Need help with a lock?

Tell us exactly what's happening at the door.

When you're locked out, it helps to know whether the door simply closed behind you, whether it was locked with a key and whether you still have a key.

For a broken or damaged lock, send a close-up photo if possible. That gives us more information before the details are confirmed.
