What to Do When Locked Out of Your Car
Car lockouts happen to everyone—rushing to an appointment, juggling kids and groceries, or simply having an automatic door lock engage while your keys sit on the passenger seat. While frustrating, staying calm and following the right steps ensures you get back in your vehicle quickly and safely without damaging your car or paying for expensive repairs.
Immediate Steps for Car Lockout Emergency
- Check all doors and trunk - Sometimes one door is unlocked. Before calling for help, try every door handle and the trunk release. Many people forget about the trunk or rear hatchback access.
- Look for children or pets inside - If a child, baby, or pet is locked in the vehicle, this is an emergency requiring immediate help. Call 911 first, then us for fastest possible entry. We arrive in 15-20 minutes average for this type of emergency.
- Check for spare key locations - Do you have a spare key at home, work, or with a friend or family member nearby? Sometimes the fastest solution is having someone bring you the spare.
- Call professional locksmith service - Avoid DIY methods that can damage your vehicle. Professional lockout service costs $75-125 typically. Window replacement costs $200-400 plus potential water damage, electronics damage, and security concerns.
What NOT to Do During a Car Lockout
- Don't break a window – Replacement costs $200-400, requires ordering parts, creates security risk until replaced, and may trigger airbag sensors in newer vehicles causing additional repair costs.
- Don't use coat hangers or slim jims – Modern vehicles have airbag sensors, electric window mechanisms, and complex door mechanisms easily damaged by DIY methods. Professional tools work without causing damage.
- Don't call your car dealership – Dealership service costs 2-3x professional locksmith rates, requires towing your vehicle to the dealership, and often takes 4-6 hours. We come to you in 30 minutes.
Preventing Future Car Lockouts
The best lockout is the one that never happens. Keep a spare key in your wallet (not in your car), hide a magnetic key box under your vehicle (check monthly that it's still secure), or use a lockbox attached to your trailer hitch. Modern smart keys can be expensive to replace ($200-500), so protecting your original key and having a spare programmed while you still have a working key saves significant cost and stress. Some newer vehicles offer app-based unlocking—enable this feature if available.
Austin Summer Heat Warning
Texas summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F. Interior vehicle temperatures can reach 130-150°F within 15-20 minutes. If a child or pet is locked in your vehicle during summer months, this is a life-threatening emergency. Call 911 immediately, then call us for fastest entry. We prioritize these calls above all others and typically arrive in under 20 minutes.
