How a business lockout is handled
A Lake Balboa commercial lockout runs:

- If rekeying or a master reset is needed, we quote it in writing before proceeding.
- For a leased space, we confirm your authority rather than open a door for the wrong person.
When people call us for this in Lake Balboa
- Staff arrived to open and the key or code will not work.
- An employee left without returning keys and you are locked out of a space.

Questions people ask
Will opening the door damage it?
We use non-destructive methods first. Some high-security commercial locks cannot be opened cleanly, and we will explain the choice before doing anything that requires new hardware.
Can you get us into a safe or back room too?
Often, for the verified owner or authorized person. Tell us what is locked and we will say up front what we can open on site and what needs special handling.
