What to tell us on the phone

  • Exactly where the car is: street address, garage level, or the nearest cross street
  • Year, make and model
  • Where the keys are: cabin, trunk, or in the ignition
  • Whether the engine is running

As a result, we can send the right tools and give you an honest estimate of when we can reach you based on where our technician is and what traffic looks like.

How we open a car with the keys locked inside

With your keys locked in the car, Miami heat makes a coat hanger look tempting. Instead, we use professional wedge and reach tools or lock picks made for automotive locks. The aim is to open the door the way the maker intended, with no bent frames, torn weather seals or scratched paint. In contrast, coat hangers and screwdrivers damage doors, and on newer cars with side airbags and wiring in the door they can cause expensive problems.

Keys locked in the trunk of the car

Many sedans will not release the trunk from the cabin once you arm the alarm. Fortunately, we deal with this often and can usually open the trunk without touching the lock cylinder.

Car running with the keys locked inside

In that case, tell us straight away so we treat the call accordingly.

Where keys get locked in cars around Miami

We get these calls from beach parking on Virginia Key, garages at Bayside and Brickell City Centre, gas stations along Biscayne Boulevard, and plenty of ordinary driveways. Also, if you are in a paid garage, let the attendant know a locksmith is on the way so we can get in without delay.

Before we open the door

First, we ask for ID and something tying you to the vehicle, such as registration or insurance. If those documents are inside the car, we check them as soon as we open the door.
