Call (833) 713-2331 and we’ll get someone headed your way.
What Our Emergency Locksmith Service Includes
Emergency locksmith work in Orlando covers more than just unlocking a door. Here’s what we actually handle when you call us in a bind.
24/7 Emergency Lockout
A lockout means you’re standing outside your home, car, or office with no way in. We respond to Orlando lockout calls around the clock, whether it’s a deadbolt that won’t turn, a misplaced key, or a lock that was damaged in an attempted break-in. Our first move is always non-destructive entry: we pick the lock if possible, and only drill if the cylinder is already compromised. You get back inside, then we repair or replace whatever needs it.
Broken Key Extraction
Keys snap inside locks more often than people expect, usually from worn-down metal, extreme heat in Florida summers, or forcing a key that wasn’t fully inserted. A broken key fragment left in a Kwikset or Baldwin cylinder can jam the lock entirely and make the problem worse the longer it sits. We extract the piece with precision tools that don’t scar the plug, then assess whether the key broke from age or from a failing lock. In many cases we can cut a fresh key on the spot and the lock keeps working.
Safe Opening
A safe that won’t open, whether it’s a dead battery in a digital keypad, a jammed bolt, or a lost combination, becomes an emergency when sensitive items or important documents are locked inside. We open residential and small commercial safes without destroying the container whenever the mechanism allows, and we can reset or replace electronic keypads. High-security brands like Medeco and Abloy appear in safes too, and we have the tools and understanding to handle their locking mechanisms properly.
Eviction Lock Change
Landlords and property managers in Orlando call us for same-day lock changes after a tenant vacates, and for good reason: you cannot prove who still has keys if you don’t. We rekey or replace locks on the spot, put all the exterior doors on a single key if that’s more practical for the next tenant, and document the work. Whether the property has basic Kwikset hardware or higher-end Baldwin deadbolts, we make sure the new resident is the only one with access.
House Lockout
Most residential lockouts happen during ordinary days: groceries in the trunk, kids inside, the front door clicked shut behind you. Our house lockout service gets you back in without wrecking your door or your lock. We work with every residential brand Orlando homes actually have, including Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, and Baldwin, so whatever is on your door, the technician in the van knows its mechanism. After entry, we’ll tell you honestly if the lock is fine or if the lockout exposed a weakness worth fixing.
Lock Picking
Lock picking is the quiet skill behind most emergency entry work, and it’s the reason we enter so many homes without boring out a cylinder and leaving a mess. We pick common residential locks, but we also work on higher-security hardware like Mul-T-Lock and Sargent, which require a more refined touch and a deeper understanding of pin systems. The job goes: pick to enter, then repair or replace only what actually failed. You pay for the fix, not for damage we caused getting in.

Brands We Service for Emergency Locksmith
In emergency work, the lock’s brand determines everything about the fix, what tools we use, what parts we stock, what replacement cylinder will actually fit. A technician who only knows Kwikset is going to struggle the moment a Medeco or Baldwin lock appears. We service Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy, eight distinct lock ecosystems that each have their own engineering. That means when we arrive at an Orlando home with a Medeco deadbolt, we know exactly how that cylinder behaves, because we’ve installed, rekeyed, and repaired them before.
Kwikset, for example, has its own rekeying mechanism, and on emergency lockout jobs we can often restore security without replacing the whole lock. Yale brings a different keyway and tighter tolerances. Baldwin locks are built heavily, and prying them open like a cheaper cylinder destroys both the lock and the door. Whether your Orlando property carries a Kwikset deadbolt or a Baldwin mortise lock, we can open it and repair it properly. And if you have a Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, or Abloy system, you’ll want a locksmith who actually understands restricted keyways and pick-resistant design. High-security hardware requires a locksmith trained to match it.
Signs You Need Emergency Locksmith Right Now
- Your key broke off inside the lock. Do not try to pull the fragment out with tweezers or pliers, you’ll likely push it deeper into the plug and turn a simple extraction into a full cylinder replacement. A broken key left in a Schlage or Baldwin lock also jams the mechanism, which means no spare key is going to help until the fragment is removed.
- The lock turns but the deadbolt won’t move. That usually means the tailpiece connecting the cylinder to the bolt has snapped or slipped, and the door is effectively sealed. This is a mechanical failure, not a key problem, and it means the lock’s internals need to be physically accessed. A locksmith who knows the brand can diagnose it in minutes.
- You’ve just moved into a new home or ended a tenant relationship. You don’t know how many keys exist for that lock, and a former occupant with a copied key is a real security exposure. Rekeying the locks is the intelligent move, and in Orlando’s active rental market, most landlords call us the same day a lease ends.
- You’ve had a break-in or attempted entry. If the lock is damaged, scratched around the keyway, or bent from someone prying at it, that’s not just a security concern, it’s a structural one. We replace compromised cylinders and reinforce the strike plate, and we tell you honestly whether the door itself is still worth securing or is ready for replacement.
- You’re locked out of your car in an Orlando parking lot or driveway. Car key replacement and unlocking use a separate skill set from house locks, transponder programming and proximity fobs, and not every locksmith carries the programming gear for it. Ashgrove Locksmith does, because car keys, deadbolts, and emergencies are one number: (833) 713-2331.
Our Emergency Locksmith Process – Step by Step
1. You call us and tell us what’s happening.
We ask the basics: what kind of property, what brand of lock if you know it, whether the key is broken or just missing, and whether anyone is inside or there’s an immediate safety issue. That helps us bring the right equipment and anticipate the job. You get a straight answer on what we can do before anyone leaves the shop.
2. We give you a real price before dispatch.
We quote the full job on the phone based on what you’ve described. That quote is the price you’ll see on the invoice, because there’s no call-out surcharge added when the tech arrives, and no bait number that balloons after the fact. If the job changes once we’re there, we show you the change before we do it. No surprises, no fine print.
3. We arrive and assess the lock.
Our technicians look at the cylinder, the keyway, the faceplate, and the frame to understand what actually failed. In a lockout, the first priority is non-destructive entry, usually by picking. In a broken-key extraction, we examine the keyway with an endoscope or pick tool to see where the fragment sits. We name the brand and explain what we’re looking at, because you deserve to know exactly what’s wrong.
4. We fix it on site whenever possible.
Most emergency jobs finish in one visit. We carry OEM parts for Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, and high-security cylinders from Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy. If the lock is salvageable, we repair it. If it’s not, we replace it with equivalent or better hardware and key it to match your existing keys or a new set.
5. We verify the door, the lock, and your access before leaving.
Before we leave, we test the lock several times, confirm your keys work smoothly, and walk through anything you should know about the new hardware. If the job was a rekey or a security upgrade, we confirm that old keys no longer work. You get a clear explanation of what was done and what it cost.
How Much Does Emergency Locksmith Cost in Orlando?
A typical residential lockout in Orlando runs $75 to $150 for non-destructive entry during daytime hours, with after-hours and holiday calls sitting between $100 and $220, as detailed in our Emergency Locksmith cost guide. Broken key extraction adds $40 to $90 on top of the base service call if the lock itself is still salvageable. Car lockouts and car key replacement range more widely, from $90 for a basic door unlock to $180 to $350 for a transponder key cut and programmed on the spot, depending on the make and model. Safe opening typically starts around $150 for a simple keypad or jammed-bolt job and rises if drilling or repair is required. Eviction lock changes run $75 to $150 per lock, with rekeying as the more economical option when the existing hardware is worth keeping.
What affects the price: the time of day, the lock’s brand and security level, whether the door requires drilling, and whether new hardware or key programming is involved. A Medeco cylinder costs more to work on than a Kwikset, for the simple reason that it’s built differently and the parts cost more. The single best way to avoid overpaying is to ask for the full price on the phone before anyone is dispatched, and to confirm there’s no arrival surcharge. At Ashgrove Locksmith, the number we quote on the phone is the number on your invoice. Estimates are free, and if we can fix something without replacing the entire lock, we will.
