24/7 lockout help
24-hour emergency lockout service in Atlanta for car, home, and business.
Lockouts do not check the clock. They happen at 2 a.m., on Thanksgiving, in the rain, with a sleeping kid in the car. We are built for exactly that. A real person answers (404) 824-3777 every hour of every day, takes your location, quotes the job with the after-hours fee included, and sends the nearest tech while you are still on the line. No voicemail, no callback queue.
The "emergency surcharge" surprise when the tech arrives is exactly the trick we refuse to run. The number you hear on the phone is the number you pay.
If a child or pet is inside the car
If a child or pet is locked in a vehicle and the weather is dangerous, call 911 first. Emergency services can break a window without legal risk and have the fastest response time. Call us too, and we will be on the way.
For a safe lockout where no one is at immediate risk, we are typically the faster and cheaper option than calling fire or police. We open most vehicle doors in minutes with no damage to paint, glass, or weather seals.
Where to wait while we come to you
If you are locked out after dark or somewhere unfamiliar, wait somewhere lit and, if possible, inside a nearby open business. We give you a real arrival window when you call so you know exactly how long to sit tight. Most Atlanta-area calls are on site within 15 to 20 minutes; Brookhaven, Buckhead, and Chamblee are usually 10 to 15.
If you are in a parking deck, tell us the level and the cross streets. Cell signal drops in concrete and we do not want to circle looking for you.
Call us for an emergency lockout when:
- Car lockout in a deck, lot, or roadside, day or night.
- Home lockout when you are stuck outside, especially after dark.
- Business lockout before a shift or after closing.
- Keys locked in with a child, a pet, or the car running.
- A lock failure left a door that will not open.
- You are in an unfamiliar area and need help fast.
What we open
Car, home, and business lockouts, any hour.
An emergency lockout is a lockout with a clock on it. We handle all three types the same way: the right tools, the right technique for the lock, and the price confirmed before we start.
Car lockouts
Professional automotive tools that open the door without touching paint, glass, or weather seals.
Business lockouts
Storefronts, offices, and back doors opened without wrecking commercial hardware.
Stuck or failed locks
Lock will not turn, bolt will not retract. We diagnose and fix it so you can get through the door.

One call, one visit, back inside.

FAQ
Questions before you call.
These answers cover what we hear most. A quick call is still the fastest way to confirm the details for your exact situation.
Are you actually open at 3 a.m.?
Yes. A person answers (404) 824-3777 every hour of every day, holidays included. We dispatch a real van, not a callback the next morning.
My child is locked in the car. What do I do?
Call 911 first if the child or a pet is at risk, especially in heat. Then call us. For a safe lockout we are typically fast, but a child in a hot car is a 911 situation first.
How much is an emergency after-hours lockout?
Standard lockout price plus a modest after-hours fee for overnight and holiday calls. We quote the full total before dispatching, so there are no surprises when we arrive.
Will a late-night entry damage my lock?
No more than a daytime one. We use the same non-destructive techniques any hour. The lock keeps working after we open it, in almost every case.
