FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How fast will a locksmith arrive?
Average arrival time for the service area is under 30 minutes for emergencies. This can vary based on location.
What do I need for a lockout?
For lockouts you will need to provide some proof of residence for the unit that you need access to.
This means a Photo I.D. and something with your name and address. Examples include a recent Con Edison or Internet Bill (Digital Statements Accepted).
Will my lock be broken?
Most standard security locks can be picked open without any damage.
If you locked your keys inside or have a spare set they will still work normally after the lockout. If you need new replacement keys those can be provided.
Some more rare high security locks that can not be picked would need to be drilled and repaired.
