At Lawful Rogue Lockouts LLC I specialize in non-destructive entry and bypassing of locks. I do my best to stay up to date on all tools, techniques, and breakthroughs made in my industry when it comes to home, auto, and commercial lockouts. The last thing anyone wants is for their lock to be damaged or broken during a lockout or to have to pay for a replacement lock with no notice. I have a very large list of tools that I go through before I ever even consider using a drill or any other form of destructive entry. I've climbed through home windows and car trunks and squeezed through packed garages and sheds all to avoid damage to a customer's property. I come from a background of working in a full-service locksmith shop so I can certainly perform a variety of services, but lockouts remain my favorite and preferred service. I love helping those in need and outsmarting locks in any way possible.

I have been doing Remodel work for over 25 years I work by myself so you will get a very good job. You will receive a printed copy of your estimate describing the work to be done and the cost, and I always ask for 50 percent down on my contract before the job will be done.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Keyless locks are often considered safer since they’re protected by passcodes instead of a physical key, making it harder to be picked. However, they are not infallible. And like all electronic devices, outdated models are more prone to problems and safety concerns. If you’ve experienced multiple lockouts in the past year, or your lock is responding slower than usual after you key in the passcode, it might be time to upgrade to a newer one. Even if your lock is working fine, you should still change your access code at least twice a year.

Security experts recommend deadbolt door locks on entry doors because they provide the best security. Deadbolts can prevent most types of forced entry and make your doors harder to lockpick.

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

When it comes to how to get a stuck key out of a lock, the simplest way is to use some kind of lubricating substance. One option is to apply graphite powder while wiggling the key gently. As the graphite fills the lock, jiggling should loosen the key enough to allow you to pull it out.
