Most house lockouts we attend follow the same four steps, from the moment you telephone us to the moment you are standing back inside your own home.
- How fast we get thereA technician normally arrives within 20 to 30 minutes, day or night, depending on traffic and on which part of the valley you are calling from.
- What it costsYou hear the price on the telephone before anyone is dispatched. Across Las Vegas a residential lockout usually costs between $85 and $195, depending on the lock and the hour.
- How we open the doorOur technicians pick the lock or use a bypass tool in almost every situation, and drilling is a rare last resort that we always explain before starting.
- What to have readyIdentification that shows the property address, or a lease or closing statement if you have only recently moved in and your documents have not caught up yet.
What Happens When You Call
Tell us the address, which door you are locked out of, and roughly what the lock looks like. A knob, a deadbolt, a smart lock and a sliding patio door each require different tools, so a quick description allows us to give you an accurate price before anyone sets off.
If a child or a pet is shut inside, or something is cooking on the stove, mention it immediately and we will prioritize the job as a genuine emergency. If anyone is in danger, call 911 first. While you wait, please do not force a window, because broken glass and a damaged frame cost far more than the lockout itself.
How We Get You Back Inside
Most residential locks open without any damage at all. Our technicians pick the mechanism, slip the latch or use a bypass tool, which leaves your door, your frame and your existing hardware exactly as they were before you got locked out.
A small number of locks genuinely have to be drilled, usually because the mechanism has failed internally or because it is a high security cylinder designed to resist picking. When that is the situation we explain it before starting, and we can install a replacement lock during the same visit.
What a House Lockout Costs in Las Vegas
You receive the price on the telephone before a technician is dispatched. The figure depends on the type of lock and the time of day, and evenings, weekends and public holidays cost more than an ordinary weekday afternoon. What should never change the price is the technician arriving at your door.
Across Las Vegas, residential lockouts usually cost between $85 and $195. Our price guide explains what moves that number, and our guide to locksmith scams describes the warning signs of a quotation that increases once the locksmith is standing on your doorstep.
After You Are Back In
If your keys were lost or stolen, consider rekeying the lock while the technician is still there. A rekey rearranges the pins inside your existing lock so every previous key stops working, and residential rekeys begin at $79.99. We can also cut spare keys on the spot.
To prevent the next lockout, leave a spare key with someone you trust, or ask us about a keypad or smart lock that never needs a key at all. Our article on whether to rekey or replace your locks will help you decide which option makes sense.

Questions We Get Asked
How much does a house lockout cost in Las Vegas?
Most residential lockouts in Las Vegas cost between $85 and $195, depending on the lock and the time of day. We give you our price on the telephone before anyone is dispatched, so there is no unpleasant surprise waiting at the door.
How fast can you get to me?
A technician normally reaches you within 20 to 30 minutes, day or night, depending on traffic and on which part of the valley you are calling from.
Will you damage my door or lock?
Almost never. We pick the lock or use a bypass tool first, and if a lock genuinely has to be drilled, we explain the reason before starting any work.
Do I need to prove I live there?
Yes, and any reputable locksmith should ask. Identification showing the address is the simplest answer, and if you have only just moved in, a lease or a closing statement is normally sufficient.
Can you make a new key while you are here?
Yes. We can cut keys at your door, and if a key was lost we can rekey the lock so the missing one stops working immediately. Residential rekeys begin at $79.99.
Are you open at night and on holidays?
Yes. We answer the telephone 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Overnight visits cost more than daytime appointments, and we always confirm that price with you before dispatching a technician.
