- Have I lost my key?
- Could someone else have access?
- Have I moved into a new property recently?
We offer emergency rekeying and can change the lock combination immediately to restore security.
How to Prevent Future Lockouts
Here are a few smart ways Arcadia homeowners avoid future stress:
- Install a smart keypad lock (no keys needed)
- Hide a spare key in a lockbox (not under the doormat)
- Give a copy to a trusted neighbor or family member
We install and program smart locks from Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and more.
