Many people use their garage door as a front door, but how many of you have a key in hand for your front door? If spring breaks or another malfunction takes place when you are not at home the automatic opener might not work and allow the garage door to open, leaving you needing a locksmith. We receive several calls each year because our customers do not have a front door key with them and they are locked out of their home.

Not having a key might require a locksmith to come to your home to get you inside which could cost you anywhere from $79.00 to $150.00 just to get you inside your home. The simple solution is to make sure you have an extra key to your front door on your key chain, in your wallet or purse, for example. The same can be said for a second car key. If you find yourself locked out of the car, at least you can save yourself some money by grabbing the second one, albeit a little inconvenient. Calling for service on your garage door first would not be of any benefit, as the garage door service technician would need access to the garage in order to fix the problem. In some cases though, you will need to contact reliable locksmiths in your area to help you. They are convenient if your spare key gets lost or stolen and there is no other way of accessing your property, it can happen to us all, being prepared in multiple areas will be of benefit to you. The most important thing is that you find someone local. For example, if you live in Elwood, try and find a Locksmith Elwood.

So, if you should get locked out of your house because your garage door won’t open and you don’t have a key to your front door, be sure to gain access first, and then call us at 913.381.1767 or 816.356.1771.
