Common Reasons You Might Get Locked Out of Your Car

Car lockouts happen fast, often when you’re in a rush or distracted. One of the most common reasons is accidentally locking your keys inside the vehicle. It’s easy to do, especially when unloading groceries or tending to a child.

Lost keys are another frequent cause. Whether they fall out of your pocket or get misplaced at work or home, the outcome is the same—frustration and delay.

Sometimes, car locks or fobs malfunction. Dead batteries in key fobs or jammed door locks can catch you off guard. Even tech-savvy cars with push-start systems can fail due to transponder or programming issues.

Other culprits include broken keys, stolen key rings, or extreme weather freezing locks shut. If any of these occur, you’ll need fast assistance from a trained car locksmith.

What to Do Immediately After a Car Lockout

Stay calm. Panicking only slows your ability to think clearly. Make sure you and your passengers are safe, especially if the lockout happens in a parking lot or on the roadside.

Check every door and the trunk. Sometimes one might still be unlocked. If not, avoid trying to use coat hangers or metal rods—they often cause damage and may trigger alarms.

Next, call a professional. Our mobile locksmiths are trained for emergency lockouts and will be at your location fast. We’ll assess your situation and get your vehicle open without delay or damage.
