Lock Changing & Lockout Services
Once the court grants a writ of possession, the final step is taking back your property. Rocket Eviction coordinates licensed locksmiths to execute the lockout quickly and lawfully — so you can re-rent without delay.
What Our Lock Changing Service Includes
We handle every aspect of the physical lockout, coordinating with licensed locksmiths and ensuring all steps are taken in compliance with Nevada law and court orders.
Writ of Possession Coordination
We work with the constable or sheriff to schedule the lockout in compliance with the court-issued writ. No steps are taken until the legal authority is in place.
Licensed Locksmith Services
We coordinate licensed Nevada locksmiths to change all exterior locks — ensuring the property is secured and all previous keys are rendered inoperable.
Property Walkthrough Documentation
At the time of lockout, we document the property condition with photos and notes — protecting you from future claims of damage or missing items by the former tenant.
The Legal Lockout Process in Nevada
Changing locks without proper legal authority exposes landlords to serious liability. Here is how the process works under Nevada law.
Court Issues Writ of Possession
After a successful eviction hearing, the court issues a Writ of Possession authorizing the constable or sheriff to remove the tenant and restore possession to the landlord.
Constable Posts Notice
Nevada law requires the constable to post notice at the property giving the tenant a final opportunity to vacate before the lockout is executed.
Lockout Executed
On the scheduled date, the constable is present while we coordinate the locksmith to change all locks and secure the property. The landlord is restored possession.
Property Documented and Secured
We document the condition of the property at the time of lockout and provide you with new keys. The property is yours to re-rent, repair, or resell.
Never Change Locks Without Legal Authority
Self-Help Evictions Are Illegal in Nevada
Changing locks, removing doors, or shutting off utilities to force a tenant out — without a court order — is illegal in Nevada and exposes landlords to civil liability and damages.
