Lockouts
Lockout Services
Opening a locked door without a key is a skill, and so is knowing when not to. We confirm the caller has a right to enter, choose the least destructive way in, and only drill a cylinder when picking and bypass have been tried and failed.

Locked out of a home or business, a key snapped in the lock or a lock that has seized: entry with the least damage, then the door secured again.

Where the key went
The next question is about the key rather than the lock. A key left on the hall table means the lock is healthy and only the door needs opening. A key lost on a bus, dropped in a parking lot or taken with a stolen bag means a stranger could be holding it, which changes the advice given after entry.
A key that turns without moving anything points to wear inside the cylinder or a broken tailpiece, and a key that snapped calls for extraction before anything else. Ten seconds of honest history about the key saves guesswork and shapes the whole visit.
