Short answer: If you are locked out of your home, work through the calm options first: try every exterior door and accessible window, check for a spare with a neighbor or in a lockbox, and see whether a smart lock can be opened from your phone. If none of that works, call a licensed locksmith rather than forcing a door.
A lockout is stressful, but a calm, safe approach gets you back inside without damage.
First, check every door and accessible window, and confirm a key is not with a neighbor or in a lockbox. Avoid forcing a door or breaking a window, the repair usually costs more than the lockout service.
A licensed locksmith can get you in quickly without damaging the lock, and rekey it on the spot if you have lost your keys. Call and we will dispatch help fast.

A licensed locksmith's normal method is non-destructive: picking or bypassing the lock so the same hardware still works afterward. Drilling is a last resort for high-security or seized cylinders, and a good locksmith tells you before doing it. Forcing a door yourself is what usually causes real damage.
No. Glass replacement and frame repair almost always exceed a lockout service call, and broken glass causes injuries during entry. A visibly patched window also advertises a weak point to anyone passing. Call a licensed locksmith instead, or your landlord or property manager if you rent.
Ask. A legitimate locksmith gives a company name and a price range on the phone, arrives in a marked vehicle, provides identification, and is licensed and insured with documentation available on request. Be wary of anyone who quotes very low by phone and then raises the figure on arrival.
If the keys are genuinely lost rather than locked inside, rekey the locks. Lost keys carrying an address or a fob are a real security exposure. A locksmith can rekey the existing cylinders during the same visit, so the old keys stop working and you keep your hardware.
