Sort the call before you make it
Some situations belong to 911: a child or pet shut in a car or house, a person inside who needs help, or any danger to you. A locksmith tonight makes sense when there is no safe, cool place to wait, or when a break-in has left a door that won't latch. If you can spend the night with family or at a friend's, a daytime visit avoids the surcharge entirely.
Summer nights here aren't mild
From 2016 to 2025, Sky Harbor averaged 19 nights a year when the low never fell below 90°F, along with 120 days at 100°F or more (NOAA). A lockout at 11 p.m. in July can still be dangerous heat. Skip the wait on the front step. A neighbor's house, a gas station or an all-night grocery with air conditioning is a better place to be when the locksmith calls back.
