Emergencies don't follow a schedule
Lock problems have a habit of turning up at awkward times:
- On Christmas Eve, while you're out visiting family
- Late on New Year's Eve
- On a quiet Sunday morning
- Coming home from a long weekend away
Why holidays bring more lock problems
Travel, house sitters, guests with spare keys and late nights all add risk. Keys get lost in luggage, borrowed and not returned, or left behind in a rush.
What to expect from a holiday call
We're open all day, every day, including holidays, and holiday calls are charged at the same rate as any other day. You'll get a quote before a technician is sent, and the visit works the same as any other: ID check, careful entry and a clear invoice.
Prepare before you travel
- Leave a spare key with someone you trust, not under the mat
- Check that deadbolts work smoothly and fully extend
- Replace batteries in smart locks and key fobs
- Rekey after a house sitter or guest has had a key, if you're unsure it came back
Choosing a locksmith on a holiday
The same rules apply as on any day: a named local business, a quote first and an ID check. See our guide to checking a locksmith, or call 323-803-1727.
