When You Need Vehicle Unlocking

Car lockouts can happen to anyone, at any time. If any of the following sounds familiar, we can help:

Locked keys in the car or boot
Keys left on the seat with the doors deadlocked
Key snapped in the door or ignition
Central locking malfunction or dead battery with the car locked

Child or pet locked in the car (we’ll prioritise and dispatch immediately)

Whether you’re on a driveway in Redhill, at a car park in Reigate, or roadside near Horley, our mobile auto locksmith service covers the entire RH area for urgent vehicle entry and car lockout service.

How Our Non-Destructive Car Unlock Service Works

We focus on safe, damage-free entry in the vast majority of cases. On the rare occasions where minimal drilling is the only option (for example, on heavily damaged locks), we explain the process clearly and obtain your approval before any work begins.

Here’s our step-by-step approach:

Fast Assessment

We confirm your location, vehicle make/model/year, and the nature of the lockout.
We advise on ID requirements to confirm ownership upon arrival.

Mobile Dispatch to Your Location

Our fully equipped mobile units come to you anywhere across Redhill and the RH postcode area.
We carry dealer-level tools and diagnostics to handle modern locking systems, including high-security vehicle keys.

Non-Destructive Entry

For most vehicles, we use professional lock picks, lishi tools, or air wedges and reach tools to access internal door mechanisms without marking the vehicle.
Where appropriate, we can also employ OBD2 diagnostics to disable deadlocks or re-sync central locking on certain models.

Resolve Underlying Issues

If the key fob is not responding, we test it and can provide key fob repair, dead car key battery replacement, or key fob programming service on-site.
Where a key has snapped in the lock or ignition, we perform broken car key extraction and assess the lock or ignition for damage.

Get You Back on the Road

We test the door locks and central locking, ensure your vehicle starts, and provide guidance to prevent repeat lockouts.
If you need a spare to avoid future issues, we can immediately provide car key cutting & duplication or arrange full car key replacement and programming.

FAQs

Can you unlock my car without causing damage?

Yes, we use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. We employ professional tools and techniques designed to protect your car’s locks, paintwork, and weather seals. On rare occasions where locks are severely damaged or deadlocked in a way that prevents safe picking, we’ll discuss options and costs before proceeding.

I’ve locked my keys in the boot. Is that different to normal unlocking?

Boot lockouts can be trickier, especially on vehicles where the cabin and boot are isolated or when deadlocks are active. We have methods to gain entry safely and then access the boot. We’ll explain the specific approach for your make and model.

My key fob isn’t responding. Could it be the battery?

Often, yes. We can test your fob, replace the battery, and re-sync it if needed. If the fob is faulty or damaged, we provide on-site key fob repair or replacement and full car key programming.

The key has snapped in the door. Can you still open the car?

Usually, yes. We can extract the broken piece using specialised extraction tools, unlock the door, and assess the lock for wear. If necessary, we can cut a replacement key on-site and program it to the immobiliser if it’s a transponder key.

Do you cover evenings and weekends?

Yes. We support urgent lockouts across evenings, weekends, and holidays. For immediate help, please call us and we’ll prioritise dispatch.

What if I’ve lost my only key?

We can unlock the vehicle, verify ownership, and create a new key from scratch. This may involve decoding the lock and programming a transponder or smart key to your ECU/immobiliser. See our dedicated page for lost or stolen car keys.
