Decision guide
Describe the access point clearly
A lockout request should name the property or vehicle type, the specific door or compartment, and the authorization available to request access. Mention unusual conditions such as a damaged key, a turning cylinder, a latch problem, a managed lobby, or a gated arrival route. Avoid sending passwords, entry codes, or sensitive documents in the web form.
Service decision guide
Lockout Service planning without guesswork
Start with the real goal
A lockout request should identify the authorized occupant, the exact entry involved, and whether anyone or anything faces an immediate safety risk.
What requires individual review
Describe whether the door is simply closed, the key is missing, or the hardware appears damaged. Do not force the door or use improvised bypass tools; visible damage and access conditions change the assessment.
Palo Alto request context
Note whether access is from a residence, managed building, retail frontage, office, campus, parking structure, or vehicle location. Include gate, reception, loading, parking, or property-management procedures. These practical facts help route the request without claiming that a particular service, part, time, or outcome is already confirmed.
Lockout Service question
What information helps with a lockout request?
The property or vehicle type, authorization context, lock style, observable condition, and safe access notes help frame an individual review.
Next step

Share useful observations and photos when safe. Do not send alarm codes, safe combinations, key-cut codes, complete identity documents, or payment-card information in the initial message.
