Emergency Locksmith Services – What to Do When You’re Locked Out

Getting locked out is one of the most frustrating and stressful situations anyone can face. Whether you’ve lost your keys, your lock has failed, or the door slammed shut behind you, you need help — and you need it fast.

At Jarrah Locksmith, we specialize in emergency locksmith services that are quick, affordable, and reliable. Here's what to do if you ever find yourself locked out, and how we can help.

1. Stay Calm and Check All Entry Points
First, take a deep breath and double-check every possible way in. Is there a back door, open window, or unlocked garage entrance? Avoid forcing anything — you don’t want to cause damage that could cost even more to fix.

2. Don’t Try to Pick the Lock Yourself
It might be tempting to try unlocking the door with a credit card or hairpin, but that often makes things worse. You could damage the lock or door frame, turning a simple fix into a costly repair.

3. Call a Local Emergency Locksmith
This is where Jarrah Locksmith comes in. We’re based right here on the Sunshine Coast and can usually arrive within 30–60 minutes. Our mobile service is fully equipped to handle:

• Home and apartment lockouts

• Office and commercial lockouts

• Car lockouts (keys locked inside)

• Broken key extractions

• Jammed or damaged locks

We work quickly and with care, always aiming to get you back inside without damaging your property.

4. Be Ready to Confirm Ownership
For your safety and ours, we may ask for ID or proof that you live at or own the property or vehicle. This is a standard security procedure to ensure we’re helping the right person.

5. Take Preventive Measures for the Future
Once you're back inside, consider taking steps to avoid future lockouts. We can help with:

• Spare key cutting

• Key safes

• Digital keyless locks

• Re-keying to match new keys

These small changes can save you time, money, and stress down the line.
