Car lockout help

Car lockouts happen at the curb, in parking garages, at the gym and outside the office. Our technicians use vehicle opening tools made to work around door seals and glass, so your car is opened without damage.

  • Keys locked inside
  • Keys locked in the trunk
  • Lost or stolen car keys
  • Broken key in the door
  • Remote fob not unlocking the car

Before you call

Check every door and the trunk, and whether anyone at home has a spare. If a child or pet is inside in hot or cold weather, call 911 first. Otherwise, call 202-558-0020 with your location, the car's make, model and color, and be ready to show ID.

Spare keys prevent the next lockout

A spare kept at home or with someone you trust turns the next lockout into a short wait instead of a call-out. We can cut a spare and program it for many vehicles while we are with you.

Lost the keys altogether?

If the keys are gone, not just locked in, we can make a replacement key for many vehicles on site. See our automotive locksmith services.

Frequently asked questions

Will opening my car set off the alarm?

It might. Once the door is open, using your key or fob usually stops it.

Can you open trucks and motorcycles?

Yes, we work on cars, trucks and motorcycle locks.

Do I need to prove the car is mine?

Yes. We ask for ID and registration or another proof of ownership before opening a vehicle.
