We Come to Your Vehicle

Lockouts happen in parking lots, driveways, gas stations, job sites, and on the shoulder of the road. Tell us where you are and the year, make, and model of the vehicle, and a mobile locksmith comes to you, whether that's a grocery store lot in Calera, a parking deck in Hoover, or a gas station off I-65.

Vehicles and Situations We Handle

  • Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans from most major makes
  • Keys locked in the cabin or in the trunk
  • Trunks that won't open because the release is inside the locked car
  • Push-to-start vehicles that locked with the smart key inside
  • Key fobs that stopped unlocking the doors

No Coat Hangers, No Slim Jims

Modern car doors are full of wiring, airbag sensors, and window mechanisms. Improvised tools like coat hangers and slim jims can damage all of them. We use purpose-built automotive entry tools, such as inflatable wedges and long-reach tools, that open the door without harming the vehicle.

Keys Lost Instead of Locked In?

If your keys aren't in the car at all, we can open the vehicle and make you new keys on the spot. Our car key replacement page explains how we cut and program keys when the originals are gone.

If a child or pet is locked inside a vehicle, especially in Alabama heat, call 911 right away.
