Damage-free entry
Air wedges and professional long-reach tools that leave the paint, glass and weatherstripping intact.
Car Lockout Service
Keys on the seat and the doors locked? We open cars, trucks and vans without damaging the door, the glass or the weather seal — and we do it around the clock.
Overview
Locked out is an emergency, not an inconvenience
A lockout stops being a small problem the moment there is a child, a pet or a running engine on the other side of the glass. Tell the dispatcher if any of that applies and the call moves to the front of the queue — and call 911 first if someone inside is at risk.
Our technicians carry professional entry tools rather than the coat-hanger approach. Modern door skins hide airbag wiring, side-impact sensors and power-lock harnesses, and a slim jim in the wrong hands turns a lockout into a repair bill.

Process
How it works
Call and describe the vehicle
Year, make, model and where you are parked. Mention immediately if a child or pet is inside.
We confirm ownership
A quick check that the vehicle is yours — registration, insurance card or matching ID. It protects you as much as us.
Entry
The technician opens the door with proper tools, typically in a few minutes.
Back on your way
If the key is lost rather than locked in, we can tow the vehicle to a locksmith or dealer instead.
Questions
Frequently asked
Will you damage my car getting in?
No. We use air wedges and long-reach tools designed for the job. The improvised methods that scratch paint and bend door frames are exactly what we are there to avoid.
My child is locked in the car. What do I do?
Call 911 first, then call us. Tell both dispatchers that a child is inside — a locked car heats up dangerously fast and this becomes a life-safety call, not a convenience call.
Do I have to prove the car is mine?
Yes. We ask for registration, an insurance card or ID that ties you to the vehicle. It is a short step and it is what keeps the service legitimate.
What if I lost the key entirely?
Entry gets you into the car, but it will not start it. In that case we can tow the vehicle to a locksmith or your dealer to have a new key cut and programmed.
