How Fast Can a Locksmith Get to My House?

About 15 minutes on average, day or night. Technicians are stationed across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, so the nearest one is dispatched as soon as you call. We give you an arrival estimate on the phone.

Will You Damage My Door or Lock?

In most cases, no. Our technicians use non-destructive entry: picking or bypassing the lock, or working the latch, so the lock keeps working afterward. Drilling is the last resort — needed on some high-security cylinders or broken locks — and we tell you before we do it, along with the cost of the replacement.

What Should I Do While I Wait?

Don't force a window or kick the door — a $49 lockout can turn into a frame repair costing several hundred dollars.
Have ID ready — we confirm that you live at the address before we open the door.
Child, pet or stove inside? Tell us on the phone so we prioritize the call. If someone is in danger, call 911 first.

Apartment and Condo Lockouts

Apartment and condo lockouts work the same way, with one extra step: in many buildings the front desk or management has to let us into the building or the floor. Tell us your building name on the phone and we coordinate with the desk. If your unit door has a high-security or multipoint lock, the price is $120–$250.

Locked Out Because a Key Is Lost or Broken?

Once you are inside, we can make sure the lost key no longer works. Our technician can rekey the lock on the same visit from $39 per cylinder, or replace a broken lock. Locked out of your car instead? See our car lockout service.

House Lockout Questions

Do you charge more to open a locked house at night?

No. At US Locksmith a house or apartment lockout on a standard lock costs $49–$89 plus a $29 service call at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. You get the price on the phone before we dispatch.

Will the locksmith ask for proof that I live there?

Yes. Before opening the door we check ID with your address, or a lease or utility bill once inside. It protects you: a locksmith should never open a home for someone who cannot show they live there.

Can a locksmith open my apartment door if building management is closed?

Usually, yes. We can open the unit door itself; the only question is getting into the building. Many buildings have a 24-hour desk or security. Tell us the building name and we coordinate access.

What if my house key broke off inside the lock?

We extract the broken piece, open the door and, if the lock is undamaged, cut you a new key or rekey the lock on the spot. Most broken-key lockouts are solved in one visit without new hardware.

Do you open doors with smart locks or keypads?

Yes. Most smart locks have a mechanical key override, which we open like any other lock. If the battery died, we can often power the lock from outside. We never force a smart lock if a non-destructive option exists.
