First steps
- Check every door and the trunk once. Some vehicles do not lock every door.
- If a child or a pet is inside, especially on a hot day, call 911 right away.
- Move to a safe spot away from traffic.
- Find the year, make, and model of the vehicle.
- Call (205) 994-8014 and say where the vehicle is parked.
What not to do
A coat hanger or a slim jim can bend the parts inside the door, damage wiring, and scratch the paint. Breaking a window costs far more than a lockout service. Wait for help.
If the key is lost, not locked inside
A lockout gets you back into the car. If the key itself is gone, you need a new key. We cut and program car keys on-site for many makes and models. See car key replacement and the guide Lost all your car keys? What to know.

Common questions
Should I call for a tow if I am locked out?
No. A locksmith can open the car where it is parked. A tow is not needed for keys locked inside.
What if the engine is running?
Say so when you call. Stay near the vehicle and keep clear of traffic.
