Locked out? Oh no! First of all, don’t want any harm to be done to your door or lock. A qualified locksmith knows how to open a door for you.
Lock Picking
Picking the lock means using a tension wrench and pick to manipulate the individual pins inside the lock’s cylinder. The lock can be opened without leaving a trace, and it works best with standard pin tumbler locks.
Lock Bumping
A bump key is used on certain types of locks and is cut to a specific pattern, it is then struck sharply to allow the pins to fall into place one by one, this method is very quick and leaves no damage to the lock or door.
Decoding and Manipulation
These locks can also be decoded by a locksmith using a scope (or other sights) or even by ‘feeling’ the lock to establish the correct combination. Examples of locks which can be opened in this way include high security cylinder locks or lever action locks.
Bypass Tools
Some locks will have a bypass point, for example a hidden reset slot, that can be used with a special bypass tool. These tools are designed to fit into the bypass point and allow access to the lock without having to use the keyway.
When Drilling Is Unavoidable
Drilling can be carried out by a locksmith through the lock door, at the exact point of the shear line. In many cases a replacement cylinder can be fitted to a door that has been locked out within a matter of minutes.
Before the Locksmith Arrives
Check every window and back door before calling the locksmith. Make sure you can provide the proof of address of the property.
