Houdini Locksmith - Your Trusted Spokane Locksmith. Don't lose another minute of your day. Call our emergency local locksmith in Spokane and we'll have a trained, professional locksmith come to you to get you going again. We're licensed and insured for your peace of mind. Car key creation, lockout, and re-key service are available.

"I was having a terrible morning. Took my mom to the doctor and locked my keys in the car. After determining there was no one available to bring the spare, I called Houdini locksmith. He said it'd be about a half hour and would call when he was on the way. Sure enough, 25 minutes later he called and 5 minutes after that he arrived. He had a great attitude, we joked around a bit, but he maintained the perfect balance between friendliness and professionalism. It didn't cost as much as I'd feared and when I left he was helping the lady parked beside me to get her car started. I would definitely call them again if needed."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith.

Yes, most pros encourage you to change your locks when you move into a new home. While the previous owner may hand you their keys, you have no way of knowing whether other copies exist elsewhere. Changing your locks as soon as you move in is a great way to ensure that you can enjoy new, fully functioning locks that will work with your unique key or code.

In some cases this is possible, but it’s not advisable as the screwdriver is likely to leave marks all over the wall and a noticeable dent on the door. Move slowly and carefully if you have to use this method, and consider calling an emergency locksmith right away instead of trying to break in.
