How Much Does It Cost To Get A House Unlocked In Jacksonville?
House lockout prices vary greatly because every situation is different. Getting a regular doorknob unlocked can be as cheap as $65, but when you get into more complicated situations such as screen doors being locked, and then the deadbolt and doorknob are locked, and they’re smart key or keypads, you can get into a much more expensive rate. We always provide the exact price to get the house unlocked before doing anything, but we might need to see the situation before we can give an accurate price quote. Why? Because sometimes the lock can look like a normal lock to the customer, but it’s a smart key lock which means we can’t just pick the lock, we’ll need to drill it. Of course, after we drill the lock, the customer will want a lock replacement as well, which must be factored into the quote. How can you tell if it’s a smart key lock? It will look like a classic lock but next to the cylinder where the key goes in, there’s a tiny hole, that tells you the lock has no internal pins, it has wafers, so it can’t be picked.

How To Unlock A House
Can you unlock the house yourself? In some cases, yes. However, you’ll need to be prepared for any outcome if it’s not a simple pick. If the lock is not a smart key lock, you can try buying a pick tool set and picking the lock following instructions on YouTube. If it’s only a doorknob, you can try the credit card trick (again YouTube is your friend). If it’s a smart key lock, you’ll need to drill it. You can try to drill it yourself, but if you over drill you’ll melt the metal and have an extremely hard time getting the lock open after that. If you need to pry the lock off because you over drilled, you may cause damage to the door, so it’s not recommended to try this yourself. If you need to get a storm door unlocked in Jacksonville, never drill it, as you can break the glass, you can try picking it, but for storm door unlock services, we always recommend calling a locksmith rather than trying yourself because the damage you can do is very expensive.
Emergency House Lockout Services

When customers need a locksmith to unlock the house in Jacksonville right now, we make it a priority to get to them fast and reschedule non-emergency calls to accommodate emergency lockout needs.
A Locksmith To Unlock a Door Without Causing Damage To The Lock
Will your locks be damaged if you get the door unlocked? If we must damage the lock (if it needs to be drilled) we will inform you and gain your consent first, however, in most cases your lock will not be damaged by getting the door unlocked by a professional locksmith. Most of the time, we can pick the lock. We can unlock sliding doors, storm doors, sheds, and more, and 90% of the time, no drilling is needed. Amateur locksmiths drill more often because they don’t know how to pick a complicated lock. When you call our team of experts, you can be assured that we will be able to pick the lock in most cases. Lock picking doesn’t cause damage as it’s only moving the internal pins like a key would.
What To Do If You Get Locked Out Of The House In Jacksonville
First, call us so we can head right over and get you inside ASAP. Next, when we get there, we’ll need your ID, so make sure you have it ready. If your address is not on your driver’s license, make sure you have a piece of mail or a bill with your name on it, matching the address, so we can unlock. This verification is needed to ensure that you’re not breaking into the house. Although we should be arriving very quickly, try to stay in the shade, if you have your car keys wait in the car with the AC running because it is very hot out most of the year. When we arrive, we’ll get your ID, get you a receipt to sign with the full price, complete the job, and then take payment, and you can be back to your busy day. This whole process should take less than an hour from the time you call us. Locked out of the apartment in Jacksonville? You may not have to pay a locksmith. In some apartment complexes, lockout services are either included in maintenance or available at a very reduced cost. First call maintenance and see if they can unlock the door for free, then call us to get the apartment unlocked if the complex can’t help you. Apartment lockout is the same as house lockout, but you may need to call your building to make sure they allow lock change. If we need to drill the apartment lock, you may need to have the complex put a new lock if that’s in their rules. Otherwise, we can install a new lock and rekey to the key you had so it’ll be the same as it was.
