Helpful emergency information
Practical steps for before and during a lockout. Some of them may save you the call — and none of them involve forcing a door or window.
- If a child, vulnerable adult or pet is locked inside a car or a home and is at risk from heat or cold, call 911 first.
- Check every door, the trunk or tailgate, a side or patio door and any garage keypad — one is often unlocked.
- Think about who holds a spare: family, a neighbor, a property manager or a building's front desk.
- Push-to-start car not detecting the fob? Hold the fob against the start button — most cars can read a weak fob that way.
- Frozen lock: use lock de-icer or warm the key, not the lock. Never pour hot water into a lock; it refreezes deeper inside.
- Don't force a key that won't turn. A cold key snaps easily, and a broken key turns a lockout into a repair.
- Don't pry a window or door yourself. The damage usually costs more to fix than the lockout.
- Ask for a price range before anyone is sent, and what could change it. Have photo ID ready for when the technician arrives.
Common questions
Is Mr Locksmith open 24/7?
Yes. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Call (312) 478-6125.
What areas do you serve?
Buffalo Grove and communities within roughly 20 miles across Cook and Lake counties, including Wheeling, Arlington Heights, Long Grove, Lincolnshire, Vernon Hills, Palatine, Deerfield, Prospect Heights, Northbrook, Mount Prospect and Lake Zurich.
How much does a locksmith cost?
It depends on the job, the lock or vehicle, the time of day and the distance. Prices are not published because the same call can mean very different work — ask for a price range on the phone before anyone is dispatched.
Do you have a storefront I can visit?
No. Mr Locksmith is a mobile service based in Buffalo Grove. The technician comes to your car, home or business.
Will you ask for ID?
Expect to be. Before or right after a lock is opened or a key is made, you may be asked for photo ID and proof that you are entitled to access — a registration, a lease, a utility bill, or business paperwork.
Can you make a car key if I lost the only one?
Often a new key can be made from the vehicle's key code and programmed to the immobilizer, but it depends on the year and the system — some take longer and a few are dealer-restricted. Call with the year, make, model and VIN to ask whether Mr Locksmith can do yours.
Do you rekey or replace locks after a move?
Both. Rekeying is usually the economical choice if the locks are in good condition; replacement makes sense for worn, damaged or light-duty hardware.
Can I call in Spanish?
Yes. Mr Locksmith works in English and Spanish — ask for either on the phone.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Locksmith carries active liability insurance.
