Step 1: Stay Calm and Stay Safe
First things first—don’t try to break in. You risk damaging your doors or windows and possibly injuring yourself. Instead:
- Check all doors and windows (some may be unlocked)
- Call a roommate, landlord, or trusted neighbor if possible
- Wait in a well-lit, secure location (a porch, patio, or nearby business if open)
If it’s cold or very late, consider waiting in your car until help arrives.
Step 2: Contact an Emergency Locksmith Near You
In Phoenix, temperatures and safety conditions can vary widely at night. That’s why our 24-hour emergency locksmiths are strategically located across neighborhoods like:
- Central Phoenix
- Ahwatukee Foothills
