- Smart key inside — some cars lock even with the smart key inside.
- Parking lot lockouts — at a store, restaurant, office, gym, school or apartment complex.
- Child or pet inside — call 911 first.
Don't damage your car trying to unlock it
Coat hangers, screwdrivers and wedges can damage the weather stripping, paint, window frame, door lock, airbags or electronics inside the door. A broken window costs more than a lockout service and leaves glass in the car. Don't pry the door or force the lock, and if you're somewhere dark or unsafe, move to a safe place and call.
What a car lockout costs
Car lockouts start at $79. The price depends on the situation (cabin, trunk, running car, smart key), the vehicle and your location. We confirm the price before we send a technician — see our guide to car unlock prices in Boca Raton.
Mobile locksmith vs roadside assistance
Roadside assistance may help with a simple lockout, but it can't make a new key, program a key fob or handle a complicated lock. A mobile auto locksmith opens all types of vehicles and, if the key is lost or broken, cuts and programs a new one on the spot.
