There’s a lot of misinformation about how emergency lockouts work. For instance, many people believe that all locksmiths can open any lock without damage, but that’s not always true — it depends on the lock type. I’m curious what myths you’ve come across in your own experiences.
I’ve definitely seen the belief that all locks can be opened without damage… I once had a customer who thought a high-security deadbolt could be bypassed easily, but it required special tools and skills, leading to higher costs than expected. It’s always smart to know what you’re dealing with before calling a locksmith.
I’ve had clients think all locks can be opened with a bump key — definitely not the case for many high-security models. Understanding your lock type is key!
