How We Resolve Your Emergency Lockout

What Happens If Your Lock Can't Be Picked?

Sometimes, a lock's design or condition makes non-destructive entry impossible. In these rare cases, we'll discuss your options upfront:

• Force Entry: Controlled force to bypass or damage the lock. We'll quote this before proceeding.
• Lock Replacement: Remove the existing lock and install a new one. Faster than force entry in some cases.
• Access via Other Means: Window access, side door, or other entry points if available.

We never attempt a method without your approval and understanding the cost. Transparency is fundamental to our service.

Prevention: How to Avoid Lockouts

For Your Home

• Keep a spare key with a trusted neighbour or family member outside Mackay.
• Consider a keypad deadbolt or smart lock for hands-free entry.
• Develop a routine: keys in the same place before leaving.
• Use a key finder device to track keys on your keychain.

For Your Car

• Keep a spare car key in a secure location (not in the car).
• Check your pockets before closing the car door.
• Modern cars often allow remote unlocking via phone — check your manual.

For Your Office

• Assign backup key holders among staff.
• Implement an access log for after-hours entries.
• Consider keycard or electronic access for less reliance on physical keys.

No. Same price day or night, weekends or public holidays. We don't impose an after-hours premium.

We specialise in non-destructive entry. Most lockouts are resolved without damage. If damage-free entry isn't possible, we quote the alternative before proceeding.
