It happens to everyone eventually: the door closes behind you, the keys are on the kitchen counter, and nobody else with a key is nearby.
Ben's Locksmith helps Schaumburg residents get back into their homes with careful entry methods designed to avoid damage to the door, frame or lock.
Common problems we help with
- Keys left inside after the door auto-locked
- Lost house keys while out running errands
- A key that broke off in the lock
- A smart lock or keypad with a dead battery or forgotten code
How Ben's Locksmith can help
Once we arrive, we'll confirm that you live at the address, usually with an ID or other documentation, and then work on getting you inside.
If you've lost your keys and aren't sure where they ended up, we can also rekey the lock while we're there so the lost key won't work.
House Lockout FAQs
What if my ID is locked inside?
Let us know when you call. Once we open the door, you can show us ID or other proof of residence from inside before we leave.
Should I just break a window?
We'd recommend against it. A window repair usually costs more than a lockout call and leaves your home less secure until it's fixed.
