Tell dispatch

Three details that help us find you.

One clear description helps dispatch assess the right work and current availability.

01

Your exact location

Street address, unit or garage level, nearest entrance and a callback number.

02

What happened

Is the key inside, lost or broken? Is the door stuck, damaged or unable to latch?

03

What is safe now

Tell us if the opening is unsecured, if anyone is inside and who can authorize entry or repair.

Call dispatch (512) 777-0021

01 / Access

Home, vehicle or workplaceGet inside with authorization.

Opening a door and changing future access are different jobs. Start with what is locked and where the key is.

For a home or apartment, tell us if a working key is inside, missing or stuck. Have identification or other proof of permission ready. If your documents are inside, mention that on the call.

For a vehicle, give the year, make, model and parking location. A key locked in the cabin calls for a different plan from an all-keys-lost replacement. An office needs an authorized business contact and the affected door.

Key inside or missing?

Say which one. Entry alone will not replace a lost key.

Who can approve entry?

The property owner, resident, driver or authorized business contact should be reachable.

Safe meeting point

For a garage or large building, name the entrance, level and nearby landmark.

02 / Door and lock damage

An opening that will not closeSecure the opening first.

A damaged cylinder, broken key and split frame do not take the same repair.

Describe whether the latch catches and whether the door can be secured at all. A new cylinder will not repair damaged material around the strike. The immediate securing work may differ from a later full repair.

If a key broke in the lock, the cause matters as much as extracting it. If a missing key should stop working, ask about rekeying after access is restored. If damage followed a suspected crime, follow the authorities’ instructions before disturbing the opening.

Secure today

Tell dispatch whether the opening is exposed and what still closes.

Approve any change

Ask for the revised work and price before extra parts or repair steps begin.

Test the result

Check the door closes, latches and opens as intended before handoff.

Before you call.

Dispatch answers 24/7. Call with your location and problem to confirm current technician availability and an arrival estimate.

What if my key is locked inside the car?

Give your exact parking location and the vehicle year, make and model. Tell dispatch whether the key is in the cabin or trunk. If the key is missing, ask about replacement rather than entry alone.

Office lockout help
Can you help if the door will not secure?
