Montauk lockouts, day or night

A lockout in Montauk can mean a beach house after a day at Ditch Plains, a rental with the key left inside, a motel office that will not open or a shop door that sticks before the morning rush. The Village Locksmiths handles all of those, along with locked safes, 24/7.

We are based at 4 Hartley Blvd in East Hampton and have done lockout work on the East End since 1998. Call (631) 324-2547.

Home and rental lockouts

The front door closes behind you with the keys on the counter, a key snaps off in the deadbolt, or a smart lock stops responding after its battery dies. We get you inside using non-destructive methods where possible, extract broken keys and repair the lock if it was damaged. If your keys were lost or stolen, we can rekey before we leave so the missing set no longer works.

Rentals bring their own version of the problem. Guests lose the only key or cannot get a keypad code to work. We get them back inside, then rekey or reset codes for the owner so the lost key stops mattering.

Motel, shop and office lockouts

Montauk has had motels since the years after World War II, when the Maisonettes opened as the hamlet’s first. At a motel, a lockout can be a guest room, the front office or the linen closet, and any of them can hold up check-in. Restaurants and shops get locked out of back doors, storerooms and offices, often right before opening.

We open commercial doors, file cabinets and storage rooms, and work on keypad and high-security locks. After a lockout caused by a missing key or an employee who left with one, we can rekey the affected locks or set up a master key system so a manager always holds a key that opens everything.

Ocean beaches and late nights

Ditch Plains, the Town of East Hampton’s surfing and swimming beach in Montauk, is open year-round. Keys get dropped in the sand, left in a beach bag or locked inside, and the same goes for staff closing up a business late. Whatever the hour, we answer lockout calls 24/7.

Safe lockouts

A forgotten combination or a lost safe key shuts you out just as surely as a jammed door. We open home safes and business safes, then change the combination or repair the lock so the safe can be used again.

Common questions

Will you damage my door to get me in?

We use non-destructive entry methods first. Drilling or replacing a lock is a last resort for locks that are broken or seized, and we only do it with your approval.

I'm renting a house in Montauk. Can you let me in?

Yes. Rental lockouts are handled 24/7, and we can also rekey or reset the code for the owner afterward. Call (631) 324-2547 any time.

Can you get us into our shop or motel office before we open?

Yes. We handle lockouts for storefronts, offices, storerooms and motel guest rooms 24/7. If the key left with an employee, we can rekey the lock afterward so it no longer works.
