I'm locked out. What should I do first?
If a child, a pet or anyone who can't get out is locked inside a car or a home, call 911 first. Otherwise, check the doors and windows you can reach safely, then call a locksmith who tells you where they're based, who's coming and the price before starting.

The first five minutes
If a child, a pet or a vulnerable person is locked inside a car or a home, call 911 first. In a Winnipeg winter, and in a summer car, minutes matter more than the lock. Emergency services can get in faster than anyone, and you can call us afterwards for the lock.
If nobody is at risk:
- Get warm or get safe. At minus 30, find a neighbour, a store, a lobby or a warm car while you sort this out. Don't stand at the door.
- Check every way in that you can reach safely. Back door, patio door, the door from the garage, a window you can open without climbing. Don't force a window or climb onto a roof.
- Think about spare keys. A neighbour, a family member, your landlord or building manager, a lockbox you forgot about. Building managers can often let tenants in.
- Call or text us. Say where you are and what's locked. For a car, give the year, make and model. You'll get the price before anyone drives out.
- Wait somewhere warm. We tell you who's coming and when to expect them.
What happens when we arrive
We ask for ID before opening anything. For a home, show your ID. For a car, ID that matches the registration. Being asked is a good sign: a locksmith who opens a door for anyone will open yours for a stranger. See what we ask for and why.
Then we pick or bypass the lock. Most lockouts open without drilling or damage. If a lock has to be drilled, we tell you first. If you've lost your keys, ask about a rekey while we're there, so the lost key stops working.
Car stuck behind a garage door
If your car is inside and the garage door won't open, don't touch a broken spring and don't try to lift a heavy door on your own. A door with a broken spring can drop. Leave the manual release alone if you're not sure, and call. We handle garage door springs, openers and cables around the clock. What to do when your car is stuck behind the garage door.
Why we show the price before we drive out
Lockouts are where people get overcharged: a low number on the phone, then a much bigger one at the door. We do the opposite. You hear the price first, and you say yes before we start. If the job turns out bigger, we stop and ask. Read our Price Promise.

Car stuck behind the garage door
Don't touch a broken spring and don't try to lift a heavy door on your own. Call or text us. Garage door call-outs run 24 hours, and we tell you the price before any work starts.

Key snapped or stuck
Stop turning it. Don't push the broken piece in deeper or reach for superglue. Text us a photo of the lock, and we extract the broken piece and cut you a working key, usually on the same visit.

Keys locked in a running car

Questions people ask
- Do you come out at night and on weekends?
- Yes. Lockouts don't keep office hours, so neither do we. The line is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including holidays.
- Will you have to drill my lock?
- Usually not. Most house, car and business lockouts open without damage. If a lock really has to be drilled, we tell you why and what it changes before we touch it, and you decide.
- How do I know the person who shows up is from you?
- Before we arrive we tell you who is coming and the door word they will say. If the person at your door can't say it, don't open the door. Call us instead.
- How much does an emergency lockout cost?
- It depends on the lock, the vehicle or door, and the time of day. We tell you the price on the phone before anyone drives out, and you say yes before any work starts.
- Can you come to towns outside Winnipeg?
- Yes, we cover the Capital Region. We send the nearest available locksmith and tell you on the phone when to expect them.
