Emergency Locksmith | Locksmith Chicago Clock

During 5 AM – 2 AM daily we prioritize urgent lockouts, broken keys in cylinders, and doors that will not secure. Call and we will tell you when we can get there.

Calls we move up

Home lockouts with children inside or weather turning bad, business doors that will not secure at closing, broken keys snapped in a cylinder, and vehicles locked with a pet or phone inside—these are the calls we move to the front of the line.

Call (630) 349-7037 and give a clear location, door or vehicle type, and any safety concerns. That information helps us arrive prepared.

Routing from the Elmhurst shop

Because we are based at 100 N Addison Ave Unit 2, Elmhurst, IL 60126, we already sit near the junctions that reach Lombard, Oak Brook, Addison, Villa Park, Hillside, Berkeley, Melrose Park, and beyond.

Inside our 5 AM – 2 AM hours, we see a pattern by town. Emergency lockouts in Bensenville often come from shift workers near O'Hare. In Villa Park, it is home lockouts on the blocks off Ardmore Avenue. In Addison, it is cars locked in the Lake Street and Rohlwing Road lots. Give us the cross-street when you call (630) 349-7037.

Do not leave the door weak

Getting in is half. If the lock failed, we can rekey or replace on the same visit when parts are on the truck so you are not leaving a weak door overnight.

What to do while you wait

Stay somewhere safe and visible, keep your phone charged, and have ID ready that shows the address (or the car registration) so we can confirm you have the right to get in. If a child or pet is locked in a car or the situation is dangerous, call 911 first — then call us.

Tell us what you see: a key snapped in the cylinder, a deadbolt that spins, a door that latched behind you, or a car with the keys on the seat. That helps us bring the right parts and tools on the first trip.

Common questions
