Keys locked inside your car – what should you do?
It only takes a second – you put your keys down on the seat, in the ignition or in the boot, slam the door and the central locking kicks in. Now you’re stuck outside the car with no way back in.
The worst thing you can do is panic and start forcing the door or prising at the glass. Modern vehicles are designed to resist this kind of attack, and you can easily end up with:
- Damaged door frames and seals
- Shattered glass and an unsafe vehicle
- Higher repair costs than a proper locksmith call-out
A professional car locksmith has the right tools and techniques to unlock your car cleanly, quickly and safely – without causing unnecessary damage.

Common situations we deal with
Keys locked in the boot
You’ve loaded the shopping, shut the boot and heard the doors lock. We can usually gain entry through the main doors and release the boot without damage.
Keys on the front seat
A moment’s distraction is all it takes. We can open the vehicle, retrieve your keys and get you moving again, often in less time than it takes to call a recovery truck.
Car locked itself
Some vehicles auto-lock after a short time. If that happens while your keys are still inside, our locksmiths can help you regain access without waiting hours for a main dealer.
Child or pet locked in car
This is always treated as urgent. Let us know straight away if there’s a person or animal locked in the vehicle and we’ll prioritise your call.
Why use a specialist car locksmith for lockouts?
- Vehicle-safe tools – designed specifically for car locks and security systems.
- Experience with modern locking systems – including deadlocks and deadlocking handles.
- No need for towing – work carried out at the roadside, at home or at your workplace.
- Cheaper than broken glass – professional entry is usually far less than the cost of a new window and bodywork.
Recovery companies and garages often call a specialist car locksmith themselves when they can’t get into a vehicle – by coming to us directly, you can often save time and money.

Locked keys in car – FAQs
How much does an emergency car lockout cost?
Prices depend on your location, the time of day and the type of vehicle. We’ll always give you a clear price or price range before you book, so there are no surprises.
Will you damage my car opening the door?
Our first priority is to use non-destructive techniques. In most cases we can unlock the vehicle without any damage at all. If there is any risk of damage, we’ll explain the options before we start.
Can’t I just smash a window?
It might seem like the quickest option, but modern glass and trim are expensive to replace and you can easily injure yourself. A professional car locksmith is almost always cheaper and safer.
What if my key is lost, not just locked inside?
If the key is genuinely lost, we can usually supply, cut and programme a new key instead. See our lost car keys service page for more details.
