What to Do When You’re Locked Out

Written By Burak Sezgin

“Keys lost. Trust found.”

MN Lock Rescue is here to guide you through it.

Stay Calm and Safe

Take a breath. Whether it’s your home, car, or office — panic won’t help. If it’s late or cold (hello, Minnesota winters), find a safe spot to wait: a neighbor’s porch, a nearby café, or your vehicle if accessible.

Double-Check Everything

  • Try other doors or windows

  • Check your bag, pockets, or car console

  • Ask household members if they have a spare

Avoid DIY Damage

Don’t force the lock, break a window, or use makeshift tools. These often cause more harm — and cost — than calling a pro.
