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.

Frequently asked in Claymont
Do I need to be present for the work in Claymont?
For most jobs yes — we verify authority over the property or vehicle before starting. If that's difficult, call (302) 551-2550 and we'll work out what's practical.
What if I'm not sure exactly what I need?
Describe the symptoms and we'll work it out on the phone. Plenty of Claymont callers aren't sure whether they need a repair or a replacement, and that's what the call is for.
Will the job be finished in one visit?
Usually, yes. Vans heading to Claymont carry the common hardware and tooling, so most jobs complete on the first trip rather than needing a parts run.
How far in advance should I book?
Same-day is usually available in Claymont for non-urgent work, and urgent calls are prioritized immediately. There's rarely a need to book far ahead.
Are your Claymont technicians licensed and insured?
Yes, every one of them, and they carry ID you can check before work begins. We'll also tell you the technician's name when we dispatch.
Do you offer any warranty on car lockout?
Yes — labor and any hardware we supply are covered. If something isn't right after a Claymont job, we return and put it right.
Can you handle car lockout outside normal hours in Claymont?
Urgent calls get priority dispatch outside standard business hours. The upfront-pricing policy stays the same — urgency doesn't change how we quote.

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.
