How much do house lockout services in Clermont cost?
So house lockout prices very much depend on what types of locks are locked, how many of them we need to unlock, and in some cases, what type of door it is. For example, if it’s a door with glass, drilling the lock might not be an option because we don’t want to break it, so we might need to pick the lock even if it takes hours. We always do our best to keep the job cheap for you, and to pick the lock so that you don’t need to replace the lock when we’re done, so you can save that money too. Generally, unless you have something unusual going on, or it’s a storm door, house lockout prices in Clermont are starting at $75 for simple doorknobs and going up to $300 max in most cases although there are exceptions. Our locksmiths will always provide you with an exact price before doing the service.
Does getting the house unlocked damage the locks?
99% of the time, getting the house unlocked doesn’t damage the locks. We always do our best to pick the locks, lock picking does not damage the locks, and a skilled locksmith like ours, can pick 99% of locks. For most doorknob only lockouts, the locksmith doesn’t even have to try to pick the lock, he/she can just push the latch in, which also doesn’t cause any damage if done correctly.
Can you unlock the door yourself?
Sometimes you can. While it’s not recommended to attempt to drill the lock yourself as this can cause expensive damage, you can always try picking the lock yourself. If it’s only the doorknob that’s locked, you can try moving the latch in with a credit card or butterknife, and the door might open just from that. If it’s an interior door, it’s likely easier. Many interior doorknobs have a tiny hole in the middle, just put a small screwdriver in the hole and try to press the latch that way and then you can unlock the interior door yourself and save the cost of paying a locksmith to do it for you.
