Locked Out of Your Home? Here’s What You Should Do Immediately

Stay Calm and Assess the Situation

Getting locked out of your home is stressful, but you’re not alone. It happens every day across the Sunshine Coast. The first step is to stay calm and think clearly.
Check every door and window to make sure there’s no safe way back in. Sometimes a back door or side gate might be open.

Avoid trying to force your way inside — this can cause more damage than the cost of calling a professional.

Don’t Break a Window — Call a Local Locksmith

Trying to smash a window or pick a lock yourself might seem like a quick fix, but it’s dangerous, expensive, and often unsuccessful.
The safest option is to contact a licensed locksmith near you.

Jarrah Locksmith offers emergency lockout services across the Sunshine Coast and can get you back inside quickly — often without any damage at all.

Can a Locksmith Open My Door Without Replacing the Lock?

Yes. In most cases, we can unlock your door without drilling or replacing the lock.
We use professional tools and techniques to gain entry safely and quickly. Replacing the lock is usually a last resort — and only necessary if the lock is damaged or faulty.

Lost Your Keys? Consider Rekeying After the Lockout

If your keys are lost or stolen, we recommend rekeying your locks immediately after the lockout.
This ensures anyone who finds your old keys won’t be able to use them to re-enter your home.

We can rekey or replace your locks on the spot, saving you time and providing peace of mind.

How to Avoid Getting Locked Out Again

While lockouts can happen to anyone, there are a few steps you can take to prevent them in the future:

• Keep a spare key with someone you trust nearby

• Install a key safe in a hidden location

• Consider a smart lock with keypad access

• Make a routine to double-check your keys before leaving

We also offer advice on upgrading to modern, secure entry options.
