How Do Locksmiths Fix Lockouts?
Professional locksmiths use specialized tools and techniques to unlock doors without causing damage. Here’s how:
- Lock Picking
Most locksmiths are skilled in non-destructive entry methods like lock picking. With professional tools like tension wrenches and lock picks, they carefully manipulate the internal pins of a lock to unlock it without breaking it. - Bump Key
A bump key is a special key that locksmiths can use to quickly unlock pin tumbler locks. This method is quick and minimizes damage to the lock mechanism. - Bypassing Electronic Locks
Many homes and businesses use electronic locks, keypads or smart locks. Locksmiths are trained to reset or override these systems safely and get you back in without damaging the lock or door. - Car Lockout Solutions
If you’re locked out of your car, a professional locksmith can use slim jims or air wedge tools to safely unlock the door. For newer vehicles with transponder keys or keyless entry systems, locksmiths use advanced programming tools to get you back in.
Why Call a Professional Locksmith
Many people try to fix it themselves with credit cards or coat hangers. But these methods damage the lock or door and cost you money in repairs. Professional locksmiths like Locksmiths of Colorado Springs have the knowledge and tools to fix lockouts quickly and without damage.
