What are residential lockouts?

Residential lockouts cover all lockout cases that can happen to homeowners. A lockout includes such situations when someone is not able to get inside their property: to open a front door or back door of a house, or when you go out for a few minutes and then it appears that you have left your door keys inside, or when you have forgotten your safe code or you are struggling to open the lock of your cabinet or of a  drawer. Such situations cause a lot of stress and panic, which is why it is important to have a reliable locksmith in your area who is able to provide quick and immediate help at any time of the day and night.

Reasons why home lockouts may happen

At Filocks we deal with domestic lockouts pretty often: our neighbors from Brighton, Hove, Crawley and from nearby suburbs regularly call us when they find themselves locked out. Based on our experience we have compiled this list of the most typical cases of why people get locked out to help you prevent these situations in future:

  • Old and worn-out locks. Like any mechanism, locks become older and worn out with time. Their parts become loose and no longer match each other perfectly well, like they do in new locks. People often forget to run regular maintenance works on their doors and as a result, they become faulty, and can break down at the most inconvenient moment.
    How to prevent: at Fitloks we recommend carrying out regular inspections and do necessary maintenance works to keep your locks functioning properly
  • Lost keys. Pretty often people may lose their keys in different places or they simply forget them somewhere.
    How to prevent your keys from getting lost: use a keychain or lanyard. Designate a specific spot in your home where you always keep all your keys. Keep a spare key: have a secure location with a spare key that you will be able to access in case you lose them.
  • Broken keys. A key may break down if you apply too much force to it. When trying to open an old rusty rock people may use all their force to turn the key in the keyhole, which inevitably leads to key damage.
    How to prevent: We recommend avoiding applying too much force. If the lock is not working it is better to call for a professional locksmith. These technicians always have special tools and equipment to open any type of lock with least possible damage.
