Locked Out of Your Business in Phoenix After Hours? Here’s What to Do
It’s after hours. You’re standing outside your locked business in Downtown Phoenix, Tempe, or Arcadia with no key in sight. Maybe you lost it, left it inside, or your electronic access control just failed. Regardless of how it happened, one thing is certain—you’re locked out and you need help fast.
Don’t panic. Getting locked out of your office, restaurant, warehouse, or retail space is more common than you think, and there’s a smart, damage-free way to handle it.
Need help now? Call Affordable Security’s 24/7 emergency commercial locksmith team.
Step 1: Stay Calm and Assess the Situation
Before trying to force the door or panic call your manager:
- Double-check all entrance points, including employee-only entrances, back doors, and side gates
- Determine whether the lockout is due to a lost key, malfunctioning smart system, or lock failure
- Think about whether any team members or managers have spare keys or access credentials
The more info you have when calling a locksmith, the faster we can help.
Step 2: Avoid DIY Damage to Locks or Doors
Trying to use a screwdriver, pry bar, or coat hanger may seem tempting—but it usually causes more problems than it solves. Most commercial-grade locks are pick-resistant and force-proof for a reason.
Forcing a door can:
- Destroy lock hardware
- Damage door frames
- Trigger building alarms or alert authorities
- Void your insurance policy
