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.
