What is a lock-out?

A Lockout occurs when an unauthorized lock is placed on property to prevent access to an owner or legal tenants.

This can happen accidentally where multiple locks are required for several vendors or tenants who need access to a secure area, such as a cell tower, or meter readers and others at public buildings. An unauthorized lock, or a lock placed wrong can lock out the others who rightfully have access to the area. Since these are often remote areas, unserviced by a person, they can be costly in both money, time and service.

It can also happen purposefully by landlords, legal authorities or with malicious intent.
