Emergency Lockout Service in Minneapolis
Locked out of your home, business, or car? We open it without drilling whenever possible, around the clock.
Standing outside your own front door at midnight is nobody's plan. Our Minneapolis lockout team answers around the clock and reaches most calls quickly, with the picks, bypass tools, and decoding equipment to open the vast majority of locks without damage. Drilling is a last resort, and we will tell you before it comes to that.
Lockouts we handle
- House and apartment lockouts, including high-security deadbolts
- Storefront and office doors, panic hardware, and mailboxes
- Car lockouts, including keys locked in the trunk
- Broken keys extracted from jammed cylinders
For everyone's protection we verify that you have a right to enter before opening anything — please have ID or proof of residency ready. The price is confirmed on the phone before a technician heads your way anywhere in Minneapolis, MN.

Emergency Lockout Service — Common Questions
My lock freezes solid every Minneapolis January — is there a permanent fix?
Often, yes. Moisture inside the cylinder is what freezes, so we clean out old grease, re-lubricate with a low-temperature graphite-based product, and check the weatherstripping that lets damp air reach the lock. For chronic offenders we install cylinders that tolerate hard freezes far better.
Can you service the original mortise locks in our 1920s Longfellow bungalow?
That is a specialty of ours — much of south Minneapolis housing stock still runs on original mortise hardware. We can rebuild and rekey the existing lockset to preserve the vintage look, or fit a modern deadbolt above it for real security without butchering the door.
Do you take lockout calls in St. Paul and the first-ring suburbs too?
We do. Beyond Minneapolis proper we regularly run calls to St. Paul, Richfield, Edina, and St. Louis Park along I-94, I-35W, and Highway 100. Winter weather can stretch drive times, so we quote an honest ETA that accounts for road conditions.
