By the Peoria Locksmith Store team ยท Updated

Holidays bring visitors, travel and busy schedules, and lockouts. Here's what to know if you need a locksmith on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Day.

Yes, but ask the right questions

Many mobile locksmiths answer calls on holidays. Before you book, ask whether a holiday surcharge applies and what the total is likely to be. Our listed policy at Peoria Locksmith Store is no extra charge for holiday calls.

Why holiday lockouts are common

  • Extra guests borrowing keys
  • Hurried trips out to the store
  • Travel, with keys left at home or lost on the road
  • Rental properties and short-term stays with unfamiliar locks

Before you travel

  • Leave a spare key with a trusted neighbour, not under the mat.
  • Check that all exterior locks and sliding doors lock properly.
  • If you've lent keys to house sitters, consider rekeying afterwards.
  • Save your locksmith's number in your phone.

Hosting guests

A keypad deadbolt with temporary codes saves cutting extra keys for visitors, and you can delete the codes once they leave. Ask about smart lock installation.
