If the locksmith Las Vegas service provider can't use the wedge-like tool, they will in most cases go to the tool-bag for the picking tools. In most instances, if the locksmith has the experience needed and the lock is not what would be considered high security. The locksmith will be able to use the picking tools to unlock the deadbolt. I would go as far as saying that the locksmith has a 90% chance to unlock the home by using the picking method. 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

If all fails, your Las Vegas locksmith does have the solution. But this should only be done if the lock is not pick-able and the wedge tool is not an option. The method is drilling the deadbolt off the door. This is done by drilling two small holes where the locks screws are holding the lock together. And even though you can't see these screws from the outside, any locksmith that is a professional knows exactly where they are. This will not damage the door and will not create any problems as long as you hired a decent proficient locksmith in las Vegas. 

On a final note; No person should ever have locksmith tools or tools that could be used to unlock doors without having the proper license. It is a felony to carry tools that could be use to commit crimes in some cities or counties. All locksmith las Vegas personal must have a locksmith ID from the police department so the locksmith could be clearly verified.

How Do Las Vegas Locksmiths Handle Home Lockouts? 

The first thing that any locksmith las Vegas service provider has to do is make sure the home belongs to the person that is trying to hire them to unlock the home. This can get tricky as if the person that is calling the Las Vegas locksmith is up to no good the locksmith could be held responsible. As a rule the locksmith does have some available steps to their advantage. The Las Vegas county records has been published as public record. This allows the locksmith in las Vegas to cross reference the name listed on the property against the customer's address on their ID. 

Some Las Vegas locksmiths will ask renters for their lease agreement but me personally will not accept that. If you're a renter I will only accept the lockout job if the Property Management will take steps to confirm your residence, but that can get tricky (In fact if a Property Management group is responsible they should have a locksmith that they are already working with).

So how do most locksmith unlock doors? 

There's three common methods that most Las Vegas locksmiths use. The first one is used on lockout when the locksmith is not dealing with deadbolts. These locks are known as latch lock. When dealing with a lockout that has a latch lock you just need the tongue mechanism to be pushed back in. So the method consists of using a tool that can wedge in between the door and the frame. In most cases this is the fastest type of lockout.
