First, the safety bit

If a child or an animal is locked in the car and it is warm, or anybody is in distress, call 999 before you call anyone else. The emergency services will get there faster than any locksmith.

How the car is opened

Auto locksmiths use picks and decoders made for car locks, which work the lock the way the key would. Nothing is forced, so there are no bent door frames or torn seals. Coat hangers and wedges are how doors, seals and wiring get damaged, so it is worth waiting for the right tools.

Keys locked in the boot

On many cars the boot cannot be opened from inside once the car has deadlocked, so it is not always as simple as getting a door open. Tell us where the keys are when you get in touch and the locksmith will come prepared.

If the key has just stopped working

Sometimes the car is not locked out at all. A flat fob battery or a failed key can leave you stuck outside. Most fobs have a hidden metal blade for exactly this. If that does not help, the locksmith can get you in and look at the key in the same visit.

Locked out: common questions

Will opening it damage my car?

No. The lock is picked or decoded with tools made for the job. Nothing is bent, drilled or forced.

How soon can someone get to me?

It depends on who is free and how far away they are. We give you the earliest arrival time along with the price, so you can decide before anything is booked.

My ID is locked in the car. Is that a problem?

No. You can show it once the car is open. The locksmith will still need to see it before they leave.

Can you open any car?

Nearly all. Tell us the make, model and year and we will confirm before anyone sets off.

What does a lockout cost?

It depends on the vehicle, where it is and the time of day. You get a clear figure before anyone sets off.
