Getting locked out of your own home is stressful at any time, but it feels even worse when it happens late at night. That was the case for a customer who had accidentally left their keys inside, leaving them stranded in the dark. Luckily, they called Active Lock Centre, and we were able to respond quickly and get them back inside safely.
Assessing the Lockout Situation
When we arrived, the only light came from a torch and the glow of nearby street lamps. In these conditions, it is important to stay calm and methodical.
After a quick assessment, we determined the best way to gain entry would be a non-destructive method. This ensures the lock and door remain intact, saving the customer from additional repair or replacement costs.
