Locked out of a home or business, a key snapped in the lock or a lock that has seized: entry with the least damage, then the door secured again.

Checking a smart or keypad lock before opening it
Electronic locks get their own set of questions. Is the keypad completely dead or just refusing the code? Are there battery contacts on the outside that accept a nine-volt battery for a temporary boost?
Is there a mechanical override cylinder behind a cover, and does anyone hold the key for it? Is the lock paired to an app that could unlock it from a phone, and has the phone been factory reset lately? These checks decide whether the door can be opened by simply restoring power, by using the override cylinder, or by treating it like any other lock. It also tells the locksmith what to reset once you are inside.
