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.

Call a Trusted Local Locksmith

If no entry point is available, your next call should be to a licensed emergency locksmith in Arcadia or Central Phoenix.

We offer:

  • 24/7 home lockout response
  • Arrival times in 20–30 minutes for Arcadia
  • Damage-free lock picking and door opening

Affordable Security Locksmith and Alarm – Phoenix is locally based and responds fast.

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.
