Our Solution: PRIORITY EMERGENCY - we dispatch immediately for life-safety situations. Our technicians can unlock most vehicles in 2-5 minutes using professional lockout tools. We prioritize these calls and often arrive in 10-15 minutes. Always call 911 first if a child or pet is in distress, then call us for fast access.

The Problem: This is especially common in Lancaster due to the area's industrial facilities and local conditions.

Our Solution: Sometimes locks jam from dirt, weather, or mechanical failure. We assess whether the lock can be fixed on-site or needs replacement. For rentals, we can coordinate with your landlord.

Lancaster Specific Context: In Lancaster's moderate business environment, this situation occurs frequently.
6. Electronic lock battery died, can't get into house
The Problem: This is especially common in Lancaster due to the area's retail centers and local conditions.
Our Solution: Most electronic locks have emergency backup methods. We know the override procedures for all major brands (Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, August). If override doesn't work, we can gain entry non-destructively, replace batteries, and restore operation. We carry common lock batteries and can upgrade to longer-lasting batteries.
