Locked Out Of Your Car?

If you managed to become locked out of your car, you might be wondering - what do I do now? There are many reasons this might have happened, whether the keys were lost, someone stole them, or you might have even locked your keys in the car. These situations are frustrating for motorists, but there are things you can do!

First, determine if you are truly locked out of your car. Here is what we mean by this – if you went to open the front driver’s side door and it did not budge, you might have started to panic. Maybe you did not check the passenger door or back doors. Yes, this can happen! It is important to check for an alternate way to get inside the car. Check the trunk, too! And if you have a spare key that you can access, use that! Speaking of a spare key, if you do not have one, we recommend getting one.

Browsing on the Internet is going to offer information on using items such as pump wedges to get inside. This is something that can be very damaging to a car if it is not necessary. Breaking open a window is an option but not suggested unless someone is trapped inside of the car. 

 If you can’t get into your car, and it is not an emergency, we recommend staying safe first. If you are in a store parking lot, this might mean going inside of the store. This is true if it is dark outside, too. Safety comes first. 

Once you are safe, we recommend contacting a locksmith. A mobile locksmith that offers auto services can come to your rescue. It is a good idea to have the contact information stored in your phone of a mobile locksmith. 

Getting into a locked car without a key requires proficiency in auto locks and keys. This is something that can be offered by a locksmith. 

We want to point out the importance of trying to prevent a lockout, too. It is a good idea to keep a spare key on you or to provide one to someone that is in nearby proximity, so you can access the key if ever needed. We recommend having a mantra, for instance, do not shut the car door without the key in your hand. This can turn into a habit so you instinctively do not shut the car door without your key in your hand. It can prevent you from shutting the door with the key in the car. Make sure the battery does not need to be replaced on the fob, too. This is one way a motorist can end up locked out of their car – the battery is dead on the key fob, so they manually shut the door. 

If you are locked out of your car, whether the keys were lost, stolen, or you locked your keys in the car, we hope this information has been advantageous for you.
