Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about

Locked out of a house or room

How can I regain access if I'm locked out of my house or room?
Diagonal Arrow icon

If you find yourself locked out, first check if there's an alternate entry point or a spare key with a trusted neighbor or friend. You can also attempt to gently manipulate the lock using simple tools like a credit card or a thin piece of plastic, but be cautious not to damage the lock. If these DIY methods fail, consider using the Home+ app to connect with professional locksmiths who can swiftly assist you in regaining access.

What should I do if I accidentally lock myself out?
Diagonal Arrow icon

Don't panic! Begin by double-checking all potential entry points, such as windows and back doors. If none are accessible, see if a family member or roommate can bring a spare key. In case these options aren't available, try using the Home+ app to connect with skilled locksmiths who specialize in resolving lockout situations promptly and efficiently.

Can I unlock a door if I've left my keys inside?
Diagonal Arrow icon

Absolutely! Before attempting any DIY solutions, assess if any windows or secondary entrances are open. If not, you could try using a tension wrench and a pick to manipulate the lock, but only if you're comfortable with lock picking techniques. For a quicker and more reliable solution, consider utilizing the Home+ app to swiftly connect with professional locksmiths who possess the expertise to unlock the door without causing damage.
