Frequently asked questions
How do I prove I live at the property before you open the door?
Our technician will ask to see a photo ID showing your name along with something that connects you to the address — a piece of mail, a lease agreement, a utility bill, or vehicle registration showing the same address. This step protects you as the homeowner and is standard practice for any responsible locksmith. The process is quick and is completed before any entry work begins.
Will your technician damage my door or lock to get inside?
Our first approach is always non-destructive entry. In the vast majority of residential lockouts, our trained technicians can open the door without damaging the lock, the door frame, or the surrounding finish. If a lock has been physically damaged before we arrive — for instance, if someone tried to force it — we'll assess the situation and explain your options, which may include lock replacement rather than picking. We always tell you what's needed before doing any work.
Do you service all types of residential locks in Westbury?
Yes. Our technicians are experienced with the full range of residential hardware found in Nassau County homes — standard pin tumbler deadbolts, knob locks, lever handle locks, mortise locks, sliding door locks, and electronic or smart lock systems. Westbury's mix of older homes and newer construction means we encounter a wide variety of lock generations and styles regularly, and we come prepared for all of them.
What if my key broke off inside the lock — is that a different service?
Broken key extraction is a separate but closely related service we handle during the same visit. Our technicians carry specialized extraction tools designed to remove broken key fragments without damaging the internal components of your lock cylinder. Once the fragment is out, we can also cut a new key on the spot or rekey the lock if the original key has been lost. There is no need to schedule a second appointment.
Can you also help with a car lockout while you're at my home?
Absolutely. While our technicians are on-site for a house lockout, they can also assist with a vehicle locked in the driveway or on the street. Car lockout service covers most makes and models and involves the same non-damaging entry approach we use for homes. If you need both services during the same call, we'll quote each one separately and confirm the full total before starting any work.
What should I do while I wait for a locksmith to arrive?
Stay in a safe, visible spot near your home — ideally under a porch light or near a neighbor you know. Avoid repeatedly trying to force windows or doors open, as this is the most common cause of accidental damage during a lockout. If you believe you left another entry point unlocked — a back door or garage door — it's worth checking those first. Otherwise, stay put, stay calm, and keep your phone available so our technician can reach you directly when they're nearby.
