Lockouts
Car Lockout Service in Aurora, OR
Keys on the seat and the door already shut. It happens to careful people constantly, usually while carrying something with both hands. We come out with proper lockout tools and open the vehicle without breaking a window.
Call before you try anything clever
The coat hanger trick is how most damaged door trim and torn weather stripping happens, and modern vehicles have wiring, airbag sensors and side curtain components inside the door that are expensive to replace. A five minute wait for the right tool beats a repair bill.
Two situations that change the answer
If a child or a pet is locked inside, call 911 first, then call us. Emergency services will get the door open immediately and that is the right call every time. If your key is lost or broken rather than locked inside, opening the door does not solve it, because you still cannot start the vehicle. In that case a tow to a locksmith or a dealer is usually faster than anything else.
What we need from you
Have your ID and something showing the vehicle is yours if you can. We are opening a locked vehicle, so a quick check that it belongs to you protects everybody. Tell us the year, make and model on the phone so the driver brings the right tools.
- Year, make and model
- Exactly where the vehicle is parked
- Whether the keys are visible inside
- Whether it is a keyless or push button start vehicle
