What Is a Business Lockout Service?

A business lockout service gets you back into your store, office, or storage space when you can't open it: a lost or broken key, a lock that has failed or been damaged, or a door that won't unlock. We open commercial entry and garage doors and make new keys or rekey the lock, so the same problem doesn't come back. A lockout stops work and sales, so we work to get you back inside quickly.

How Our Business Lockout Service Works


When you're locked out of your business, every minute counts. We come to your location, check the lock, and open the door as quickly as we can, using the method that does the least damage to your lock and door. Whether it's an entry door, a garage door, a mailbox, a safe, or a file cabinet, the goal is the same: get you back inside and back to work. Our technicians work with deadbolts, cylinders, and mortise locks, and we serve businesses across Northern Virginia and Washington D.C.

  • Call us. Tell us what's locked and where you are. If you're not sure which lock is the problem, describe what happens when you try the key and we'll help you work it out. We confirm availability and your address, then send a technician to your location.

  • We open the door. The technician checks the lock and chooses the least invasive way in. In most cases the lock and the door come through untouched. If a lock is damaged, or has to be drilled to get you inside, we explain it first and can replace the lock so your business isn't left unsecured.

  • New keys and/or rekey. If a key was lost or broken, or you're worried the wrong person has one, we make new keys and/or rekey the lock when needed, so the old key stops working.

  • Spare keys. Ask us for extra copies while we're there, so the owner, the manager, and your team each have a key and nobody is stuck outside again.

  • Clear price. You'll know the price before we start: we give you an upfront quote once we've seen the lock, so there are no surprises when the door opens.

We work with storefronts, offices, warehouses, and multi-tenant buildings. Business owners and property managers call us when a key is lost, a former employee still has one, or a lock simply stops working. Lockouts are stressful, and we treat them that way: a clear answer on the phone, a technician on the way, and a door that opens. Call us and we'll tell you what to expect before the technician arrives.
