Emergency lockouts in Corunna don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Squire Locksmith runs 24/7 emergency response across Shiawassee County, from the courthouse-adjacent storefronts downtown to the farmsteads on the rural 48817 parcels. If you’re locked out of your house on M-71 or your barn door deadbolt has seized on a January morning, call (866) 361-1189. We quote the full price on the phone before dispatch, and that’s the price on the invoice.
Why Squire Locksmith Is Corunna’s Preferred Emergency Locksmith Company
Most locksmiths treat Corunna like a small town on the way to somewhere bigger. We don’t. We know this is the Shiawassee County seat, which means we get calls from municipal offices near the courthouse at the same time we get calls from rural property owners whose nearest neighbor is half a mile down the road. That split shapes how we stock our trucks and how we plan a service route.
Glen Kowalski started Squire Locksmith to cover the full hardware spectrum, from consumer Schlage and Kwikset cylinders to high-security Medeco and Mul-T-Lock lines. Corunna homeowners and business owners don’t need a locksmith who will drill a door and leave. They need someone who can actually fix the lock. Our reputation in the area comes from showing up prepared, being straight about price, and leaving hardware working better than we found it. Call (866) 361-1189 and we’ll tell you exactly what to expect.

Our Emergency Locksmith Services in Corunna
24/7 Emergency Lockout
We run lockout calls around the clock in Corunna and the surrounding townships. A typical house lockout in the 48817 area runs $89 – $149 for a standard non-destructive entry. That’s the range, not a teaser. Rural farmstead calls on longer service drives cost more because of the drive, and we’ll confirm that before anyone leaves our shop. Call (866) 361-1189 and we’ll give you the exact number while you’re still on the phone.
Broken Key Extraction
Broken keys happen more in Michigan than most places because metal fatigue compounds with cold weather. We’ve pulled snapped key halves from Schlage deadbolts on McNeil Street, Kwikset entry sets on rural acreage, and plenty of barn padlocks that haven’t been serviced in a decade. Extraction in Corunna typically runs $85 – $150, and if we can, we’ll cut a replacement key on site so the lock isn’t left half-working.
Safe Opening
We open residential and small commercial safes. In a county-seat town, that often means a law office safe near the courthouse, a gun safe in a rural farmhouse, or a floor safe someone inherited with an old house. Safe opening in the Corunna area ranges $175 – $400 depending on the lock type, safe age, and whether we need to bore or manipulate the dial. We give you the full number on the phone before we dispatch.
Eviction Lock Change
For property owners in Corunna and the rural townships, an eviction lock change means more than swapping a cylinder. It’s about making sure only the right person has keys. We rekey or replace locks fast and at a flat per-lock rate so you know the total before we arrive. If you’ve got a multi-unit or a farmhouse with outbuildings, we can key everything alike in one visit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Corunna
From Schlage to Medeco, we know your lock. Squire Locksmith works on eight major lock brands, including high-security Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, and Sargent. In Corunna, that means we can rekey a downtown storefront’s vintage mortise lock and a farmhouse’s Schlage deadbolt without treating either one like a generic job. Call (866) 361-1189 and tell us what’s on your door, whether it’s a Kwikset knob from the hardware store or a Medeco deadbolt a previous owner installed. We’ll bring the right pins and parts the first time.
Common Emergency Locksmith Problems We See in Corunna Homes
- Freeze-thaw lock seizures. Michigan’s winter swings freeze the tiny tolerances inside exterior deadbolts, then condensation refreezes overnight. You go to turn the key on a February morning and the plug won’t rotate. We see it on older Schlage and Kwikset cylinders every cold season across Corunna.
- Worn mortise locks in pre-war houses. Corunna’s in-town housing stock is heavy with pre-war and mid-century homes, and many still carry their original mortise locks. After decades of use, the internal levers and springs bind. We service those vintage cylinders rather than drilling them out. It preserves the door and the hardware.
- Seized barn, shed, and gate padlocks. On rural acreage, outbuilding hardware takes more weather than anything on the house. Freeze-thaw, summer humidity, and zero maintenance leave those padlocks corroded and the keys no longer turning. We cut or pick them, then install outdoor-grade replacements.
- Key snapped in an exterior door. Cold-stressed metal keys break at the worst time, half of it still in the cylinder. We extract the broken piece without ruining the lock and cut a fresh key right there, so the door works before we leave.

FAQs – Emergency Locksmith in Corunna
Yes. In fact, this is exactly the kind of call we plan around. On rural 48817 parcels, we regularly rekey a house’s Schlage deadbolt and then work through the barn, shed, and gate locks so one key works everything. That’s the smart move for anyone who’s ever fumbled with three different keys in a Michigan winter. Call (866) 361-1189 for a per-cylinder quote.
Probably not. We service vintage mortise locks in the courthouse-adjacent buildings along the main downtown blocks rather than going straight to a drill. In most cases, we can pick or mechanically release the jam, then clean and lubricate the cylinder so it keeps working. Drilling is the last resort, never the first move.
Freeze-thaw cycles push condensation into the lock body, where it freezes and expands around the pins and springs. The door frame also swells and settles, throwing the bolt slightly out of alignment. Once we service the cylinder and align the strike plate, the sticking usually stops. It’s a seasonal maintenance issue more than a broken lock.
Yes, we cover outbuilding locks across the rural 48817 zones around Corunna. Barn padlocks and workshop deadbolts sit in unheated structures, so they corrode and snap keys more often than anything on a house. We extract the broken piece, clean or replace the lock, and can rekey it to match your house while we’re there.
Yes. Our emergency lockout service runs 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, throughout Corunna and the surrounding rural townships. Night calls carry no extra surcharge beyond the standard rural drive adjustment if you’re outside the city limits. Call (866) 361-1189 and we’ll be honest about timing and price before we roll.
