When your keys are locked in your car
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
Keys left on the seat or in the ignition
You can see them but can't reach them. We use soft air wedges to create a tiny gap at the top of your door frame, then reach in with a tool to hit the unlock button. No scratches, no damage.
Keys locked in the trunk
Trunk lockouts are trickier, especially on newer cars where the trunk is isolated from the cabin. We try the cabin release first, and if that's not an option, we can pick the trunk lock directly.
Key fob stopped working
Dead battery or a desync can leave you standing next to a car that won't respond. We use the hidden mechanical key slot (most cars have one) or help you get the fob working again.
Child or pet locked inside
This is our top priority. We drop everything and send the nearest person immediately. If anyone is in danger from heat, call 911 first - then call us for the fastest non-destructive entry.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

car lockout across New Castle County
Residents and businesses in Ardentown use Kwikey for car lockout because the process is simple: call, get a quote, and a licensed technician arrives with everything needed.
Because Ardentown falls inside New Castle County, it shares our regular route with neighboring towns — so we're frequently already nearby when a call comes in.
Most lockouts are resolved without damaging the lock. Our Ardentown technicians open first and replace only when the hardware genuinely can't be saved.
Seasonal weather affects locks and doors more than people expect — swelling frames, stiff cylinders. It's a common reason for Ardentown call-outs.

Worth knowing first
What does car lockout cost in Ardentown?
It depends on the specifics, which is why we quote before starting rather than after finishing. Describe the job on the phone and you'll get a firm number to approve or decline.
What if I'm not sure exactly what I need?
Describe the symptoms and we'll work it out on the phone. Plenty of Ardentown callers aren't sure whether they need a repair or a replacement, and that's what the call is for.
Do you cover Ardentown, DE?
Yes. Ardentown is inside our standard New Castle County service area, so car lockout here is routine dispatch rather than a special trip. Call (302) 551-2550 to confirm timing for your address.
Is there a Kwikey shop in Ardentown I can visit?
No — we're a mobile service. For car lockout, the technician comes to your location in Ardentown with the equipment on the van. That's usually faster than a shop visit anyway.
What payment methods do you accept in Ardentown?
The technician can take payment on completion by the usual methods. Payment is due once the work is finished and you're satisfied, not up front.
How do I know the quote won't change once you arrive?
It won't, as long as the job matches what was described on the phone. If the technician finds something genuinely different in Ardentown, you'll be told and asked before any extra work happens.

Car Lockout FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Will opening my car damage the paint or door?
No. We use soft air wedges at the top of the door frame and coated reach tools. There's no metal-on-metal contact with your paint. Your car looks exactly the same after we're done.
Can you open cars with deadlocks or double-locks?
Yes. Some luxury cars disable the interior handles when locked from outside. We use specialized picks that work directly on the lock cylinder to bypass these systems safely.
What if my keys are in the trunk, not the cabin?
We try the cabin trunk release first. If your car isolates the trunk (common on newer models), we can pick the trunk lock cylinder directly. Either way, we get your keys back.
Do I need to prove I own the car?
Yes - for your protection. We check your ID against the vehicle registration or insurance card. It takes 30 seconds and ensures nobody can use our service to access a car that isn't theirs.
How long does it take to open my car?
Once we arrive and verify ownership, most cars are open in under 10 minutes. High-security vehicles with advanced anti-theft may take a few minutes longer.
Keys locked in your car?
Tell us your car's year, make, and model, plus where it's parked. We'll confirm someone can reach you and get your door open without damage.
