Our experienced locksmiths are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to help you regain access to your home quickly and safely.
Home lockouts are stressful situations that require immediate attention. You might be standing outside in the cold, rain, or heat, unable to access your home, family, pets, or essential belongings. Our emergency response team understands the urgency of these situations and provides rapid service to get you back inside your home as quickly as possible.
We use professional, non-destructive entry techniques whenever possible to avoid damaging your doors or locks. Our experienced locksmiths have the tools and expertise to open most residential doors without causing damage, saving you from expensive repairs.

When you call Pika Locksmith for a home lockout emergency, we dispatch a licensed, insured locksmith to your location immediately. Our response times are among the fastest in California, and we work efficiently to restore your access while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and security.
Common Home Lockout Scenarios We Handle
Lost keys are one of the most common reasons for home lockouts. Whether you've misplaced your keys at work, while running errands, or during a night out, we can help you regain access to your home quickly. Our locksmiths can open your door and, if needed, create new keys on-site or recommend rekeying services for enhanced security.
Keys locked inside your home is another frequent lockout situation. This often happens when you step outside briefly, perhaps to check the mail, take out the trash, or let the dog out, and the door closes behind you. Our professional locksmiths can quickly and safely unlock your door without damaging your locks or door frame.
Broken keys in locks require immediate attention to prevent further damage and restore access. When a key breaks off inside a lock, it can be challenging to remove without professional tools and expertise. Our locksmiths have specialized tools to extract broken keys safely and can often repair or replace the lock on the spot.
Malfunctioning locks can also cause lockout situations. Worn-out locks, damaged internal mechanisms, or weather-related issues can prevent your keys from working properly. Our locksmiths can diagnose lock problems, perform repairs when possible, or provide immediate replacement services to restore your security.
Deadbolt lockouts require specialized techniques and tools. Deadbolts are designed to be secure, which makes them more challenging to bypass. However, our experienced locksmiths have the knowledge and equipment to handle deadbolt lockouts efficiently while maintaining your door's security and integrity.
Non-Destructive Entry Techniques
At Pika Locksmith, we prioritize non-destructive entry methods whenever possible. Our skilled locksmiths use various professional techniques to unlock doors without causing damage, including lock picking, bump keys, and specialized bypass tools. These methods preserve your locks and doors while quickly restoring access.
Lock picking is a skilled technique that allows our locksmiths to manipulate the lock's internal mechanisms without using the original key. This method requires extensive training and experience, which our certified locksmiths possess. When successful, lock picking leaves no damage and allows your existing lock and key to continue working normally.
For certain lock types, we use specialized bypass tools that work with the lock's design to open it without damage. These professional tools are not available to the general public and require proper training to use effectively and safely. Our locksmiths are trained in the proper use of these tools for various lock brands and models.
In situations where non-destructive entry isn't possible due to lock design, damage, or security features, we'll discuss your options before proceeding. We may need to drill the lock or use other methods that require replacement. In these cases, we can provide immediate lock replacement services to restore both access and security.
Lock Replacement and Repair Services
Following a lockout, you may need lock replacement or repair services. If your lock is damaged, outdated, or compromised during the lockout process, our locksmiths can provide immediate replacement services. We carry a wide selection of quality residential locks and can install new locks on-site to restore your home's security immediately.
Lock replacement is often recommended for security reasons, especially if your keys were lost in an unsecured location or if you're concerned about unauthorized key duplication. New locks provide fresh security and peace of mind. We can install various lock types, including deadbolts, knob locks, smart locks, and keyless entry systems.
If your lock can be repaired rather than replaced, our locksmiths can perform on-site repairs to restore functionality. Common repairs include fixing stuck or jammed mechanisms, replacing worn components, lubricating locks, and adjusting strike plates. We'll assess your lock's condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
For enhanced security, we offer rekeying services that change your lock's internal mechanism without replacing the entire lock. Rekeying is more cost-effective than replacement and provides the same security benefits by rendering old keys useless. This service is particularly valuable if you've lost keys or want to ensure previous residents or contractors no longer have access.
24/7 Emergency Availability
Home lockouts don't follow a schedule—they can happen at any time of day or night, on weekends, or during holidays. Pika Locksmith understands that you need immediate assistance, which is why our home lockout services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

When you call for a home lockout emergency, we dispatch the nearest available locksmith immediately, ensuring minimal wait times.

Our professional locksmiths work efficiently to restore your access while maintaining a calm, reassuring demeanor. We'll keep you informed of our arrival time and work quickly once on-site to get you back inside your home.
All our emergency locksmiths are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, providing you with confidence and protection.

Additional Services for Homeowners
Beyond emergency lockout services, Pika Locksmith provides comprehensive residential locksmith services to help prevent future lockouts and enhance your home security. We offer key duplication services, allowing you to create spare keys for family members or trusted neighbors. Having spare keys in secure locations can help prevent future lockout situations.
Smart lock installation is becoming increasingly popular among homeowners who want enhanced security and convenience. Smart locks offer features like keyless entry, remote access control, activity logs, and integration with home automation systems. Our locksmiths can help you select and install smart locks that meet your security needs and lifestyle preferences.
Master key systems are ideal for homeowners with multiple properties or complex access needs. These systems allow you to use one master key for all locks while maintaining individual keys for specific doors. We can design and implement master key systems that provide convenience without compromising security.
Security assessments help identify vulnerabilities in your home's locking systems. Our locksmiths can evaluate all entry points, recommend security upgrades, and provide comprehensive security solutions tailored to your property. Regular security assessments are valuable for maintaining and improving your home's protection.
