Chicago Emergency Lock and Key Help
Lock problems do not follow a schedule. A key may break in a lock, a door may stop latching, an employee may lose a business key, or a driver may lock keys inside a vehicle.
Our mobile technicians carry professional tools and commonly used hardware for many residential, commercial and automotive situations. The exact solution depends on the lock, door, key system, vehicle and condition of the opening.

Emergency Locksmith FAQs

Do you provide locksmith service at night and on weekends?
Omega Locksmith lists 24/7 mobile service hours. Availability for a particular job depends on the location, service type and technician coverage when you call.
What proof do I need for a lockout?
Be prepared to provide government-issued identification and proof of ownership, residency, vehicle ownership or authorization from the property owner or manager.
Can you open a lock without damaging it?
Many lockouts can be handled with damage-minimizing methods, but the appropriate method depends on the lock, door, failure and security level. Damaged or failed hardware may require repair or replacement.
Can you make a car key after hours?
Car-key service may be available for many supported vehicles. Call with the year, make, model, location and whether any working key remains so coverage can be checked.
Should I rekey after losing a house or business key?
Rekeying may be appropriate when an unaccounted-for key could identify or access the property. It changes compatible cylinders so the missing key no longer works.
