Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you reach me for a home lockout in Garden City Park?
In most cases, we can have a trained technician at your door within 30 minutes or less, depending on current location and traffic. Garden City Park is a core service area for us, so we are not routing calls through a distant dispatch hub — our mobile units are positioned to serve Nassau County efficiently. When you call 516-774-5656, we will give you an honest estimated arrival time based on where we actually are at that moment.
Do you handle mortise locks, or only standard deadbolts and door knobs?
Mortise locks are one of our primary specialties. These locks are common in older Garden City Park homes and multi-family buildings, and they require a different approach than a standard deadbolt or door knob lock. Our technicians carry the specific tools and have the hands-on experience needed to open, service, rekey, and replace mortise lock units without unnecessary damage to the door edge or internal mechanism.
Will you damage my door to get me back inside?
Our first objective is always a damage-free entry. We assess the specific lock — its type, condition, and how it failed — before choosing any method. In the majority of residential lockout calls, a skilled non-destructive technique resolves the situation without leaving any mark on the door or hardware. In rare cases where the lock itself is broken or has been compromised, we will tell you before proceeding and explain your options, including on-the-spot replacement if needed.
I am a renter, not the homeowner — can you still help me?
Yes. We assist both homeowners and renters. Before we begin any work, we verify that the person requesting service has a legitimate right to access the property. For renters, this typically means showing a lease agreement, a piece of mail addressed to the unit, or a photo ID matching the unit address. This step protects you and ensures the service is performed responsibly. If you are unsure what documentation to have ready, just mention it when you call and we will walk you through it.
What determines the final price for a home lockout service call?
Several factors shape the quote: the type and complexity of your lock (a mortise lock or a multi-point system typically involves more work than a standard door knob lock), the time of day the call comes in, travel distance from our current position to your address, and whether any parts such as a new cylinder or hardware are needed. We confirm an exact price with you before any work begins — there are no hidden fees added afterward.
Do you offer any services beyond just unlocking the door?
Absolutely. Once you are back inside, many customers take the opportunity to address what led to the lockout or to improve their overall door security. On the same visit, we can rekey your existing locks so old copies no longer work, replace a worn or outdated cylinder, upgrade a door knob lock to a higher-security deadbolt, or install a quality lockbox for spare key storage. If you are interested in a full residential security review — checking all entry points including back doors and garage side doors — we can do that as well.
