Some lockouts aren’t just frustrating—they're life-threatening. A child locked in a car. An elderly parent trapped behind a jammed door. A diabetic who can’t access their meds.
In these moments, every second matters. And that’s exactly when we drop everything and go.

What Is a Life-Safety Lockout?
A life-safety lockout is any lock-related emergency that puts someone’s life, health, or safety at immediate risk.
Examples include:
A child locked in a car or room
A senior citizen locked out during extreme weather
Pets left inside a vehicle in high heat
Medical emergencies (access to insulin, oxygen, etc.)
Fire or carbon monoxide risks
If it threatens a life, we treat it as priority #1.
