Locked Out of Your Trunk? We Can Help

Common Trunk Lockout Situations

Keys Locked in Trunk

The most common trunk lockout scenario occurs when keys are accidentally locked inside the trunk. This often happens when loading groceries, sports equipment, or luggage. We can quickly access your trunk and retrieve your keys using professional locksmith techniques.

Trunk Lock Malfunction

Trunk locks can fail due to wear, weather exposure, or mechanical issues. If your key won’t turn in the trunk lock or the lock cylinder feels stuck, we can gain access and diagnose the problem for repair or replacement.

Broken Trunk Release

Modern vehicles have electronic or cable-operated trunk releases that can fail. If your interior trunk release button or lever isn’t working, we have alternative methods to open your trunk safely.

Dead Battery Trunk Lockout

Some vehicles automatically lock the trunk when the battery dies. We can open your trunk even if your vehicle’s electrical system is not functioning.

Frozen Trunk Lock

In cold weather, trunk locks can freeze, making them impossible to open with a key. We have the tools to safely thaw frozen locks and gain access to your trunk.
