Keys locked inside the car
A common car lockout: the vehicle has locked with the key or remote still inside. We assess the vehicle and use an appropriate professional entry method.
Car & van lockouts
Locked Your Keys in the Car?
If your keys are locked inside the vehicle, trapped in the boot or the car will not unlock, we can attend with professional automotive entry equipment suited to the vehicle. The objective is to regain access without unnecessary damage.
Keys locked in the boot
If the keys are trapped in the boot or load area, the correct route depends on the vehicle's locking system. We identify the safest practical way to regain access.
Car won’t unlock
A flat key battery, damaged remote, failed blade or vehicle locking fault can leave you unable to get in. We can assess the situation before deciding whether entry alone or further key work is required.
No spare key available
If the key is lost rather than simply locked inside, vehicle entry can be combined with a replacement-key or all-keys-lost service where supported.
Getting You Back Into Your Vehicle
Our mobile auto locksmith service uses automotive lock-picking and vehicle-entry techniques appropriate to the vehicle. Non-destructive entry is the objective wherever the vehicle and circumstances allow, avoiding unnecessary damage to locks, doors and trim.
Locked Out of a Car or Van?
We attend both cars and vans, including modern vehicles with remote, proximity and deadlocking systems. Tell us the registration, your location and what has happened so we can identify the likely entry route before attendance.
What to Tell Us When You Call
Have the vehicle registration, make and model, your location and a brief description of the problem ready. For security reasons, proof that you are authorised to access the vehicle may be required before entry is carried out.
Common Questions About Car Lockouts
Can you help if my keys are locked in the car?
Yes. If the keys are visible or locked elsewhere inside the vehicle, we can assess the locking system and use an appropriate professional entry method.
Can you open a car without damaging it?
Non-destructive entry is the objective wherever the vehicle and circumstances allow. The exact technique depends on the make, model and locking system.
What if the keys are locked in the boot?
Boot lockouts can require a different entry route depending on the vehicle. Give us the registration when you call so we can identify the vehicle before attendance.
What if I have lost the key completely?
If no key remains, this becomes an all-keys-lost job rather than entry alone. Where supported, we can provide vehicle entry and then prepare and program a replacement key.
Lost the Key Rather Than Locked It Inside?
If the key is lost rather than simply locked inside, we can assess whether the job needs vehicle entry only or a replacement key as well.
