  • Sliding a flexible plastic card (better yet, a curving strip cut from a tough 2-liter plastic soda bottle, which bends around the doorframe molding without snapping like a credit card) between the door edge and strike plate only works on a spring-loaded doorknob latch where the slanted bevel of the latch is facing toward you (an inward-swinging door) AND the deadbolt is NOT locked.
  • If the top deadbolt is locked, or if the door has an anti-shim deadlatch pin properly seated inside the strike plate, a plastic card cannot move the bolt.

How to avoid the "$19 Locksmith" Google Ad Bait-and-Switch Scam

One of the most aggressive consumer fraud rings in North America, the UK, and Australia preys directly on panicked people locked out of their homes or cars at night.

How the Locksmith Scam works

  1. The Bait: You search "locksmith near me" on a smartphone and click a top sponsored ad promising "$15 to $29 Service Call , 15 Minute Arrival , Local Locksmith."
  2. The Call Center: You are actually calling an overseas or out-of-state lead-generation call center operating under 50 fake local business names. The dispatcher tells you: "It's a $19 service call plus labor starting at $35 depending on the lock."
  3. The Ambush & Extortion: Forty-five minutes later, a subcontractor arrives in an unmarked personal sedan wearing plain clothes. He glances at your standard $25 Kwikset or Schlage doorknob, falsely claims "This is a high-security commercial anti-pick lock that cannot be picked," pulls out a cordless drill, and destroys your lock cylinder in 30 seconds.
  4. The Shakedown: Now that your front door cannot be locked and your old lock is in pieces on the porch, he installs a cheap \(15 generic cylinder and hands you a bill for **\)480 to $850**, demanding Cash, Zelle, or Venmo only and threatening to remove the lock or call police if you refuse to pay.
Red Flag vs. Legitimate Practice Predatory Scam "Locksmith" Legitimate Professional Locksmith
Phone Greeting & Business Name Answers with a generic phrase like "Locksmith Services" without stating a real company name Answers with their specific local company name matching a real brick-and-mortar shop address
Quoted Price on the Phone Quotes $15 to $29 "service call" plus "starting at $35" and refuses to give a maximum total price Gives a firm, transparent flat-rate range on the phone (typically $85 to \(175 total** during daytime, or **\)150 to $250 after-hours)
Method of Entry (Standard Residential Lock) Immediately claims the lock is "unpickable" and pulls out a power drill within 60 seconds to destroy it (so they can sell you an overpriced $300 replacement lock) Ɔde adwumayɛfo lock-picking nnwinnade, bump keys, Lishi decoders, anaa air-wedge/long-reach nnwinnade di dwuma de bue 95%+ atrae ne kar lock a zero damage
Vehicle, Uniform, & Licensing Arrives in an unmarked private car with no company logo; refuses to show a state locksmith license Arrives in a clearly branded service van/truck; carries state locksmith license (required in 15+ US states) or ALOA / MLA credentials
Payment Demands Demands Cash, Zelle, or Venmo (so you cannot file a credit card chargeback for fraud) Accepts major credit cards with an itemized printed/emailed invoice

3 rules before you hang up the phone or let a locksmith touch your door

  1. Ask this exact question on the phone before dispatching: "I have a standard [Schlage / Kwikset] residential deadbolt and doorknob [or a 2020 Honda Civic]. Including the trip fee, labor, and taxes, what is the MAXIMUM total price I will pay to unlock it, and do you accept credit cards?" If they refuse to state a maximum cap and keep repeating "The technician has to look at it first, starting at $29," hang up immediately.
  2. Never let a technician put a drill to a standard residential lock without your permission: Over 95 percent of residential pin-tumbler locks (Kwikset, Schlage, Baldwin, Defiant, Yale) can be non-destructively picked or bypassed in under 10 minutes by a trained locksmith so your existing keys still work. (The only common exception is a Kwikset SmartKey rekeyable cylinder, which uses sidebars instead of traditional pins and sometimes requires a specialized decoder camera or cylinder replacement). If an arriving tech immediately pulls out a drill and demands $500, tell them: "Stop. Do not touch my door. I am not paying $500; you may leave now."
  3. Where to find a verified legitimate locksmith:
  4. United States: Search the official Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) directory at findalocksmith.com or call AAA.
  5. United Kingdom: Only use a locksmith vetted by the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) at locksmiths.co.uk (look for the MLA Approved Company logo).
  6. Australia & New Zealand: Use a member of the Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia (MLAA) at masterlocksmiths.com.au na ɛyɛ.

Preventing future lockouts in 5 minutes

Once you are back inside your home or car, spend $15 to $30 this week to make sure you can never be locked out in freezing weather again:

  • For your home:
  • Never hide a key under the doormat, on top of the doorframe, or inside a fake plastic rock (burglars check those three spots in 10 seconds).
  • Instead, bolt a heavy-duty push-button mechanical combination key lockbox (such as a Supra/Kidde Permanent KeySafe or Master Lock wall-mount box) onto an inconspicuous back porch post, gas meter pipe, or fence post out of sight of the street, or install a keypad deadbolt with a physical key override (keep the lithium 9V or AA batteries fresh every autumn before winter freezes, as extreme cold drops alkaline battery voltage).
  • Give a labeled spare house key to one trusted neighbor within walking distance and one friend/relative in town.
  • For your car:
  • Order a $5 flat non-transponder "Mechanical Door-Only Key" (Valet / Surf Key) cut at a hardware store or dealership. While a flat metal key without a microchip cannot start your car's ignition (so a thief who finds it cannot drive your car away), it will unlock your driver's side physical door cylinder so you can retrieve your real key fob locked inside the cabin. Keep this flat metal key inside your wallet behind your driver's license or zipped inside your winter coat pocket.

Am I legally allowed to break someone else's car window if I see a baby or dog locked inside on a hot day?

In over 30 US states and across most common-law jurisdictions under the doctrine of necessity and Good Samaritan hot-car statutes, you are protected from civil and criminal liability for breaking a vehicle window when a child, vulnerable adult, or animal is in imminent danger of heat stroke or hypothermia, provided you follow four mandatory steps: first, try the door handles to verify the car is actually locked; second, call 911 immediately before or during the rescue; third, break a side tempered window farthest from the child or pet using only necessary force; and fourth, stay right by the vehicle with the child or animal until police and paramedics arrive.

Which car window is the easiest, safest, and cheapest to break in an emergency?

Always choose one of the main rectangular side door windows (typically the rear passenger-side window farthest from any occupant inside), never the front windshield (which is laminated with tough plastic and will not shatter) and avoid tiny triangular quarter-panel glass (which is often the most expensive piece of glass on the car to replace because the entire door frame seal must be rebuilt). Use a sharp, hard pointed metal tool (like a center punch, screwdriver tip, or lug wrench corner) and strike the lower corner of the side glass near the frame, never the bouncy center.

Why do so many locksmith ads on Google advertise a "$19 or $29 service call" and then charge $500?

The "$19 service call" ads are run by unlicensed lead-generation scam networks that buy top search engine ad slots in every city. The $19 fee is merely a deceptive "trip fee" to get an untrained subcontractor to your door. Once there, they falsely claim your standard lock cannot be picked, drill and destroy your deadbolt so you cannot lock your house, and demand $400 to $800 in cash or Zelle for a cheap replacement lock. A legitimate professional locksmith charges a transparent flat rate of roughly $85 to $220 total (depending on time of day), gives you a firm price ceiling over the phone, picks standard locks without drilling them, and accepts credit cards.

Can police officers still unlock my car for free if I lock my keys inside?

Because modern vehicle doors contain side-impact airbag wiring harnesses, delicate power-lock actuators, and electronic sensors inside the door cavity that can be damaged by traditional metal "Slim Jim" rods, most municipal police departments no longer unlock cars for routine non-emergency lockouts. However, if a child, elderly person, or pet is locked inside, if the vehicle engine is running in an enclosed space, or if you are stranded in dangerous freezing cold or extreme heat, police and fire departments will respond immediately to unlock the door with an inflatable air-wedge kit or place you in a warm patrol car.

Can I unlock my car using my smartphone if I locked my keys inside and never paid for OnStar or a connected-car subscription?

Often, yes. Many modern vehicles built since 2018 (such as Ford vehicles with FordPass) include complimentary remote cellular door unlocking through the manufacturer's mobile app, you can simply borrow a friend's or store clerk's smartphone, log into your vehicle account, tap "Unlock," and log out. Even if your manufacturer charges a monthly fee for connected services (like GM OnStar, Subaru STARLINK, or Toyota Remote Connect) and your trial expired years ago, you can call their 24/7 toll-free customer support line from a borrowed phone, verify your identity and VIN, activate a 1-month plan for $15 over the phone, and have the operator beam an unlock signal to your car in 2 minutes.

What should I do if my electronic keypad door lock or car key fob stops working in sub-zero winter cold?

Extreme freezing temperatures below -15 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit) cause standard alkaline AA batteries and coin-cell CR2032 fob batteries to suffer a steep internal voltage drop, making electronic deadbolts and key fobs appear completely dead. For a car key fob, hold the fob tightly against your bare skin inside your armpit or blow warm breath on it for 2 minutes to warm the CR2032 battery enough for one last click, or pull the hidden mechanical metal key blade out of the fob and pry off the small plastic cap on your driver's door handle to reveal the manual keyhole. For a dead home smart lock without a keyhole, press a fresh 9-volt battery against the two emergency external brass contact terminals at the very bottom of the keypad to power it up from outside.
