What Is a Car Lockout?
A car lockout is when you are unable to access your vehicle. The most common causes are keys locked inside the car, a broken or damaged key, a lost key with no spare, or a faulty lock mechanism that will not respond.
Whatever the cause, an auto locksmith can resolve the problem quickly and without causing damage to the vehicle. We carry the tools and the experience to handle all types of lockout across all makes and models.

How We Gain Entry to Your Vehicle
Non-Destructive Entry Tools
Our technicians use specialist non-destructive entry tools to open your vehicle without causing damage. These are professional-grade tools that allow access through the door, window frame or lock mechanism without breaking anything.
What We Do Not Do
We do not drill locks, force doors or break windows. If an entry method carries any risk of damage, we will tell you before we attempt it. You always agree to the approach before we proceed.
Programming and Key Cutting on the Same Visit
If your car lockout has been caused by a lost key with no spare, we can cut and programme a replacement key on the same visit. This saves you the additional time and cost of a separate appointment.

Car Lockout vs Breakdown Recovery
Many drivers call a breakdown recovery service when they are locked out of their car. This is understandable, but a breakdown recovery provider will often tell you to wait for a locksmith anyway. Going direct to an auto locksmith saves you time and, in many cases, money.
We are auto locksmith specialists. Vehicle entry is our core job. We carry the right tools and arrive with the intention of opening your car on the first visit. No waiting around, no being transferred between services.
