What Is a Car Lockout Service?

A car lockout service is roadside assistance for situations where you cannot access your vehicle because the keys are locked inside, unavailable or the vehicle cannot be unlocked normally.

A lockout can happen in several ways, including:

Keys accidentally left inside the car
Keys lost or misplaced
Keys damaged or no longer working
A vehicle door that will not unlock
A key or remote problem preventing access
A vehicle becoming inaccessible after another issue
Being unable to access a vehicle away from home

The right type of assistance depends on the vehicle, the circumstances and the condition of the locks or keys.

HOW IT WORKS

Locked Keys Inside Your Car? Here's What to Do

If your keys are locked inside your vehicle, avoid forcing the door, breaking a window or using unsuitable tools. These actions can cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle.

Instead:

Move somewhere safe if you are stopped near traffic.

Check whether another vehicle door or the boot can be opened safely.

Make sure you have not left a spare key somewhere accessible.

Contact a professional recovery service for advice.

Explain exactly what happened and where the vehicle is located.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common Reasons Drivers Get Locked Out of Their Cars

Car lockouts do not always happen because someone simply forgets their keys.

Common situations include:

Keys Locked Inside the Vehicle

You may close the door before realising that the keys are still inside the car.

Lost Car Keys

Keys can easily be misplaced while shopping, travelling, working or visiting another location.

Damaged or Non-Working Key

A damaged key or key-related problem may prevent you from opening the vehicle normally.

Remote or Key Fob Problems

If the remote stops working, you may have difficulty unlocking the vehicle using the normal method.

Door Lock Problems

A mechanical or electrical fault affecting the locking system can also leave the vehicle inaccessible.

Whatever the reason, explain the problem clearly so the appropriate assistance can be considered.

Can You Unlock a Car Yourself?

It is generally better to avoid forcing the vehicle open or using makeshift tools if you are not familiar with the vehicle’s locking system.

Trying to force a door, damage a lock or break a window can create additional costs and may cause injury.

If your keys are locked inside and there is no safe way to access the vehicle, contact a professional roadside recovery service and
