Lost your storage unit key or dealing with a lock that will not open? LRG Locksmith provides mobile storage unit lockout and lock removal service throughout South Florida.
The goal is to restore your access while protecting the unit door, latch, and surrounding hardware. We inspect the setup first and explain the recommended approach before starting.
Fully insured. Direct service. Clear quotes.
A storage unit lock is attached to hardware that belongs to the facility. Forcing the lock, pulling on the door, or bending the latch can turn a lockout into an expensive door repair.
There is no single method that suits every storage unit. The lock type, available clearance, latch design, and existing condition all affect the approach. We assess these details and work on the lock itself whenever practical, with attention to the surrounding surfaces and nearby belongings.
Protecting the door does not always mean saving the lock. Some locks must be removed and replaced. The aim is to sacrifice only the lock when necessary, rather than damage the unit. The condition of the hardware must be assessed before we can explain the risks; no damage free result can be promised in every situation.
Call or text the facility address and tell us whether the key is lost, broken, or no longer turning. We will discuss the issue and arrange the next step. The final approach depends on an inspection at the unit.
Contact the facility office before booking. Ask whether an outside locksmith is permitted, whether staff must be present, and whether a lock removal authorization form is required. Have photo ID and proof that you rent the unit or are authorized to access it.
We check the lock, latch, surrounding door, and any existing damage. We explain the planned work, whether the lock will need replacement, and the price before you approve the service.
We use an approach suited to the lock and the available working space, with the goal of limiting risk to the door and latch. If removal is necessary, the work is kept focused on the lock as far as the setup allows. If inspection reveals a separate door or latch problem, we explain it before proceeding.
After opening, we check that the latch operates and the door can close properly. If the original lock cannot be reused, you will need a compatible replacement that meets the facility requirements before leaving the unit secured. Replacement availability and cost are confirmed separately.
We assess storage lockouts involving padlocks, disc locks, and cylinder locks fitted into the latch. Each design needs its own assessment, especially when the lock sits close to the door or inside a protective housing.
A key that will not turn does not always mean the lock is the only problem. Latch pressure, corrosion, or damaged hardware may also need attention. Avoid forcing the key or lifting and pulling the door aggressively.
If the facility has placed an additional lock on the unit or restricted your access, resolve that directly with management. We only work with verified authorization and facility approval where required.
Pricing depends on the lock type, accessibility, condition, location, and whether a replacement lock is needed. Call or text to discuss the issue and get an initial estimate. The scope and final price are confirmed before work begins.
LRG Locksmith offers mobile service throughout South Florida. Appointment times depend on facility access hours and availability.

That is our goal. We inspect the setup and choose an approach intended to preserve the door and latch. The lock itself may need replacement, and existing damage or the lock design can affect the result.
Plan to be present with ID and proof of access. Any alternative arrangement must be confirmed with us and the facility before the appointment.
Sometimes. If the lock must be drilled or cut during removal, it will need replacement. We explain what to expect before starting.
A lockout and a damaged door are different jobs. If the door, track, or latch has a separate problem, we identify it and discuss the next step with you and the facility.
Speak with the facility first. Improper removal can damage its door or latch, and some facilities restrict tools and require an approved service provider. Keep force away from the door while arranging assistance.
Call or text with the facility address and a brief description of the issue. We will review the setup and help arrange the next step.
