Lockout Service in Silver Spring, MD

Silver Spring runs from dense apartment blocks downtown out to detached housing around Four Corners and Woodside, and the lockout mix follows that. Downtown it is mostly controlled-access buildings; further out it is front doors, side doors and garages.

We cover the whole of it as a mobile service, at whatever hour the problem happens.

Basement apartments and separate entrances

Silver Spring has a lot of basement units and rear entrances, and these often carry hardware that was added later and maintained less. A separate-entrance door that has never quite sat right in its frame will eventually stop latching or stop releasing. Once you are back inside it is worth having the alignment looked at rather than waiting for it to strand you again.

Tenants and landlords

If you rent, we can get you into your own unit once tenancy is verified — a lease, a licence with the address, or mail addressed to you there. Changing locks is a different matter and generally the property owner's decision, and we will tell you that plainly rather than doing work you are not entitled to authorise.

I rent. Can you let me back into my apartment?

Yes, once tenancy is verified. Opening your own unit is a lockout; changing the locks is a landlord decision.

Do you cover downtown Silver Spring buildings?

Yes, including controlled-access buildings. Let us know on the phone whether you can reach your floor, as it affects how we approach the visit.

My back door will not latch properly. Is that a locksmith job?

It is. A door that will not latch is usually an alignment problem between door, frame and strike plate, and it tends to worsen until it is addressed.
