It's that heart-stopping moment. You've accidentally locked your keys in the car. Bad enough, right? But then you realize the child lock is on, meaning the door can't be opened from the inside either. Now you're in a frustrating, potentially dangerous trap. We provide urgent, non-destructive lockout services for these exact scenarios.
If a child is in the car, this is a critical emergency, and we treat it with the highest priority.
So, why is this such a tricky situation? Here's why:
Your first instinct might be to smash a window, especially if a child is inside. Unless it's a genuine, life-or-death heat emergency, please resist that urge. A broken window is expensive, unsafe, and leaves your car vulnerable.
We have the tools and techniques to get you back into your car without smashing your window. Our top priority is always non-destructive entry. Once we've safely unlocked a front door, we can retrieve your keys. With the keys in hand, we can start the car, lower the power window of the child-locked door, and then reach in from the outside to pull the exterior handle. If a child is locked inside, your call goes to the absolute top of our queue. We'll dispatch the closest available technician immediately for an emergency response.
This is a complex lockout that requires more than just a simple jimmy. We have the right procedure to get you back in your car safely and without the cost and danger of a broken window.
