Locked Out?

Even the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile needs emergency lockout help

Even the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile needs emergency locksmith service when the driver accidentally locks the keys inside!

Getting locked out of your car, home, office, safe, or mailbox can seriously disrupt your day. We understand how stressful these situations are and work to help you regain access quickly and safely.

Each lockout scenario is unique, but you can rest easy knowing our locksmith has decades of experience unlocking locks of all types and has the expertise to open them safely without damaging the lock mechanism. Here are just a few examples of emergency lockout services we provide:

  • Residential – we can open any door lock around your home, including your front, back, side, garage door, shed, and safe locks.
  • Commercial – We can unlock locks on main entrance doors, warehouse doors, loading dock overhead doors, filing cabinets, safes, and high-security locks.
  • Automotive – Call us when you need unlocking service for your car, truck, van, SUV, semi-truck, or RV. We can unlock doors, trunks, and truck bed toolboxes so you can recover your keys. NOTE: We do not do car key programming or ignition lock repair, so if you’ve lost your keys, we can get you back inside your vehicle, but we can not make new keys for you.

What Qualifies As an Emergency Locksmith Need?

Emergency locksmith service is appropriate when you cannot safely enter or secure your home, vehicle, or commercial property due to lost keys, broken locks, or a break-in (or attempted break-in) that badly damages your door. If a lock is stuck or you cannot secure a door properly, that also qualifies for emergency attention.

We prioritize these situations for scheduling based on availability and distance from our service base. While we do not provide a 24-hour response, we aim to resolve emergencies promptly through same-day or next-day appointments when possible. If you’re not sure whether your situation qualifies, our team will help determine the right course of action when you call.

Everyday Emergency Situations We Handle

Before and after of a door badly damaged by a break-in attempt.

This door was badly damaged after an attempted break-in, but our repairs made it more secure than before with a new deadbolt, handle, and protective wrap plate.

Lock problems can happen without warning. Many of our emergency calls come from people who leave the house to run an errand or go to work and lock the door behind them, but forget to bring their keys with them! Others contact us after someone attempts to break in and leaves the door and/or lock badly damaged.

We also receive service requests involving keys broken inside locks or doors that won’t latch due to misalignment. These issues affect security and day-to-day operations, especially for business owners or landlords managing multiple entry points. Frequent emergency locksmith calls involve:

  • Lost or stolen keys
  • Broken or jammed locks
  • Doors that won’t close or latch
  • Keys stuck or snapped inside the lock
  • Entry issues following a break-in or eviction

Emergency Lock Repair and Lock Replacement

Some emergencies involve more than just access issues. If a lock is physically damaged or the key has broken off in the lock cylinder, we inspect the hardware and determine whether repair or replacement is needed. Our locksmiths arrive prepared with standard hardware for homes and businesses, allowing us to complete most fixes during the same visit.

We repair deadbolts, knobs, and latch components and adjust strike plates and hinges that affect lock function. When the damage is too extensive, we can install new locks on-site. This ensures your door works properly and your space remains secure after the emergency is resolved. Whether the issue occurred from wear or forced entry, we help restore control of the entry point.

Key Extraction and Lock Rekeying Services

Keys break off inside locks more often than most people expect. If your key is stuck or snapped in a lock, we perform key extraction using precise, non-damaging tools. After the key is removed, we assess whether the lock can be used safely as-is or if you should change the lock.

If you feel safer changing your locks but don’t have the budget for a new lock, our lock rekeying service is the way to go. When we rekey your lock, we replace just the pins in the internal lock cylinder to work with a new key, and you get to keep your existing lock hardware. Rekeying is also a common follow-up to emergency unlocks, particularly in rental properties or after employee turnover.

Car Door Unlocking

Locked out of your car? We provide car door unlocking throughout Milwaukee and Waukesha County. Our locksmiths use tools that open the door without damaging the lock or vehicle. This service is intended for cases where the keys are locked inside or left in the ignition.

We do not offer car key replacement, ignition repair, or programming services, but we can help you regain access to your vehicle anywhere in the Milwaukee area so you can retrieve your keys. Appointments are required, and availability may vary depending on your location and the urgency of the request.

Security Support After Emergency Service

After we restore access, many customers ask us to help re-secure the property. We offer lock installation, rekeying, and door adjustments immediately following emergency calls. If the door frame has been compromised or the hardware is outdated, we provide hardware recommendations and complete the installation during the same visit when possible.

This follow-up work helps prevent repeat incidents and gives you confidence that your Milwaukee property is secure. Whether you’re managing a home, rental unit, or storefront, we arrive ready to improve your security on-site without requiring a second appointment.
