Locked Out in Somerset? Here’s What to Do

If you’re locked out, don’t panic — stay calm and follow these steps to ensure your safety and a quick resolution.

1. Double-Check All Entry Points

Before calling a locksmith, check every door and window. It’s surprising how often another door or back entrance is unlocked.

2. Avoid DIY Lock-Picking

Never attempt to force the lock yourself. Using tools, coat hangers, or screwdrivers can cause permanent damage — and increase the repair cost.

3. Call a Local Emergency Locksmith

Contact a 24-hour locksmith like Locking Locksmiths Somerset. We can usually reach you within 30–45 minutes, even at night or during holidays.

4. Stay in a Safe Location

If you’re locked out late at night, wait somewhere safe — a neighbour’s home, car, or well-lit area — until your locksmith arrives.

5. Provide Identification

Once we arrive, we’ll ask for proof that you’re authorised to enter the property. This is standard practice for your protection and ours.
