Locked out? Start with a clear call.
Your location, lock type and working keys help us plan the next step. Say whether you are outside a home, vehicle or business and whether a key has snapped in the lock. Stay somewhere safe while you call. If someone is in immediate danger, contact emergency services first. Your locksmith can confirm current availability and explain what information or proof of access authority is needed.
Keep the door out of the argument.
Your door and frame are worth protecting while the problem is assessed. Prying or kicking can turn a lockout into a repair job. Tell the technician what you have already tried and whether the key still turns. The appropriate entry method depends on your hardware and its condition. You should hear the proposed approach and cost before work begins, including any reason a part may need replacement.
What happens once you are inside?
You need more than an open door if the lock is damaged or your keys are missing. Ask the technician to test the latch and strike, then explain whether your lock can stay in use. A lost key may call for a separate rekey decision. Before your visit ends, check that the door closes, locks and opens with your working key. Discuss a practical spare-key plan for your next busy day.
Good information.
Stronger decisions.
Your security plan starts with good news. Burglary has fallen for decades. The FBI reports that the US burglary rate reported to police fell from 731.7 per 100,000 people in 2006 to 193.6 in 2025, about 74% lower (calc). You can focus on the doors, keys and daily habits within your control.
| Entry method | Share of reported burglaries, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Forcible entry | 53.4% (2025) |
| Unlawful entry where no force is used | 39.7% (2025) |
| Attempted forcible entry | 6.9% (2025) |

Your simple checks still matter. Close your doors, use working locks and know who can open them. The FBI no-force category does not tell you whether someone used a door, a window or an existing key. You can review your own access without assuming a cause the data does not establish.
Your lockout is not a reason to force your door. Seattle Police identifies the strike plate as a common weak point. Ask for your latch, bolt and frame to be checked before you rely on them again.

I accidentally locked my keys in my car at the car wash. Tom came and was super friendly and nice, had it opened within minutes. Thank you again Tom for your helpRead on Google ↗
I locked myself out of the house after the garage did not open. Called Ameristar and the technician Tom responded quickly. He knew my dog was inside, kept me calm, explored a variety of options. He was so professional and I felt at ease. He solved the problem efficiently and even found the problem with our garage door opener. It was the positive experience I needed after a rough day. I could not have asked for a better technician. Thank you!!Read on Google ↗

Tom really knew his stuff! I was locked outside of my house for a solid hour before I figured I should call. As soon as I did, he was there almost immediately and I was so grateful I called. Will call again, but hopefully I won’t need to 😅Read on Google ↗
