Locked out in Milwaukee? Start here
Call or text us first, and tell us where you are and what is locked: a house, an apartment, a car, an office, or a safe. While you wait, stay somewhere safe and warm and keep your phone charged, so we can reach you when we are close. Once we arrive, most homes and cars open in a few minutes.
If a lock is stiff or frozen, do not force the key. A bent or broken key makes the job longer, and a broken piece has to come out before a new key can go in. Call us instead.
What we handle as an emergency in Milwaukee
- House and apartment lockouts. The door closed with the keys inside, or the key will not turn.

Lockouts in a Milwaukee winter
In January a car lockout is more than an inconvenience. Cold weather drains phone batteries fast, and many lockouts happen in parking lots and driveways with no place to wait. Smart locks and keypads run on batteries too, and deep cold drains them sooner. Tell us if you are waiting outside, and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Why we ask for documents
Anyone can say a door is theirs. Before we open a home, a car, or a business, we ask for a photo ID and something that ties you to it: a lease, a utility bill, mail with the address, a title, or a registration. If the papers are inside, we open the door and check them before we leave. Short answers to other common questions are on our FAQ page.
