What should I do if I'm locked out of my house?

First, walk the perimeter — about 1 in 4 lockout calls end when the homeowner finds an unlocked back door or garage entry. Check with neighbors who may have a spare.

If you must call for help, choose a local locksmith with a real Clover, SC address and verifiable phone number. Get the trip charge and expected service total before they dispatch.

Avoid national hotlines advertising unusually low rates — they often sub-contract to whoever picks up and can charge much more than expected for a basic lockout. A direct call to Clover Locksmith at 803-398-4257 reaches our dispatcher and our own technicians.
