Emergency Lockout
Situations We Handle
Lockouts do not happen at convenient times. They happen at 2 AM, on holidays, in weather. We staff for that reality.
Home Lockouts
Locked out of your house, apartment, or condo? Lost the only set of keys? Our residential lockout service provides damage-free entry, day or night, with no harm to your locks, doors, or hardware.
Business & Commercial
Every minute your team is outside the door costs revenue. We handle commercial deadbolts, keypad systems, panic bars, master-keyed suites, and after-hours emergency entry for property managers.
Automotive Lockouts
Keys locked in the car, broken in the ignition, or lost entirely. Modern non-destructive tools that work on late-model vehicles without damaging paint, trim, or weather stripping. Full automotive details →
Storage Unit Access
Padlock, disc lock, or built-in mechanism — we restore access to storage units across all major facility brands. Bring your rental agreement and ID; we handle the rest.
Broken Key Extraction
Snapped a key in the ignition, door cylinder, or padlock? We extract the broken piece without removing the lock assembly — usually under fifteen minutes from arrival.
After-Hours & Holidays
Nights, weekends, holidays, blizzards, every day of the year. Our after-hours rate is quoted before dispatch — there are no surprise on-arrival upcharges, ever.
Pick Up the Phone.
Be Inside in 30 Minutes.
You Call. We Answer.
A real person — not a call tree, not a callback queue. We log your situation, verify the address, and confirm the rate before we dispatch.
Rate Quoted Up Front
You hear the price before the truck rolls. There are no on-arrival upcharges, no "diagnostic fees," and no surprise additions. The number we quote is the number you pay.
30-Minute Response Goal
Most in-city calls receive a technician on-site within 30 minutes. Outlying communities run 30 to 60 minutes depending on distance. We will tell you the realistic ETA when you call — not a sales-friendly fiction.
Damage-Free Entry
Modern non-destructive tools designed for the locks actually used today. No drilling unless drilling is the only honest option, and even then, only with your explicit permission and a pre-quoted replacement cost.
Card or Cash, Receipt in Hand
Pay by card on the spot through Stripe — same secure payment processing your bank uses. Cash accepted. Email receipt sent before we leave.

Quick Answers
How fast can you get to me? +
Most calls inside Sioux Falls city limits receive a technician on-site within 30 minutes. Calls in surrounding cities (Brandon, Harrisburg, Tea, Dell Rapids, Garretson) typically run 30 to 60 minutes depending on time of day and distance. We will quote a realistic ETA when you call — not an optimistic fiction.
How much does an emergency lockout cost? +
In-city daytime lockouts start at a flat service rate that we quote before dispatching. After-hours, holiday, and out-of-area calls are quoted at the same time and locked in before the truck rolls. There are no on-arrival upcharges and no "diagnostic fees" added on-site.
Are you really 24/7? Do you actually answer at 3 AM? +
Yes. Our line at (605) 223-8100 is staffed by a real person twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, including holidays and weekends. Voicemail is for callbacks during business consultations — emergency calls go to a live human.
Will you damage my door, lock, or vehicle? +
No. We use modern non-destructive entry tools that do not require prying frames, scraping weather stripping, or drilling locks. Drilling is reserved for situations where it is genuinely the only option — and we do not drill without your explicit verbal permission and a pre-quoted replacement cost.
What payment methods do you accept after hours? +
All major credit and debit cards through secure Stripe processing. Cash also accepted. Most regional locksmith competitors require checks or have card readers that mysteriously stop working at night; we do not. Email receipt is sent before we leave the site.
Do you do car lockouts as well as home and business? +
Yes. We're a full-service emergency locksmith — homes, apartments, businesses, automotive, fleet, motorcycles, and storage units. See full automotive locksmith details →
What if I need a key replaced, not just a lockout? +
We carry common blanks for residential and many commercial keys, plus on-vehicle programming tools for the most common automotive transponders. For unusual or high-security keys we will tell you up front whether the dealer or a specialty key cutter is the right path.
What areas do you cover for after-hours calls? +
Sioux Falls plus Brandon, Harrisburg, Tea, Dell Rapids, Garretson, Valley Springs, Sherman, Beaver Creek MN, Hills MN, and Luverne MN. Out-of-area calls are dispatched on request with the rate locked in before we roll.
