When you call out an emergency locksmith because you have been locked out of your property, the first thing they should do is look assess how they can get back into your property without causing any damage to the lock or door. This is non destructive gain entry. It requires training to be able to do this as there are different techniques involved with this process which can sometimes be tricky if done incorrectly.

When it comes to opening a locked door, there are several different methods that you can use depending on the type of lock. For example: Yale locks usually require picking tools and bump keys in order for them be opened. Night latches typically need manual persuasion while mortice locks may take more time since there is hands on work involved.

The first thing to know about locks is that there is never a one-size fits all solution. Locking systems can be very complicated, with many different types and ages of lock requiring various approaches for success; this means it would be misleading (and dangerous!) if we say drilling your way out will never work because sometimes nothing else does either!

Mortice locks are the most difficult and therefore if any lock needs drilling it will be one of these. With this said if a locksmith does need to drill a lock, they will leave your lock and door looking as good as, if not better than it did when they arrived.

For those who need emergency entry, it is worth checking if the locksmith will at attempt Non-Destructive Entry techniques before turning to the drill. You can do this by looking up their company website for mention of ‘Non-Destructive’ or reading reviews on Google about them before calling them so that you know what kind of service, they offer in addition to the quality of their workmanship.

At the end of day, sometimes drilling out old locks to replace them with brand new ones really is your best option. If you have lost keys or fear they may have been stolen, this will keep those people from accessing your property using your lost keys! With this said no one should be forced to pay an unnecessary bill, so do your research make sure you have chosen a reliable local locksmith with good reviews then you can be sure you are in safe hands.
