Deadbolt Won't Turn

Lock Frozen in Winter

Delaware winters freeze locks solid. Forcing a frozen lock often breaks the key inside. We safely thaw and lubricate locks using professional methods — no hot water damage to your door.

Common Emergency Lock Repair Questions in Newport

Is there an extra charge for after-hours or weekend service? expand_more

We keep our after-hours response transparent. While some companies charge extreme premiums at night, our after-hours diagnostic quotes remain consistent. We'll always provide a transparent diagnostic quote upfront before we start—no surprises when you're already stressed.

Can you get me in through a window instead of the door? expand_more

We prefer to enter through your locked door using professional tools—it's safer and doesn't risk window damage. However, if you have an unlocked window, we can advise you. Our goal is getting you in without any damage.

Are your locksmiths background-verified? expand_more

Yes, every technician on our team undergoes rigorous multi-stage background verification and carries comprehensive professional insurance. We prioritize your security by ensuring our staff are verified experts in residential, commercial, and automotive lock systems.

What if my commercial lockout also triggers the alarm? expand_more

We work with you to coordinate with your alarm company before entry. Many clients have us on their authorized list. If needed, we can wait while you contact monitoring to prevent a false alarm response.

What should I do while waiting for the locksmith? expand_more

Prioritize your safety by staying in a well-lit area or nearby open business.

Why Locks Fail
