For a building lockout, call the shop with the property type, affected entrance and your role. Confirm current availability and any required permission before arranging assistance.

Explain whether the lockout involves an individual room, a unit entrance or a shared building entrance. Say whether a key is missing, remains inside or is no longer operating the lock; there is no need to attempt an opening technique yourself.

If a property manager or owner controls the entrance, identify that contact when speaking with the shop. Confirm who can authorize the work, the exact location and the service arrangement. Avoid sharing entry codes or identifying security details until staff confirm what they need.

## Identify the entrance

A unit door and a shared entrance need different context.

## Identify authorization

Explain who is responsible for the property and access.

## Questions and answers

### Can I arrange assistance for a shared building entrance?

Tell the shop that the entrance is shared and identify the owner or manager responsible for it. The team needs to confirm the requested work and authorization before making arrangements.
