Bronx apartment lockouts are unique because most doors in the borough have multiple locks — often a deadbolt, a jimmy-proof, and sometimes a police lock or security bar. Getting locked out means all of these need to be bypassed, not just one. Our Bronx lockout technicians are experts at multi-lock door openings and carry the full toolkit needed for every lock combination we encounter in the borough. From NYCHA housing in Mott Haven to pre-war buildings on the Grand Concourse, we handle it all with non-destructive techniques.
The most common Bronx lockout involves a door with two locks: the deadbolt was left unlocked but the jimmy-proof engaged when the door closed. The tenant stepped out thinking they could get back in, not realizing the jimmy-proof auto-locked. The second most common scenario: a tenant locks all locks from outside, then loses or misplaces their keys during the day. In both cases, we open all engaged locks without damage and get you back inside quickly.
Bronx apartment lockout service costs $85–$175 depending on the number of locks. A standard 2-lock door (deadbolt + jimmy-proof) is typically $85–$125. Doors with police locks or mortise hardware may be at the higher end. We quote the exact price before starting.
