Stay Calm and Assess the Situation

Getting locked out of your car is stressful, but panicking won't help. Take a deep breath and follow these steps.

Step 1: Check All Doors and Windows

Before calling for help, check every door and window. Sometimes a rear door or trunk may be unlocked.

Step 2: Look for Your Spare Key

Do you have a spare key at home, work, or with a trusted friend? If someone can bring it to you, this is the simplest solution.

Step 3: Check Your Roadside Assistance

Many insurance policies and credit cards include roadside assistance. Check if you have coverage before paying out of pocket.

Step 4: Call a Professional Locksmith

When you need reliable help, call Kwikey Locksmith at 302-551-2550. Our mobile technicians can unlock your vehicle without damage, professionally.

What NOT to Do

  • **Don't break your window** - This is dangerous and expensive
  • **Don't try coat hangers** - Modern cars have anti-theft mechanisms that make this ineffective
  • **Don't trust random "locksmiths"** - Scammers often overcharge or damage your vehicle

    • Prevention Tips

  • Keep a spare key with a trusted person
  • Consider a magnetic key box
  • Use your phone to remind you to check for keys before locking
