Locked out of your house or apartment?

Apartment lockouts
Most apartment entry doors use a deadlatch that locks automatically when the door shuts. These can usually be opened without harming the door or frame. We may ask you to show ID or proof of residence before opening a door; that protects you as much as anyone.
House lockouts
Older homes across Arncliffe, Bexley and Earlwood often have mortice locks or older deadbolts. We carry the tools to open these and can repair or replace a worn lock on the same visit if you want it done.
Questions
Do I need to prove I live there?
Yes. We ask for ID, a lease, a bill or confirmation from the building manager before opening a residence. It is a standard safety step.
Can you open a locked balcony or sliding door?
Usually, yes. Sliding door locks vary a lot, so describe it on the phone and we'll tell you what's likely.
