SEOUL · 24H EMERGENCY LOCKSMITH

Locked out?
We come to you.

Any district in Seoul, any hour. Doors opened without damage, digital locks repaired or replaced, car keys cut, safes opened. Working since 2015.

About language. We work in Korean. The easiest way to reach us is a text message with your address — we translate it and it works reliably. Calling is fine too: we use live call translation, and switch to text if it gets stuck. Most jobs need almost no talking: you send the address, we arrive, we open the door.

WELCOME TO KOREA

Welcome to Korea.
What visitors ask us most

Travelling in Seoul and something won't open? These are the two calls we get most from visitors.

1. My suitcase or bag is locked and won't open

Many people try to work the TSA keyhole themselves. Most of these locks are plastic, and once they break, the repair costs more. If it won't open, contact us right away.

To avoid it: when you set a new combination, test it a few times with the lock still open before you close it.

2. The door of my guesthouse or hotel won't open

We can come out. For your safety, before we start we will ask you to confirm two things in front of us:

  • Your relationship with the host: show your booking confirmation or your messages with the host.
  • Your relationship with the place: the name on the booking must match your passport or ID.

Jongno, Jung, Yongsan~20 min
Gangnam, Seocho~20 min

HOW TO REACH US

Three steps

  1. Text 010-5642-4757. A message is better than a call if you are not comfortable speaking Korean. International format: +82-10-5642-4757.
  2. Send your address and a photo of the door. If you cannot write the address in Korean, drop a pin in Google Maps or Naver Map and share that — it works just as well. The photo of the door tells us which tools to bring, which saves a second trip.
  3. We reply with a price and an arrival time. You decide then. Asking costs nothing and you are not committed by getting a quote.
BEFORE WE COME

What to have ready

Opening a door is something we will only do for someone who has the right to go inside. It is a nuisance when it is your own door — but it is the same rule that protects your home when you are not standing in front of it.

Your own homeID + lease or mail in your name
Foreign residentPassport or ARC + lease or mail
A family member's homeProof of relation, or police present
Guesthouse, Airbnb, hotelContact the host or owner first
No documents at allWe can work with police present

Mail counts if it has your name and that address on it — a utility bill, a management fee notice, even a delivery slip.

OUR LIMITS

What we will not do

If your documents are difficult, say so on the phone. Working with police present is a normal route, not a last resort.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

Do you speak English?

We work in Korean, but language is not a problem. You can call us — we use live call translation on the phone — and if it gets stuck we switch to text messages and translate them. Sending your address by text is still the quickest start. Most jobs need almost no conversation: you send the address, we arrive, we open the door.

I forgot my suitcase combination. Can you open it?

Yes. We come to where you are staying anywhere in Seoul (hotel, guesthouse or Airbnb) and open combination or key locks on suitcases and travel bags. From 30,000 KRW (VAT excluded), call-out included. Please don't force the TSA keyhole yourself: most of these locks are plastic, and a broken one costs more to fix. Text your address and a photo of the lock to +82-10-5642-4757.

The door of my guesthouse or hotel won't open

We can come out. Before we start, you confirm two things in front of us: your relationship with the host (booking confirmation or messages with the host) and your relationship with the place (the name on the booking matches your passport or ID).

How much does it cost to open a locked door?

From 30,000 KRW, VAT excluded. The call-out is included — there is no separate travel charge. A safe starts at 100,000 KRW. The final price depends on the lock and the condition of the door, and we tell you the estimate before starting.

How fast can you get here?

Roughly 15 to 30 minutes depending on the district, in normal traffic. We are based in Dongjak-gu and cover all 25 districts of Seoul, 24 hours a day, including nights, weekends and public holidays.

Will my door be damaged?

We try non-destructive entry first, as a standing rule. Most doors open with no damage at all. If a lock genuinely cannot be opened without damage, we tell you before we start.

What do I need to show you?

Photo ID plus something linking your name to that address — a lease, a utility bill, or posted mail. For foreign residents a passport or ARC works as the ID. If you cannot prove it, we can still do the job with police present. We do not open doors for people who cannot show the right to enter.

How can I pay?

Cash or Korean bank transfer. WeChat Pay, Alipay and similar apps are difficult for us to accept.

I'm in a guesthouse or an Airbnb and I'm locked out.

Contact your host or the building owner first. We need their agreement before opening a door you are renting short-term.
