Locked Your Keys in the Car?Here's What to Do
Don't force the door or try makeshift entry methods. There are safer ways to regain access, and the right approach depends on your vehicle and locking system.
Check Your Options
If you have a spare key nearby, use that first. Some newer vehicles may also support remote unlocking through the manufacturer's app.
Don't Force the Door
Forcing the door or using unsuitable tools can damage locks, seals, paintwork, or window mechanisms. Professional entry equipment reduces the risk of unnecessary damage.
Call a Professional
If your keys are locked inside and neither option works, Key Masters can provide mobile vehicle entry across Kent and South East London.
When you call, tell us your vehicle make, model, location, and where you believe the keys are. We'll explain the best available option.
Lockout Situations We Handle
Whatever your lockout situation, our mobile locksmiths are equipped to resolve it quickly and professionally.
Keys Locked Inside the Car
Left your keys on the seat, in the ignition, or somewhere inside the cabin? We can assess the vehicle and use an appropriate entry method to help you regain access.
Keys Locked in the Boot
If your keys are inside the boot and the vehicle has locked itself, don't try to force the boot open. We'll assess the vehicle and determine the safest practical way to regain access.
Car Locked With the Engine Running
If you've stepped out and the vehicle has locked while the engine is running, call us rather than attempting to force the door or window.
Keyless Car Lockout
Modern keyless-entry systems can behave differently from traditional locks. If your smart key is inside the vehicle but the doors won't open, we'll assess the vehicle's locking system and advise on the appropriate entry method.
Keys Locked in a Commercial Vehicle
Locked your keys inside a van or work vehicle? We also provide mobile vehicle entry for supported commercial vehicles.
What to Do When You're Locked Out
Avoid unnecessary damage and check the simplest options first. If you've lost your keys, we can help with replacement and programming.
