After-hours pricing
We don't add a surcharge for nights, weekends or holidays. You'll hear the price before we start, so there are no surprises when the job is done.
What to do while you wait
- Move somewhere safe and well lit, especially at night or on a roadside.
- If a child or pet is locked in a car on a hot day, call 911 first.
- If you suspect a break-in, don't go inside. Call the police and then call us to secure the door.
- Have ID ready that shows you live at the address or own the vehicle.
After a break-in
Once the police have finished, we can repair or replace damaged locks and strike plates, rekey locks if keys were taken, and recommend sturdier deadbolts so the property is secure again before you leave.

Frequently asked questions
How soon can someone get to me?
It depends on where you are, traffic and how many calls are ahead of you. We'll give you an honest estimate when you call.
Do you charge more at night?
Our policy is no surcharge for nights, weekends or holidays. We quote the price before starting.
Can you get me in without damaging the door?
We try non-destructive methods first. If a lock must be drilled, we'll explain why and the cost before we do it.
Do you need ID?
Yes. For your protection we confirm you live at the address or own the vehicle before opening it.
