The safest way to regain access to your home in the case of an emergency lockout is to call a locksmith and go to a safe location until they arrive. Trying to use force to reenter your car, residence, or commercial building could result in damages that lead to costly repairs. If you attempt to drill the lock, you may end up having to replace it when you could save money and time by calling a locksmith and waiting less than 30 minutes for an expert to arrive and unlock the door without damaging the lock in the process.
