Residential and Commercial Lockouts

Our locksmith has decades of experience opening all types of locks, including residential doorknob locks (top) and high-security commercial deadbolts. (bottom)
If you’re locked out of your house, apartment, or office, we can help. Our team unlocks residential and commercial doors and other locks using specialized tools designed to open locks safely and without causing damage to the lock mechanism or the surrounding door.
We can unlock all types of locks including deadbolts, knobs, levers, many smart locks, and keypads with a manual override. If the lock is stuck or has been jammed due to an attempted break-in, we will evaluate whether repair or replacement of the lock is needed after opening the door. Our locksmith can provide these additional services if necessary:
- Rekey the lock to work with a new key and cut duplicates so you have spares
- Install a new lock if the original one is too damaged to repair
- Repair/replace the lock’s latch, latch plate, strike plate, and other components
Safe Unlocking
We also provide safe unlocking service for homeowners and businesses across Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. If you’ve lost the combination or key or the electronic keypad has stopped working, we can restore access and make any necessary repairs or combination changes.
We will use non-destructive unlocking techniques to open your fireproof document safe, gun safes, cash drop safes, floor safes, and wall safes whenever possible, but in some cases, drilling into the safe is the only way for us to access the locking mechanism and open it. Before starting, we assess your safe’s lock type and condition to choose the correct tools and techniques. For electronic models, we check the keypad and circuit function and recommend replacement only if repairs are impossible.
After unlocking your safe, we can rekey locks, reset combinations, or install a new dial, push-button, or digital keypad combination lock so you can keep your important items secure.
Car Lockout Service in the Milwaukee Area
Locking your keys inside your car can disrupt your entire day, but our skilled and affordable automotive lockout service will help get you back on track! Our locksmith works on most domestic and foreign cars, vans, trucks, SUVs, RVs, and even semi-trucks, and can unlock doors, trunks, glove boxes, and truck bed tool boxes using specialized lock pick tools and techniques.
We do not offer car key replacement, key fob programming, or ignition repair. Our focus is on helping you open your vehicle and retrieve the keys locked inside. All car lockout requests must be scheduled in advance by phone. We arrive with the right tools and experience to open most vehicle doors safely. We assist with car lockout situations such as:
- Keys locked inside the cabin or trunk
- Manual lock jams that prevent entry
- Standard vehicle door locks (no programming required)
How We Open Locks Without Damage
Our team uses specialized lockout tools designed to preserve your lock and door. We choose the unlocking method based on the lock type, position, and condition. In most cases, the lock can be opened without drilling or replacing any parts.
If the lock is severely damaged, malfunctioning, or beyond repair, we will explain your options before proceeding. Drilling is always a last resort, and we make sure you understand the impact before starting. Our goal is to restore access with minimal disruption to your existing hardware.
