What happens at the car

When you are locked out and the keys are inside the car, the job is to get you back in. Your call gives us the car's location and a short account of what has happened, so we arrive knowing what we are dealing with. We come out to the car wherever it stands in Leicester, Leicestershire, East Midlands (LE1) — outside a home, at a workplace, or in a public car park. At the car, we open it wherever we can, and we explain what is happening in plain words as we go. It all happens at the roadside, so the car stays where it is. Once the car is open, you can get your keys back and get going again. We say wherever possible because not every car can be opened this way, and we talk through your car on the call before we come out. Stay with the car while we work, and we will say what we need from you at each step.

Keys in the boot

Keys locked in the boot are a common lockout, and the same visit covers the boot as part of opening the car. Phone 07988 388514, say the keys are in the boot, and give the car's location. Have proof of ownership ready for our visit, and stay with the car so you can show it. The locksmith travels to the car in Leicester, Leicestershire, and opens it for you there. Say on the call whether the boot is the only place the keys could be, or whether they might be in the cabin as well, because that helps us understand the job before we come to the car. If the boot will not open from inside the car either, say so on the call. Once the car is open, you can get the keys out of the boot and get going again.

If the car cannot be opened this way

Some cars cannot be opened this way, and when that happens we say so plainly at the car rather than pushing on. Phone 07988 388514 and give the car's location, what has happened, and the make, so we can talk through your car before we come out. Have something that shows the car is yours ready for our visit. The locksmith travels to the car in Leicester, Leicestershire, looks at it with you, and explains what we find in plain language. If opening the car this way is not possible, we talk through the next step with you at the car before anything else is done. We will not promise an outcome for a car we have not seen, and we explain what we find before we do anything else.

What to have ready

We will ask to see proof that the car is yours when we arrive, so have it ready and stay with the car. A plain description of the parking spot — street, car park, or place of work — helps us find the car. Tell us on the call where the keys are — in the car, in the boot, or somewhere else — and whether the engine is running or a child or a pet is inside, because that changes what happens first. If a child or a pet is locked in the car, call 999 first and stay with the car. If the car is not yours, mention it on the call and keep the owner reachable.

When this service applies

This service applies whenever the keys are inside a locked car. That covers keys on the seat, keys in the footwell, keys shut in the boot, and keys left behind when the doors locked. It also covers a car whose engine is running with the doors locked. It does not apply when every key is lost and there is no key inside the car to reach — that is a key replacement job, and we will say so on the call. It does not apply when part of a key is stuck in the lock, because that piece has to come out first. If you are not sure an opening job is the right one, ring 07988 388514, describe what has happened, and we will point you to the service that fits.
