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.

What Montchanin customers can expect
Kwikey is the locksmith Montchanin calls for car lockout. Every van serving New Castle County carries the equipment to diagnose and finish the job in one stop.
Because Montchanin falls inside New Castle County, it shares our regular route with neighboring towns — so we're frequently already nearby when a call comes in.
Lockouts and failures don't keep business hours. Our Montchanin emergency coverage runs outside them, and the price is still quoted before work begins.
A door that won't lock is as urgent as one that won't open. Both leave a Montchanin property exposed, and we treat them the same way.
Where car lockout usually applies
- After-hours calls prioritized when a property is left exposed
- Doors that will not lock made secure the same visit
- Temporary security made permanent in a single visit
- Business lockouts handled before opening hours
- Broken keys extracted from a jammed cylinder

You should be able to verify who's at your door. Kwikey technicians arriving in Montchanin carry ID, and we confirm the technician's name when we dispatch.
Ask about anything else on the property while a technician is in Montchanin. Combining jobs into one visit is usually cheaper than booking twice.

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.
