If you’re locked out in Beaverton right now, here’s the short answer: an emergency locksmith can typically reach most Beaverton neighborhoods in 30 to 45 minutes, and a standard lockout runs $95 to $165 before any hardware work. Commodore Locksmith handles urgent calls across 97075, 97076, 97077, and 97003 day and night. When a deadbolt won’t throw on a rain-swollen door off Canyon Road or a key snaps in a 1990s apartment lock near Murray Blvd, you need someone who knows Beaverton’s buildings, not just locks in general. Call (855) 473-5097 and we’ll get you back inside without wrecking the door in the process.
Key takeaways:
- We reach most Beaverton neighborhoods in 30 to 45 minutes for emergencies.
- We do non-destructive entry first, which matters when the door belongs to a property management company, not you.
- We work on restricted key systems, including Medeco and Mul-T-Lock setups common in Beaverton apartment corridors.
- Everything is quoted before anyone heads your way, and the quote you get is the price on the invoice.
Why Commodore Locksmith Is Beaverton’s Preferred Emergency Locksmith Company
Beaverton doesn’t have one kind of door. In the same afternoon, we go from a 1958 ranch with original mortise hardware near downtown to a 2001 apartment complex off SW Murray Blvd with a Medeco master key system. That’s why our Emergency Locksmith team carries what the job actually calls for, from standard pin-and-tumbler picks to high-security tools rated for restricted cylinders. We’re not a van with a drill and a spare Kwikset knob. We’re a full-spectrum lock shop that happens to be on call all night.
Glen Macready built Commodore Locksmith around a simple idea: if you can pick a Medeco, a Schlage is not going to slow you down. That range matters in Beaverton, where a renter locked out of a 97006 apartment and a homeowner with a swollen deadbolt off Allen Blvd need entirely different solutions, sometimes on the same night.

Our Emergency Locksmith Services in Beaverton
24/7 Emergency Lockout
Locked out at 2 a.m. off Cedar Hills Blvd? We handle it. A locked-out tenant in a Beaverton apartment complex calls us because they need back in without a hole drilled through a door they don’t own. We pick locks non-destructively whenever the cylinder allows it, which means the freeholder’s hardware stays intact and you don’t get a bill for a new doorknob on top of the service call.

Lock Picking
Most lockouts in Beaverton do not require drilling. A standard Kwikset service in Beaverton or Schlage deadbolt on a single-family home usually picks open in minutes with the right tools and a steady hand. That keeps your original key working and your hardware untouched. In apartment and condo settings, non-destructive picking is even more important: many Beaverton buildings use restricted key systems, and drilling a cylinder there means the property manager has to order a replacement from the lock manufacturer, which can take weeks and cost far more than the service call ever would.

Broken Key Extraction
Keys snap. It happens more in Beaverton than people expect, and the long rainy season is part of why. Moisture works into exterior locks on older homes and apartments, corroding the cylinder pins over time. A key that’s been stiff for months finally gives out on a wet November evening, and now half of it is stuck in the deadbolt. We extract broken keys from Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Baldwin, and Medeco cylinders, then check whether the lock itself needs service so it doesn’t happen again next month.

Eviction Lock Change
Property managers and landlords across Beaverton call us for eviction lock changes in apartments, townhomes, and rental houses. The process is straightforward: we remove the existing cylinder, rekey it to a new key, and hand you the keys on site. If the building runs on a master key system, we cut new keys that fit the building’s key control, so the super’s key still works while the old tenant’s key is dead. We serve multifamily properties throughout 97006 and 97007, where turn-related rekeys are constant.
Trusted Brands We Service in Beaverton
We’re certified on eight lock brands, and the ones that come up most in Beaverton are Kwikset and Schlage on older single-family homes, plus Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Baldwin in apartments and higher-end properties. A restricted Medeco key in a 97007 complex is not something you copy at a hardware store, and servicing that cylinder takes specific training and tooling. We carry replacement pins, springs, and cylinders for the brands we service, so we’re not making a special trip to a supplier before we can finish your job. That’s what “high-security brands, handled right” means in practice.
Common Emergency Locksmith Problems We See in Beaverton Homes
Beaverton’s housing stock creates specific failure patterns. Here’s what we run into most often, and why it’s rarely just “the lock is broken”:
- Rain-swollen doors in older ranch homes. In the wet months, doors in 1950s-70s houses near downtown Beaverton absorb moisture and expand. The deadbolt latch no longer lines up with the strike plate, so the bolt won’t throw, or worse, the door won’t open even when the lock turns. This is a hardware alignment problem as much as a lock problem, and a locksmith who just forces the door risks splitting the frame.
- Corroded cylinders from sustained moisture. Months of PNW rain work into exterior locks on homes without a storm door or adequate overhang. Keys get stiff, then start sticking, then one evening the key refuses to turn at all. We see this cycle every fall, and cleaning or replacing the cylinder early prevents the 11 p.m. call.
- Restricted key issues in 97006/97007 apartment complexes. When a tenant loses a Medeco key in a building with restricted key control, this isn’t a simple “make another key” problem. The cylinder needs rekeying and the building’s key control needs updating so the lost key is formally dead. We handle that end-to-end.
- Broken keys in weathered locks on rental properties. Rental units in Beaverton change hands often, and tenants sometimes force a worn key in a corroded lock. The key snaps, and now there’s a brass fragment wedged in a cylinder controlled by a property manager who doesn’t want the door drilled. Non-destructive extraction solves this.
Pricing for Emergency Locksmith in Beaverton, OR
Here are honest numbers for the Beaverton market. A standard lockout on a single-family home in Beaverton typically runs $95 to $165, depending on time of day and which side of 217 you’re on. Broken key extraction adds $35 to $75 on top of the service call. Rekeying a deadbolt or doorknob runs $25 to $45 per cylinder, and if the building uses restricted keys like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock, expect $55 to $90 per restricted key. Eviction lock changes usually land between $85 and $150 for one or two cylinders, with additional doors priced per lock.
What affects the cost: the time of night, how many cylinders you need rekeyed, and whether the hardware is consumer-grade or restricted. We quote the full price on the phone before anyone is dispatched to Beaverton, and there is no surprise surcharge added when the van arrives. The number you hear is the number on the invoice. Call (855) 473-5097 for a straight answer on your specific situation.

FAQs – Emergency Locksmith in Beaverton
Yes, and this is our default approach. For most apartment doors in Beaverton, we pick the lock open without drilling, leaving the cylinder, door, and frame untouched. That matters because a drilled cylinder on a property-managed door often means the freeholder has to replace hardware out of their own pocket, and you’ll likely see that charge passed along. Non-destructive entry keeps everyone out of that mess. Call (855) 473-5097 and mention you’re a tenant, and we’ll walk you through what to expect.
Don’t try to fish it out yourself with tweezers or a screwdriver. That usually pushes the broken piece deeper or damages the cylinder pins, and then a simple extraction becomes a cylinder replacement. We remove broken keys from Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Baldwin, and Medeco locks using proper extraction tools. If the lock shows signs of corrosion or wear, we’ll tell you whether it’s worth rekeying or replacing at the same visit. Call (855) 473-5097 and we’ll head your way.
Very common. Beaverton’s wet season swells wood doors, particularly on older ranches and split-levels in the 97005 and 97003 areas near downtown. The deadbolt latch stops aligning with the strike plate, so the bolt either won’t throw or won’t retract. Sometimes the fix is a simple strike plate adjustment or a hinge tightening. Other times the cylinder itself is corroded from months of moisture and needs rebuilding or replacing. Either way, this is a routine seasonal service call for us. Get an exact quote at (855) 473-5097.
Yes. Restricted key systems, which are common in Beaverton’s 97006 and 97007 apartment corridors, mean keys can’t legally be copied without authorization from the building’s key control. When we unlock a unit in one of these buildings, we work within that system: non-destructive entry first, then rekeying or key replacement through the proper restricted channels. We’re certified on Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and other restricted platforms, so the building’s master key structure stays valid. Call (855) 473-5097 and tell us what building you’re in; we’ve probably worked there before.
That’s exactly what rekeying is for. We remove the cylinder, swap the internal pins so only the new key operates the lock, and hand you new keys on the spot. If your building uses a master key system, we cut new keys that fit within that structure, so the property manager’s key still works while every old tenant key is permanently dead. Expect $25 to $45 per standard cylinder, and $55 to $90 per restricted key on systems like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock. Call (855) 473-5097 for a firm quote on your specific door.
We got a call from a tenant in a 1990s apartment complex off SW Murray Blvd in the 97007 corridor who was locked out of her unit. The property manager told us the building used a Medeco master key system, so we used non-destructive entry to pick the deadbolt without drilling. Then we rekeyed the cylinder to a new restricted key and updated the master key system so the old tenant key no longer worked. The door and frame were left untouched, and the freeholder’s hardware stayed under warranty. That’s the standard we hold in Beaverton: fix the lock, preserve the door, respect the key system.
