Locked Out of Your House in Las Vegas
Check the easy ways in for two minutes, then call. Most house locks open without damage. In Las Vegas a house lockout usually runs $85 to $195 by lock type and hour, and you hear our price first.
Try These First
- Try every door, including the side gate, the garage entry door and the back slider.
- Think about who has a key, such as a roommate, a neighbor or your property manager.
- Open your smart lock app and try a guest code or the keypad.
- Look for a key override on your keypad lock.
Do not break a window, pry the frame or try to shim a deadbolt. Deadbolts do not slip open the way a spring latch can.
Why the Door Will Not Open
| Situation | How to Tell | Usual Method |
|---|---|---|
| Spring latch caught | The door is pulled shut with the knob locked | Bypass tool or slip the latch |
| Deadbolt locked, keys inside | You are outside and the keys are inside | Pick the cylinder |
| Keys lost | Nobody can find them | Open the door, then rekey |
| Key broken in the lock | Half a key is stuck in the keyway | Take out the piece, then cut a new key |
| Smart lock dead | The keypad is dark or the app cannot connect | Use the key override or a power jump, then new batteries |
| Worn cylinder | The key needs jiggling and finally will not turn | Open the door, then replace the cylinder |
| High security or failed lock | Pick resistant cylinder, or a broken mechanism | Drill as a last resort, then install a new lock |
What to Have Ready
We ask for a photo ID and proof that you live there. If your documents are inside, tell us when you call.
Good to Know
Can you open my door without damage?
In most cases, yes. We pick the lock or use a bypass tool in almost every situation, and we explain drilling before we start if a lock truly needs it.
How much is a lockout at night?
Nights, weekends and holidays usually add $25 to $75 in Las Vegas. Ask for the full price with that charge included.
