Our team at Standby Locksmith offers all types of lockout services including but not limited to safe lockout services, car lockout services, house lockout services, storage lockout services, bathroom and bedroom lockout services, business lockout services, cabinet and closet lockout services, and more. Since there are many different types of lockout services, the prices vary greatly, but as a general guideline: car lockout services start at $50, house lockout services start at $65, business lockout services start at $95, storage units start at $75, and interior lockouts start at $50. Prices also vary depending on the types of locks and types of doors, for example if it’s a glass door with a wafer lock (wafer locks can’t be picked because lock picking is moving pins, which wafer locks don’t have, also known as smart key locks), the service will cost far more than it would to pick a doorknob lock and open the door. Let us know your exact lockout needs, and we’ll provide an exact quote.
Many people simply don’t have the money to pay a locksmith to do the job and need to know how to unlock a door themselves. We’re happy to help.
How to unlock a storage unit yourself: to unlock a storage unit with a padlock or unlock any padlock, you can try picking the lock, if that doesn’t work, buy a large cutting tool or Dremel and cut the lock, but make sure you have proper protective gear for your hands, eyes, and face, as this can be very dangerous. You’ll also need a tool to hold the lock while you cut it without injuring yourself.
How to unlock a bedroom door yourself: most interior doorknobs have a tiny hole in the middle of the knob, so you can put a tiny screwdriver in the hole and push the latch and the doorknob will unlock. If it doesn’t have a hole and it’s only a doorknob, you can use a butter knife to push the latch, just be careful not to damage your door frame because the repair will cost more than a cheap bedroom lockout service in Apopka.
How to unlock a car yourself: If you’re going to try to unlock the car yourself, be very careful because breaking the window or bending the door by accident will be very expensive to repair, a lot more than getting a local locksmith to unlock a car. So proceed with caution if you still want to try this. Buy some air wedges and a long lockout stick, then put minimal air next to the car window, just enough to put the stick in without scratching the car. Grab the door handle with the stick, or if the car’s running push the window button, and unlock the car that way. Let out all the air in the air wedges before opening the door, so you don’t bend the door of the car. This is VERY important.
How to unlock a house yourself: if it’s just a doorknob you can do the butter knife trick, but if it’s a deadbolt lock, the only way to unlock it without risking serious and expensive damage, is to pick the lock. Watch some YouTube videos on how to pick a lock, and try it, you may be successful. Before trying, spray some Houdini lubricant inside the lock, it will greatly increase your likelihood of succeeding. It is not recommended to try to drill a lock yourself because you can damage the door or melt the metal inside the lock, resulting in expensive repairs or fees to unlock the door now that the lock is melted.
How to unlock a commercial lock yourself: Commercial locks are high security so you can try to unlock the door by picking the lock, but if that doesn’t work, you’ll have to call an Apopka commercial locksmith to unlock the door now.
A professional locksmith can unlock doors without causing damage. In the rare case that a lock needs to be drilled to unlock, we always let you know upfront, obtain your consent, and then go ahead, but in most cases, we can pick a house lock to open the door, and car lockouts should NEVER cause damage.
