Stay calm. Most home lockouts are resolved within 30 minutes.
Check Every Door & Window
Walk around your entire home and check every entry point — back door, garage door, side door, and ground-floor windows. It's common to leave one unlocked without realizing it.
Call a Family Member or Roommate
Does anyone else have a key to your home? A spouse, family member, roommate, or trusted neighbor? This is the fastest and cheapest solution if someone can come quickly.
Check With Your Landlord or Property Manager
If you rent, your landlord or property management company likely has a master key. Call them first — many have 24-hour emergency lines for exactly this situation.
Do NOT Try to Force Entry
Trying to kick in a door, use a credit card, or remove a window screen can damage your home and potentially trigger a neighbor to call the police. It's also rarely successful on modern locks.
