Damage-Free Methods
Our certified technicians use professional, non-destructive techniques to open home, business and vehicle locks — protecting the hardware and the door itself.
Specialized decoding tools that enter the cylinder and align the internal pins to open the lock cleanly — used most often on vehicles.
A tension wrench applies light pressure while a pick lifts each pin one by one until the cylinder turns. The classic locksmith method.
For car lockouts: an air wedge creates a small gap, then a long-reach tool releases the lock, handle or button from inside the cabin.
Only when no other method works do we drill the cylinder to open it, then replace the lock afterward — a true last resort, agreed with you first.
We also handle broken and stuck key extraction — safely removing keys snapped or jammed inside a lock or ignition. See broken key extraction and emergency ignition key extraction.
