Emergency Lockout Service in Port St. Lucie

When You're Locked Out Right Now

You're standing outside your house. Door's locked. Keys are inside. Phone's probably inside too.

Or you're in a parking lot. Keys locked in your car. Groceries melting in the trunk. You've got somewhere to be in 20 minutes.

Maybe it's your office. You showed up early. Your key doesn't work. You've got a meeting at 9 AM and employees showing up in 15 minutes.

This is what we do. Emergency lockouts. All day. All night. Every single day.

Since 2009, we've unlocked over 3,200 homes, cars, and businesses in Port St. Lucie. Houses in St. Lucie West where the garage door malfunctioned and the front door was locked. Cars at Tradition Square where parents left keys in running vehicles with kids inside. Offices on Gatlin Boulevard where locks failed right before opening time.

We show up fast. We get you back inside. Your lock stays intact. Your door stays undamaged. Crisis over.

What Types of Lockouts Do We Handle?

House Lockouts

You stepped outside for 2 seconds. Door closed behind you. Deadbolt engaged. Now you're locked out in your pajamas.

We pick the lock. We don't drill unless we absolutely have to. Most residential locks? We're through them in 5-10 minutes. You're back inside with your lock still working.

Car Lockouts

Keys in the ignition. Doors locked. Maybe the car's still running. Maybe your kid's still in there watching a movie.

We use slim jims, air wedges, and long-reach tools. No coat hangers. No broken windows. No scratched paint. We're in fast and clean.

Office and Business Lockouts

Lost your office key. Lock jammed. Key broke off inside. Your employees are standing outside. Customers are about to show up.

We get you back in. Fast. Pick the lock or make a new key on-site. You're open for business before most people even notice.

Trunk Lockouts

Keys locked in the trunk. Spare keys locked in the trunk with them. This happens more than you'd think.

We access the trunk through the cabin or pick the trunk lock directly. Either way, you get your keys back.

Apartment Lockouts

Apartment locks are tricky. Sometimes they're high-security. Sometimes they're cheap builder-grade. Sometimes the landlord installed weird restricted keyway locks.

We've seen them all. We pick them all. You're back inside your apartment fast.

How Fast Can You Actually Get Here?

St. Lucie West? 15-20 minutes usually. Tradition? Same. Central Port St. Lucie? 20-25 minutes.

Out in Port St. Lucie Gardens or River Park? 25-30 minutes. Jensen Beach or Stuart? 30-40 minutes. Fort Pierce? 35-45 minutes.

We tell you when we're on the way. We text you our ETA. You're not guessing when we'll show up.

We run multiple trucks. When you call, we dispatch whoever's closest. Not whoever's available in 4 hours. Whoever's close right now.

Will You Damage My Lock or Door?

Not if we can avoid it. 95% of lockouts? We pick the lock. Your hardware stays intact. Your door frame stays perfect.

That other 5%? High-security locks that can't be picked. Broken locks that were already damaged. Locks where drilling is the only option.

If we need to drill, we tell you first. We explain why. We get your approval. No surprise damage.

Real Emergency Lockout Stories

The Baby Monitor Panic

2:47 AM. Mom called us. She'd stepped outside to grab something from the car. Door swung closed behind her. Locked. Baby asleep upstairs.

She was in her bathrobe. No phone. She ran to a neighbor's house to call us.

We were there in 19 minutes. Picked the lock in 6 minutes. She was back inside before her baby even knew she was gone.

The Beach Trip Disaster

Family at Jensen Beach. Dad put the keys in the beach bag. Beach bag went in the car. Car locked automatically. All four of them standing there in wet swimsuits.

We met them in the beach parking lot. Used an air wedge and long-reach tool. Had them back in their car in 8 minutes. They made it home before the ice cream melted.

The Monday Morning Office Lockout

Office manager in Tradition. Showed up at 7:30 AM to open. Her key wouldn't turn. Kept trying. Key snapped in half. Half in the lock, half in her hand.

Employees showing up at 8:00. Client meeting at 8:30.

We extracted the broken key. Made a new one from her VIN. She was inside by 7:52. Employees walked in at 8:00 like nothing happened.

The St. Lucie West Dog Lockout

Guy let his dog out in the backyard. Came back inside through the garage. Went to let the dog back in. Sliding glass door was locked. Dog outside in 95-degree heat.

He was panicking. Dog was fine—sitting in the shade panting. But the guy was losing it.

We came through the front door. Unlocked the slider from inside. Dog came in. Everyone happy.

How Much Does Emergency Lockout Service Cost?

House lockout during the day? $85-150 depending on the lock type.

Car lockout? $75-125 depending on the car and how hard it is to access.

Office or commercial lockout? $100-175.

After midnight? Add $35-50 for emergency hours. Because someone's got to wake up and come get you.

We quote the price when you call. Before we come out. No surprise fees. No "oh that'll be $400" when we're done.

What Should I Do While I Wait?

Stay near the door. Don't wander off. We show up, we need you there.

Have your ID ready. We need to verify you live there or own the car. It's for your protection.

Don't try the coat hanger trick on your car. You'll bend your door frame. You'll scratch your paint. You might set off the airbag. Just wait for us.

Don't try to break a window unless it's life-threatening. Broken windows cost $200-500 to replace. Our lockout service costs $85-150. Do the math.

Do You Really Answer at 3 AM?

Yes. Every night. Someone's always on call.

Not an answering service. Not a voicemail. A real person who dispatches a real locksmith who's awake and ready to roll.

I've done 3 AM lockouts. I've done 5 AM lockouts. I've done Christmas morning lockouts. The locks don't care what time it is. Neither do we.

Common Questions About Emergency Lockouts

Can you really get here in 15-30 minutes?

In Port St. Lucie proper? Yes. St. Lucie West, Tradition, central PSL? That's our sweet spot. We're usually there in 15-25 minutes.

Further out? Takes longer. But we tell you the real ETA when you call. We don't lie to get your business.

What if I don't have ID to prove I live here?

We need some kind of verification. Mail with your address. Property tax bill. Neighbor who knows you. Something.

We're not unlocking your "friend's house" with zero proof. That's how we end up helping burglars. Not happening.

Will my insurance cover the lockout?

Some auto insurance policies cover lockouts. Some homeowners policies cover them. Call your insurance company and ask.

We can provide a receipt for reimbursement. But you pay us when we're done. Then you file with insurance.

Can you make me a new key while you're here?

For houses? Yes. We can rekey your lock right there so your old keys don't work anymore. Smart move if you've lost keys.

For cars? Sometimes. Depends on the car and what key-cutting equipment we have in the truck. We'll tell you if we can do it on-site.

What if my lock is high-security and can't be picked?

Some locks are designed to resist picking. Medeco. Mul-T-Lock. Abloy. These are tough.

We can still get you in. It might require drilling the lock and replacing it. We discuss options with you first.

Do you unlock safes too?

Some safes, yes. Depends on the type. Combination safes are harder than key safes. We'll assess it when we get there.

Because we answer the phone. Every time. Day or night.

Because we show up when we say we will. We don't give you a 4-hour window and show up 6 hours later.

Because we don't upsell you. We get you back inside. That's the job. If you want to rekey or upgrade locks, great. If not, also great. We're not salespeople.
