LockoutsOpened a locked front door without drilling, after checking the homeowner's ID and a utility bill with the address.
The problem
The homeowner stepped out to the mailbox and the door swung shut behind them with the knob lock set. The deadbolt was not thrown, keys and phone were inside, and a neighbor's phone was used to call.
What we did
- Confirmed ID and proof of residence before touching the door.
- Checked which lock was actually engaged: only the knob latch.
- Opened the latch with entry tools, leaving the lock undamaged.
- Tested both locks with the homeowner's keys once inside.
The result
The door opened with no damage, and both locks still work with the original keys.
