Are emergency locksmiths available 24/7 in Texas?

Emergency lockout situations do not wait for business hours, and neither do our technicians. Whether it is 3 AM on a Tuesday or noon on Christmas Day, a licensed locksmith is available to help.
Will an emergency locksmith damage my door or lock?
Licensed emergency locksmiths use non-destructive entry techniques as the first approach. These include lock picking, bypass tools, and specialized auto entry tools that open doors without damage. Destructive entry is used only as a last resort when non-destructive methods are not possible, and the locksmith will discuss this with you first. The vast majority of lockouts are resolved without any damage.
What should I do if someone broke into my home?
First, call 911 if you suspect the intruder may still be present. Do not enter until police have cleared the property. Once safe, call an emergency locksmith to secure your home immediately. The locksmith will repair or replace damaged locks, install temporary security measures, and can upgrade your locks to higher security hardware. Document all damage with photos for your insurance claim.
How can I avoid emergency lockout situations?
Keep a spare key with a trusted neighbor or family member. Consider installing a keypad or smart lock that uses a code instead of a physical key. Avoid hiding keys under mats or flower pots where they are easily found. Have a duplicate car key made and keep it separate from your primary key. Some locksmiths offer key safe installation services for secure spare key storage outside your home.
