No you don’t. We will however try to verify, through different means, that you are in fact authorized to enter. At the very least you will be asked to provide drivers license information for our records.

No, you don’t owe a thing until we have gained entry…but, we will accept gratuities.

Yes they are. So ask yourself: Can I wait until normal working hours (8 to 5) to gain entry? If so, wait, it will be cheaper on you.

A lockout is a situation where one needs to gain entry into a locked area, but does not have a key. A locksmith will use specialized tools, training and resources to try to gain entry. These tools are usually effective but not always. While rare, sometimes it is necessary and more cost effective to defeat the lock by going through it, which will usually entail destructive means such as drilling into the lock, and then repairing or replacing it. With the owners’ permission, locksmiths are well equipped to handle these situations also.

Maybe, have you thought about all the possibilities to gain entry?
Who else has a key, and are they available?
Have you checked all the doors and windows (don’t forget vent windows)?
Can you wait until another key is located?
Can you leave and then return some other time with a key?
