Stay somewhere safe and well lit: with a neighbour, in your car with the doors locked, or inside a nearby open business. Keep your phone charged and switched on. If a child, a vulnerable adult or a pet is locked inside a home or a hot car, call 911 first. In an Arizona summer a closed car heats up dangerously fast.
Prying a window, forcing a door or picking a lock with household tools often costs more than the lockout itself: bent frames, broken glass and ruined cylinders. A locksmith's entry tools are designed to open most standard locks without that kind of damage.
How soon we reach you depends on where you are, the time of day and how many calls are ahead of yours. When you call, we give you a realistic estimate, and we call you back if anything changes.
