Commercial lockouts here divide by the hour more cleanly than by the building. The early ones come from the yards, the sheds and the cold stores on the south and east edges of town, where the day begins before five and a door that will not turn holds a crew and a load rather than one person. The late ones come from the shops on the old main street and the units along the highway, discovered at lock-up rather than at opening.
Both are ordinary work and both carry the same $40 on top, because four to seven in the morning and eight to midnight are priced identically on this site. Only after midnight does it become $70. That is deliberate: the shift that starts before dawn is the working half of this town, not an exception to be surcharged.
Before anything opens, entitlement is settled: a lease page, a badge, a business licence or the owner on the phone. It takes a minute and it is the reason a locksmith is worth calling rather than somebody who will open anything for cash. Where a lock turns out to be finished rather than jammed, the replacement is quoted then and there against the published range rather than folded in quietly.
The visit is $135 to $239 with the $89 service call inside it. A single personnel door in daylight sits at the low end; a padlocked yard gate plus the door behind it, or a cold store door with heavier gear, moves it up. One boundary said plainly: the roll-up bay mechanism, its motor and its springs are a different trade, and so are irrigation timers and the electrics on a powered gate. The personnel door, the padlock, the gate lock and the cylinder are ours.
“Personnel door on the shed would not turn at ten past five and a load was going out at six. That is not one person waiting, that is nine. He was there in twelve minutes, had it open without damage, and put a new cylinder in the same visit. $214 quoted on the phone and $214 charged.”

FAQ
Business Lockout: quick answers
Our shed door will not turn and the load goes at six.+
Say that on the call, because it changes the order of the day. It is $135 to $239 with the early $40 inside it, and if the cylinder is finished rather than jammed the replacement happens on the same visit rather than on a second trip.
I run the crew, not the business. Will you still open it?+
Yes, with something that connects you to the place: a badge, a work order, a lease page, or the owner on the phone for thirty seconds. On a shed at five in the morning that is usually one call to somebody already awake, and it is the reason a locksmith is worth ringing rather than somebody who opens anything for cash.
Is the roll-up bay something you handle?+
The padlocks, the keyed personnel door beside it and any gate lock in the yard, yes. The bay mechanism, its motor and its springs are a different trade. Describe which one has stopped you and you will know before anybody drives out whether the visit is worth making.

Four to seven in the morning costs what an evening costs and less than a night, and whatever hour it is, the number comes back on the call with the $89 visit already inside it — and it is the number on the receipt.
