3 Situations in Which You'll Need an Emergency Locksmith

Philadelphia is home to many emergency locksmith companies, and when you need one, you'll be glad to know they're there! But how many emergencies really call for a locksmith, and how common are they? Here are three situations in which you'll need your locksmith to come in a hurry:

1. Locked out of the house – Of course, it's embarrassing. And of course, it's inconvenient. But it's something that has happened to all of us at one point or another—and it is not fun. There are a variety of ways you could end up locking yourself out of the house: it could be that you thought you had your keys in your pocket or purse when you really didn't. You may have grabbed the wrong keys or lost your keys while you were out. Or you might have stepped outside for just a few seconds, leaving the door wide open behind you, only to hear it shut unexpectedly. No matter how it happens, when you get locked out of the house you need help fast, and that's when it's time to call an emergency locksmith. This is especially true when it's freezing cold outside, when it's raining or at the peak of a Pennsylvania summer. Call a locksmith who will get there quick!
2. Locked out of the car – Locking yourself out of your car can happen just as easily—maybe even more so—as locking yourself out of the house, but it can be much more serious. Often, when someone gets locked out of the car, they are on their way somewhere and have an appointment to keep. Other times, the keys are still in the ignition, wearing down the battery, or the car might still be running and using gas. Old tricks like using a coat hanger do not work on newer theft-proof cars and neither does forcing the windows down, which can damage the vehicle. Your best bet is to call a 24 hour locksmith who can be there in a hurry. 
3. You need to change your locks – This is an unfortunate situation and one we all hope never to be in. But whether you have suffered from a break-in, had a key go missing under unfortunate circumstances, or are simply worried about a bad ex-roommate, if you need to change the locks it is a matter of your peace of mind and you need it done quickly. This is a job an emergency locksmith is proud to do for you.
