Standing Outside Your Own Home in Charleston?

You left your keys on the kitchen counter and the deadbolt locked behind you at your condo in Mt. Pleasant?
Your rental property's combination lockbox jammed and your Airbnb guest is standing outside in the rain on Sullivan's Island?
You just moved into a new place in Park Circle and realized the previous tenant never returned all the keys?
Your child got home from school and can't get inside your house in West Ashley because the lock mechanism is jammed?
Your elderly parent is locked out of their home on James Island and can't reach the spare key you hid?

Services We Provide

Residential Lockout Entry

We pick or bypass your door lock using professional tools. Non-destructive methods mean your existing lock and door frame remain undamaged.

Deadbolt Lockout Service

Deadbolts require specialized picking or bumping techniques. We open single-cylinder and double-cylinder deadbolts without drilling.

Lock Replacement During Lockout

If the lock is old, malfunctioning, or you want to upgrade, we can install a new lock during the same service call — saving you a second trip.

Rekeying After Entry

Concerned about old keys floating around? After we let you in, we can rekey your locks on the spot so only your new keys work.
