Common commercial lockout situations we handle
Opening manager locked out before business opens
You’re the opening manager. You arrived early to open the store or office. You realize you don’t have the keys, or they’re not working, or you grabbed the wrong set. Staff is arriving. Customers are coming. You need to open NOW.
We prioritize business opening emergencies. Every minute you’re closed costs money. Call us and we will dispatch immediately.
Keys locked inside the business
You stepped outside for a delivery, to take trash out, or to move your car. The door closed behind you and locked. Your keys are inside. The business is locked. You can’t get back in.
This happens more often than you’d think. We unlock quickly and get your business running again.
Lost or misplaced office keys
You got to work and your keys aren’t where they should be. Not in your pocket, not in your bag, not in your car. You have no idea where they are and you need to get into your office.
We unlock the door and can discuss rekeying services immediately so lost keys don’t compromise your security. Check our commercial locksmith services for full business security.
Employee left with the only key
Your closing employee locked up last night and took the only working key with them. They’re not answering their phones. Or they called in sick. Or they quit. And you need to open your business.
Call us. We verify business ownership and get you inside fast.
Key broke in the lock
You’re trying to unlock the door and your key snaps off inside the lock. Half the key is in your hand, half is stuck in the cylinder. The door is locked and you can’t turn it.
We extract broken keys and unlock the door. If the lock is damaged, we can replace it on site.
Electronic access system failed
Your keycard reader stopped working. Your keypad isn’t accepting codes. Your electronic lock system failed overnight. Employees can’t access the building. You’re locked out.
We can bypass electronic systems mechanically to get you inside, then help troubleshoot or replace the system.
Former employee still has keys
An employee left on bad terms. Or you suspect they might still have keys. You need to get in, but you also need to secure the business immediately.
We unlock and can rekey on the spot so old keys no longer work. Immediate security restoration.
Locked out of specific office suite in building
You’re in a multi tenant building. You can access the building, but you’re locked out of your specific suite. Building management isn’t available or doesn’t have a spare for your unit.
We unlock office suites in Philadelphia commercial buildings constantly. We coordinate with building security when needed.
Why business lockouts cost more than waiting
Every minute your business is closed when it should be open, you’re losing money.
Retail store: Lost sales, customers going to competitors, reputation damage.
Restaurant: Missed breakfast or lunch service, staff standing idle, food waste.
Office: Employees can’t work, clients can’t meet with you, productivity lost.
Medical or professional office: Appointments cancelled, patients rescheduled, revenue lost.
A $200 emergency lockout service that gets you open in 30 minutes is cheaper than losing $1,000+ in business revenue. It’s not an expense, it’s damage control.

How much does commercial lockout service cost in Philadelphia?
Standard commercial lockout during business hours
Most offices and retail businesses: $150 to $250 for straightforward lockouts during weekday business hours.
Commercial locks are often more complex than residential. Buildings may have access protocols. The urgency is higher. Pricing reflects that.
After hours commercial lockout
Nights, early mornings, weekends, holidays: $200 to $350 for most businesses.
After hours commercial calls require immediate technician availability. The premium covers that and the urgency of getting your business operational.
Emergency opening service
You’re supposed to open in 15 minutes and you’re locked out? Emergency priority dispatch may add $50 to $75.
We drop everything, dispatch immediately, and get you open before you lose significant business.
Complex commercial systems
High security locks, electronic access systems, multi-door lockouts, or buildings with complicated access: $250 to $450+.
These require specialized tools, coordination with building management, or more time to unlock safely.
Why it’s worth every dollar
Compare our service cost to your alternatives:
Lost business revenue: One hour closed during peak time could cost $500 to $5,000+ depending on your business.

Damaged electronic systems: $1,000+ to replace access control systems damaged by improper entry.
