Locked Out of Your Garage? We Provide Fast, 24/7 Emergency Garage Lockout Service

Few things are more frustrating than being locked out of your garage—especially when it happens unexpectedly. Whether it’s due to a power outage, a broken opener, a jammed manual lock, or lost keys or remotes, the result is the same: you can’t get in when you need to.

At 313 Garage Doors, we provide fast, safe, and damage-free emergency garage lockout service for both residential and commercial properties across Metro Detroit. Our expert technicians are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help you regain access quickly—without harming your door or system.

Whether it’s early morning, after work, late at night, or during a holiday—we’ll be there.


What Is a Garage Lockout?

A garage lockout occurs when you are unable to open your garage door using your usual methods—whether from outside, inside, or both.

This can happen in a wide range of scenarios:

  • The opener doesn’t respond to the remote, keypad, or wall button

  • You’ve lost your remote and have no manual key backup

  • The garage door is manually locked and you don’t have the key

  • A power outage prevents smart or electric opener function

  • The door is frozen or jammed shut from weather conditions

  • A manual release was accidentally engaged, locking you out

  • You’re locked out of the home entirely, and the garage is the only entry

  • Keypad code was changed, and you don’t have the updated access

  • Spring or cable failure disables door movement from outside

  • Smart garage app or WiFi connection is down, locking you out remotely

Whatever the cause, our technicians have the tools, training, and experience to get you back in safely—and quickly.


Residential Garage Lockout Services

If your garage door is the main access point to your home—and you’re locked out—it’s more than inconvenient. It can become a serious issue:

  • Your car is stuck inside or you’re locked out of the house

  • You’re late for work or appointments

  • You’re exposed to weather or darkness outside

  • Children, pets, or elderly family members may be inside without access

  • You need to retrieve essential tools or emergency supplies

We understand how stressful this can be, especially during off-hours. That’s why we provide 24/7 residential garage lockout services, including:

  • Safe manual override to open the door

  • Emergency battery support for opener systems

  • Lockout access without drilling or damaging the door

  • Keyless entry resets for digital systems

  • Weather-related door freeze-thaw solutions

  • Non-destructive re-entry with manual tools


Commercial Garage Lockout Services

Businesses rely on timely access to their commercial doors. If you or your staff are locked out of a facility, loading dock, service entrance, or utility area—it can quickly lead to:

  • Lost productivity

  • Missed deliveries

  • Shipping or receiving delays

  • Security risks

  • Customer service issues

  • Revenue loss

We provide emergency garage lockout services for commercial clients, including:

  • Roll-up and sectional overhead doors

Whether you’re locked out of your storefront, warehouse, or auto repair bay—we’ll get access restored with minimal disruption to your business.


Why Garage Door Lockouts Happen

Garage door systems are designed to be convenient—but they depend on a complex mix of mechanical and digital components that can fail unexpectedly.

Here are the most common causes of lockouts:

Mechanical Failures:

  • Rusted or jammed manual locks

  • Seized rollers or misaligned tracks

  • Broken torsion or extension springs

  • Snapped cables preventing door lift

  • Disconnected release rope

Electrical or Smart Technology Failures:

  • Power outage with no backup

  • Remote control battery failure

  • Opener circuit board malfunction

  • WiFi or app disconnect

  • Keypad failure or forgotten code

User Errors or Accidents:

  • Keys locked inside

  • Manual lock accidentally engaged

  • Attempted force causing jamming

  • Damaged remote from impact or moisture

  • Locking house and forgetting garage is only entry
