Common Reasons You Might Get Locked Out of Your Car
Car lockouts happen more often than you think—and not always because someone simply forgot their keys. One of the most common causes is locking the keys in the trunk after loading groceries or gear. Other times, the battery in your key fob dies, or your transponder chip gets damaged. Weather changes can even cause locks to jam unexpectedly.
Some people find themselves locked out because of a broken key inside the door or ignition. Electronic glitches in modern cars can sometimes freeze your access, especially with high-security systems. Whatever the reason, our team has seen it—and solved it—all before. We respond with the right tools and experience to get you back inside your car fast.
What to Do Immediately After a Car Lockout
First, check all doors and trunk to make sure one isn’t still open. If you’re in a safe area, stay close to the vehicle and call for professional help. Avoid DIY tools that can scratch paint or damage locking systems. Our mobile locksmiths are trained to unlock vehicles without causing harm. While you wait, keep your phone charged and your surroundings secure.
If you’ve run out of gas or have other issues in addition to being locked out, we can assist with emergency fuel delivery and other roadside needs in one visit.

Damage-Free Entry Methods: Tools and Techniques
We never force your doors open. Instead, we use air wedges, long-reach tools, and specialty lock picks designed for each type of lock system. This lets us unlock your car fast without causing scratches, bent frames, or broken seals.
We’re also trained in manual lock picking when needed and know how to bypass smart entry systems with care.
What To Do If The Key Is Locked In The Trunk?
Keys in the trunk? If the trunk can't be accessed through the cabin due to a fixed seat or separate locking mechanism, the car may need to be fully unlocked first. Once inside, if there’s still no access, we may recommend a car key made service on-site to open the trunk directly.
We handle this situation frequently and can advise on the best solution depending on your vehicle’s make and model.
How Long Does It Take to Unlock Your Car in Pasadena?
Most lockout jobs are completed in under 15 minutes once we arrive. Response time depends on your location and traffic conditions, but we’re usually on-site within 30 minutes across most of Pasadena.
High-security cars may take a little longer due to additional precautions. But rest assured, we move fast while keeping your vehicle safe.
