Standing in a parking lot with bags, kids, or groceries — and no way in. We come to you wherever you are and get the door open.
Keys Locked in the Trunk
The trunk closed with your keys, purse, or phone inside. We access the vehicle and open the trunk — no drilling, no damage.

Our Comprehensive Car Lockout Capabilities
Step-by-Step Car Lockout Mastery
Call & Share Your Location
Tell us where you are and what you drive. We'll send the nearest technician who has the right tools for your vehicle.
Prompt Verification
A standard ownership check protects you and your vehicle. We verify before starting any work.
Zero-Damage Entry
Using long-reach tools, air wedges, or pick tools specific to your vehicle, we unlock the door without leaving a mark.
You're Back on the Road
Once you're inside, we make sure everything works — locks, windows, electronics — before we leave.
"Rusted mailbox lock on our curbside box. Key would barely turn. Kwikey replaced it with a weather-resistant cam lock and sprayed the inside with corrosion inhibitor."
"Needed a mortise lock installed on our vintage front door. Kwikey carefully mortised the pocket without cracking the old wood and fitted a reproduction lock set beautifully."
"Warehouse fire exit had a regular knob that violated code. Kwikey installed a crash bar with dogging feature for loading dock operations. Fire marshal approved the setup on review."
Everything You Need to Know About Car Lockout
Can you make keys for push-to-start vehicles? expand_more
Yes, we have the equipment to program smart keys (proximity keys) for most push-to-start vehicles. These keys communicate wirelessly with your car, so programming requires specialized tools we carry in our mobile units.
I lost all my car keys. Can you still help? expand_more
Absolutely. We can create a new key from scratch for most vehicles. We'll verify ownership, program a new transponder or smart key, and have you driving again. This is much more convenient than towing to a dealership.
Are your replacement key fobs OEM or aftermarket? expand_more
We offer both options. OEM fobs are identical to what you'd get from the dealership. Aftermarket fobs are high-quality alternatives that provide a similar experience. Both work identically—we'll explain your options when we provide a transparent diagnostic quote.
Why should I use a locksmith instead of the dealership? expand_more
We come to you—no towing needed. We're typically significantly more convenient than dealers. And we're available during operating hours, not just during business hours. Our keys are identical quality to dealer keys, programmed with the same professional equipment.
Do I need to make an appointment or can you come now? expand_more
Both work! For emergencies, we prioritize your call. For scheduled work like lock installation or rekeying, we can book appointments that fit your schedule. Tell us your preference when you call.
What is a transponder key and why does it require specialized programming? expand_more
A transponder key has a computer chip that communicates with your car's immobilizer system. If the chip signal doesn't match, the car won't start. The chip requires specialized programming equipment and expert configuration to ensure security.

Why Call a Professional Instead of DIY?
Online videos showing coat-hanger techniques cause more damage than you'd expect — bent door frames, torn weather seals, broken electronics, and scratched paint. Professional automotive entry tools are precision instruments that work with your vehicle's design, not against it. The cost of professional service is a fraction of the body shop bill from a DIY attempt gone wrong.
