The Kwikey Protocol for Car Lockout

Call Us—Tell Us Everything

Location, vehicle make/model/year, and most importantly: is anyone locked inside? This helps us dispatch the right tech with the right tools.

Nearest Tech Dispatched Immediately

We send whoever can get to you most efficiently with the proper equipment for your vehicle. You'll know when to expect them.

Prompt Ownership Verification

We confirm you're the vehicle owner with registration, ID, or matching info. Takes 30 seconds and protects everyone.

Transparent diagnostic quote before we start

We assess the situation, explain what we'll do, and give you an diagnostic-led quote. You approve before we touch anything.

Professional Unlock—Zero Damage

Using vehicle-specific tools (not coat hangers), we unlock your car without scratching paint, damaging weather stripping, or triggering your alarm.

Back on the Road

You grab your keys, we confirm everything works, and you're on your way. Most standard lockouts are resolved efficiently so you can get back to your day.

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Car Lockout

What if my commercial lockout also triggers the alarm? expand_more

We work with you to coordinate with your alarm company before entry. Many clients have us on their authorized list. If needed, we can wait while you contact monitoring to prevent a false alarm response.

What should I do while waiting for the locksmith? expand_more

Prioritize your safety by staying in a well-lit area or nearby open business. Please avoid attempting forced entry or DIY bypass techniques, as these often lead to structural hardware damage that can complicate the resolution and lead to unnecessary hardware replacement. Have proof of property ownership ready to present to our technician upon arrival. We will maintain communication as our mobile lab transit to your location.

Are you available during operating hours? expand_more

Yes! We offer prompt emergency locksmith services for lockouts and urgent security needs. Our mobile service operates Mon-Thu & Sun 7:00AM-10:00PM and Fri 7:00AM-4:30PM. We are closed on Saturdays. Our storefront is open Mon-Fri 9:00AM-4:00PM.

Is there an extra charge for after-hours or weekend service? expand_more

We keep our after-hours response transparent. While some companies charge extreme premiums at night, our after-hours diagnostic quotes remain consistent. We'll always provide a transparent diagnostic quote upfront before we start—no surprises when you're already stressed.

My key broke off inside the lock. Can you help? expand_more

Absolutely. Broken key extraction is one of our specialties. We use specialized tools to remove the broken piece without damaging your lock. In most cases, we can also cut you a new key on-site so you're not stranded.

I locked my keys in my running car. Is this an emergency? expand_more

Yes! A running car lockout is our highest priority. We'll prioritize your call to prevent overheating, fuel waste, or carbon monoxide buildup in enclosed spaces. Call us right away and we'll get our nearest tech headed your way.
