Don't Get Scammed - How to Identify a Legitimate Emergency Locksmith

Unfortunately, there are many unlicensed, out-of-state call centers that pose as local locksmiths. They quote low prices over the phone, then charge 3-4x more once they arrive. Here's how to avoid scams:

✔︎ Real locksmiths answer the phone with their business name — not a generic "locksmith service"

✔︎ Real locksmiths provide firm quotes over the phone — not "starting at" prices

✔︎ Real locksmiths arrive in marked vehicles with uniforms and ID badges

✔︎ Real locksmiths verify your ID before unlocking anything

✔︎ Real locksmiths have a physical local address (not a PO box or virtual office)

✔︎ Real locksmiths are licensed with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety

❌ Fake locksmiths quote $19-$35 lockout prices — then charge $150-$300 on arrival

❌ Fake locksmiths arrive in unmarked cars without uniforms

❌ Fake locksmiths claim to be "just around the corner" but take 45+ minutes

❌ Fake locksmiths demand cash only or refuse to provide receipts

❌ Fake locksmiths cannot provide a valid Minnesota DPS license number

MPLS Locksmith checks every box. We've been serving Minneapolis since 1998 with transparent pricing, marked vehicles, uniformed technicians, and valid Minnesota licensing.

Frequently Asked Questions – Emergency Locksmith

+ How fast can you get to my location in an emergency?

Our average response time is 20-30 minutes across the Twin Cities metro. Minneapolis and inner-ring suburbs like Edina, St. Louis Park, and Richfield are typically 15-25 minutes. Outer suburbs like Woodbury, Eden Prairie, and Maple Grove are 25-35 minutes. We always send the nearest available technician and provide live ETA updates via text.

+ Do you charge more for emergency calls at night or on weekends?

Yes — there is an after-hours surcharge for calls between 9 PM and 7 AM, weekends, and holidays. However, unlike many locksmiths, we do NOT double our prices. Our after-hours surcharge is a flat $30-$40 added to our standard service fee. We always disclose the full price before dispatching a technician — no surprises when we arrive.

+ Can you unlock my car if the keys are locked inside?

Absolutely. Car lockouts are one of our most common emergency calls. We use professional air wedges and long-reach tools to unlock your car without damaging the door, weather stripping, or paint. Most car lockouts take 5-15 minutes. We handle all makes and models, including luxury and European vehicles.

+ Do I need to provide ID before you unlock my property?

Yes — this is non-negotiable for your protection and ours. For home lockouts, we require a driver's license and proof of address (mail, lease, or neighbor verification). For car lockouts, we require a driver's license and vehicle registration. For business lockouts, we require business ID or authorization from the owner. We will not unlock any property without proof of ownership or residency.

+ What if I'm locked out and don't have my ID inside the house?

This happens often — your ID is inside the locked house or car. We can still help. For home lockouts, we may ask for a neighbor to verify you live there, or we can use mail visible through a window, or we can unlock the door first and verify ID once inside. For car lockouts, we can verify via vehicle registration from the glove box after unlocking. We're reasonable and understand emergency situations.

+ Do you offer emergency services for apartments and rental properties?

Yes — but we require permission from the property owner, property manager, or a current leaseholder on the agreement. If you're a tenant locked out of your apartment, we can help if you have a lease with your name and the property address. We cannot unlock a tenant's unit without proper verification to protect landlord and tenant rights.

+ What forms of payment do you accept for emergency calls?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), debit cards, cash, Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal. Payment is due at the time of service. We do not offer billing or invoicing for emergency residential or automotive calls — only for established commercial accounts with signed agreements.

+ Do you service emergencies in bad weather or extreme cold?

Yes — Minnesota weather doesn't stop us. We operate 24/7 in rain, snow, ice, and sub-zero temperatures. Our vehicles are equipped for winter conditions, and our technicians dress appropriately to work outdoors. In extreme cold, we prioritize car lockouts and home lockouts to get you out of the elements as quickly as possible.

+ What if I call and no one answers?

We have live dispatchers 24/7/365. If you get voicemail or an automated message, that means we're experiencing extremely high call volume. Hang up and call again immediately, or text our emergency line at 763-269-7916 with your location and situation. We will respond within 2-3 minutes.

+ Can you help if my keys are locked inside a running car?

Yes — but this is a higher-risk situation. If your car is running and locked, we prioritize this call. We will work quickly to unlock the door and retrieve your keys. Do NOT leave a running car unattended in a public area if possible. If you're nearby, stay with the vehicle while you wait for us.

LOCKED OUT? NEED HELP? NOW?

Don't wait. Don't try to break in yourself.
