Locked Out of Your Car? What We Can Help With

No two lockouts are the same. Here are the situations we hear about most often.

Keys Locked in the Car

This is the classic lockout. The keys are inside and the doors are locked. Tell us the make, model, and year, and we will explain how we would approach it.

Lost Car Keys

If you have lost your only key, getting in is only the first step. We can also discuss a new key. See our Car Key Made and Automotive Locksmith pages.

Broken Key in the Door

A broken key needs careful handling so the lock is not damaged further. Please do not try to pull it out with tools. Call us first.

Key Fob Not Working

A dead fob battery or a programming issue can leave you outside the car. We can look at the problem and explain your options, including key programming. See our Automotive Locksmith page.

How Our Vehicle Lockout Service Works

We keep the process simple, so you always know what is going on.

1. Call Us

Call (424) 297-4396 and tell us what happened and where your car is parked.

2. Share Your Vehicle Details

Give us the make, model, and year, and tell us if anyone, such as a child or pet, is inside. Tell us right away if that is the case.

3. We Explain the Plan

We tell you how we would handle it and answer any questions before work begins.

4. Get Back Into Your Car

We use a careful method designed to avoid damage to your vehicle.

5. Check Everything Works

We make sure the doors open and lock properly before we leave. If you need a spare key, we can talk about that too.

A Safer Way to Get Into Your Vehicle

Many drivers worry about damage when they hear the word lockout. These are the things people ask us most.

Avoiding Damage

Forcing a door or window can cost more than the lockout itself. A trained locksmith uses tools made for the job, which helps protect your paint, seals, and door.

Why Not Wait for Roadside Help?

Roadside assistance is a good option if you have it. If you need help sooner, or your plan does not cover lockouts, a mobile locksmith is worth a call.

Proof of Ownership

To protect you, a locksmith should confirm that the vehicle is yours. Have your ID and registration or insurance card ready if you can.

Need a spare after getting in? See our Key Duplication Services page.

What to Do While You Wait for Help

A few simple steps can keep you safe and make the call faster:

Move to a safe, well-lit place away from traffic
Check all the doors and the trunk, in case one is unlocked
Look for a spare key at home, with a friend, or in a safe hiding place
If a child or pet is inside and in danger, call 911 first
Have your ID and proof of ownership ready
Note your vehicle make, model, and year

Please avoid using a coat hanger or other homemade tool. It can scratch the glass, harm the door seals, or damage the lock and wiring.
