House lockout in Montreal: what to know
Opening without damage
Depending on the lock, we pick it, manipulate the latch or use dedicated tools. If the only sensible option involves replacing the cylinder, that's explained and we wait for your approval.
Occupancy check
We only open for people who legitimately occupy the property. ID, a lease, a bill in your name at that address, or a landlord we can reach on the phone will normally do.

Frequently asked questions
Rarely. Drilling is a last resort for seized or already-damaged locks, and it's always discussed with you first.
Yes, if you rent or own that unit and can show it. Getting into shared areas may need the building manager's help.
That's usually a jammed latch or a shifted frame. It's fixable, but the job differs from a simple lockout, so mention it on the call.
Only if your keys are lost or stolen, or the lock was already worn out. A clean opening doesn't affect how it works.
