If it's easy to transport, take it to [Columbus Locksport at the Idea Foundry tonight](https://www.meetup.com/li-columbus/). They'll at least try to open it for free just for the challenge.

Like /u/cleansoap mentioned, check youtube. If you have a Sentry 1100, it looks like you can open it with a lot of household items, including a penny apparently.

We used AAD Security Locksmith last week when the latch on my door stopped working, making it impossible to open the back door. She got great Angie's List reviews and did an excellent, affordable job. Her number is 614-596-8436.

spock2312 replied:
You can always just buy new locks at Lowe's or Home Depot and switch them out. If you buy the same brand and style, all you need is a screw driver and trade the locks.
AutoModerator replied:
Sounds like you're looking for a locksmith.
If you just need a copy of your car keys, many hardware stores now do automotive chip keys and FOBs, including [Zettler](https://zettler.doitbest.com/), [Roush](https://roushhardware.doitbest.com/) [ACE](https://www.acehardware.com/), and of course [Lowe's](https://www.lowes.com/) and [Home Depot](https://www.homedepot.com). If you have a more complicated chip key, the [Key Dude](https://www.facebook.com/Keydude-LLC-118907331553157/) has been [recommended](https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbus/comments/44r976/ne_inexpensive_place_to_get_vehicle_key_cut/) by users in the past as an alternative to going through your dealership.
If you need a locksmith for just about any other reason (we assume you're asking because [AAA](https://www.aaa.com) doesn't work for your situation), the following are highly rated on Google: [Carl Zipf](https://www.carlzipflockshop.com/), [Snap & Crack](https://www.snapandcracklocksmith.com/) (does emergency lockouts), [All Secured Security Services](http://www.allsecured.net/) (also does emergencies), and [24 Hour Locksmiths](http://www.24hourlocksmithincolumbusoh.com/).
If you've got something neat and out of the ordinary, check out the local [Columbus lockpicking group](https://www.meetup.com/li-columbus/) and ask them nicely if they're up to the challenge.

Too sane. http://www.carlzipflockshop.com/
Brad F. replied:
Cubiclekeys.com. Mail order. Just look at the number on the front of the lock, type it in and POOF...the key will be mailed to you. Also, sorry to ruin the idea that your file cabinet is "secure." In fact, I already ordered the key and have the files ready for you. Just kiddin'.

I've locked myself out before, too. I decided that a new window would cost less than a locksmith, so I broke back in. No regrets.
montereyo replied:
Dude, I don't think it's unreasonable at *all* to wait an hour for a locksmith. If he's elsewhere with another customer, what do you expect him to do? Teleport?

Sorry, OP. I only know dishonest locksmiths. I'm glad you got back inside.
