Keys shut inside the car

It usually happens in the same few ways. The fob is on the seat and the door locked behind you, or the trunk closed with the keys inside it. Both are routine for us.

Opening without damage

Modern cars have airbags, wiring and sensors inside the door. A wedge in the wrong place costs more to repair than the lockout cost.

✓

Before you call

Two minutes of checking sometimes saves the call.

A child or a pet inside

If a child or a pet is locked in the car, especially in the sun, call 911 first. Then call us.

Smart keys locked inside

Many cars with a smart key refuse to lock while the key is inside, but not all of them, and a weak key battery can confuse the car. If it locked itself with the key inside, it opens the same way as any other lockout.

Questions people ask

Will opening the car damage it?

Not when it is done with the right tools. Modern doors have airbags, wiring and sensors inside, and that is why we do not use wedges and coat hangers.

The keys are locked in the trunk. Can you get them out?

Yes. That includes cars where the trunk can only be released from inside the cabin.

Do you check that it is my car?

Every time. Identification and registration, at any hour.
