Common House Lockout Scenarios We Handle
Home lockouts can occur for many reasons—and our team has seen them all. Some of the most common scenarios we respond to include:
- Lost house keys
- Keys locked inside the house
- Broken key in lock
- Jammed or malfunctioning door lock
- Battery failure in smart lock or keypad lock
- Tenant lockouts during landlord disputes
- Eviction lockouts with proper authorization

Whether the issue is mechanical, electronic, or key-related, we deliver customized solutions based on your specific lock type and access needs.
Key Extraction and Lock Repair After Lockouts
In some cases, a key may snap inside the lock, or a lock may become jammed due to wear, weather, or damage. DC Mobile Locksmith offers broken key extraction services and on-the-spot lock repair or replacement for your home.
Our mobile units carry a wide selection of residential lock hardware, including high-security deadbolts, smart locks, and traditional entry sets, so we can restore security immediately if your lock is damaged or needs upgrading after a lockout.
Locked Out of an Interior Door in Your Home?
Lockouts don’t always involve the front door. Many homeowners accidentally get locked out of:
- Bedroom doors
- Bathroom doors
- Basement or attic access
- Garage doors (manual or electronic)
- Home office doors
- Utility rooms or storage closets
Interior doors often use privacy locks or passage locks that can become stuck or accidentally engaged. We have the tools to unlock interior residential doors quickly and without damaging delicate hardware or door finishes.
Smart Lock and Keyless Entry Lockouts
More DC homeowners than ever use smart locks, Bluetooth locks, and keypad entry systems for convenience and security. But these systems can also fail—whether due to battery issues, forgotten PIN codes, Wi-Fi disconnection, or software glitches.
DC Mobile Locksmith is trained to handle modern electronic and keyless lockouts, including:
- Yale smart locks
- Kwikset Kevo & SmartCode
- Schlage Connect & Sense
- August smart locks
- Samsung digital locks
- Ultraloq & other Bluetooth locks
- Z-Wave or Zigbee-enabled devices
We troubleshoot or bypass electronic locks without damage and can also assist with battery changes, firmware resets, or temporary reprogramming to regain access.
Lock Rekeying and Replacement After a House Lockout
After a lockout—especially due to lost keys—it’s often wise to rekey or replace your locks for peace of mind. If your key was lost in a public place or could be tied to your home address, your property may be vulnerable.
We offer:
- Residential lock rekeying (changing the pins inside your existing locks so old keys no longer work)
- Lock replacement with high-security options
- Installation of new deadbolts, handle sets, or electronic locks
- Upgrades to smart lock systems or keypad locks
Our team will help you choose the right level of security based on your home’s layout, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
Immediate Assistance for Residential Tenants, Landlords, and Realtors
House lockouts don't only affect homeowners. If you're a renter, landlord, or real estate agent, you may find yourself needing access to a locked property. We work with:
- Residential tenants locked out of apartments or shared housing
- Property managers needing emergency access
- Landlords performing legal lockouts or changing locks post-eviction

Our locksmiths understand the legal boundaries of residential access and always ensure we have proper authorization before unlocking any door.
