Answered every day
Keys sitting on the seat, doors locked, and you're running late. It happens to careful people, usually at the worst possible time. It is the most common call that comes in.
We assess your vehicle’s locks and use specialist entry tools designed to avoid damage. The entry method depends on the vehicle and situation.
Open 24/7, holidays included. A Sunday night in a grocery store parking lot is a normal call, not an exception.
What’s included
Careful entry
We choose an entry method for your vehicle and use protective tools designed to avoid damage.
Kids or pets locked inside?
Call 911 first, then Key Squad. The closest van gets rerouted immediately. These are absolute priority.
Any car, any situation
European double-pane glass, frameless windows, deadlocking anti-theft systems. Each needs a different technique, and the toolkit covers all of them.
You hear it up front if it cannot be done
Most cars can be opened without damage. On the rare one that cannot, you hear that before anything is attempted, not after.
How the visit goes
- 1
Call and locate
Your exact location, the vehicle, and whether anyone is inside, then a real arrival window.
- 2
Verify at the vehicle
The technician checks your ID against the vehicle paperwork before anything is opened. No proof the car is yours, no entry.
- 3
Open without damage
The door is wedged just enough to admit a reach tool, which works the interior lock or handle.
- 4
Check the seals
The weatherstripping is checked for correct reseating, and the door has to close and lock normally before the van leaves.
Common Emergency Car Lockout questions
Will you damage my car getting in?
No. A real locksmith opens cars without destroying them. A soft wedge and a reach tool are all it takes. The door flexes a few millimeters, which it is designed to do, and the lock opens from inside. Anyone telling you to break a window is not a locksmith.
My keys are locked inside and the car is running. Can you help?
Yes, and that is more urgent. A running car in an enclosed garage is genuinely dangerous. Say the engine is running when you call and it becomes a priority dispatch. If it is in a garage with the door closed, get out first and call 911 if you need to.
How much is a car lockout in Louisville?
Daytime lockouts are usually $65 to $95 in Jefferson County. Overnight, holidays, or a longer drive out to the counties can reach $145. The exact price is quoted before anyone heads your way, and it does not change on arrival.
Do you unlock cars for anyone who calls?
No. The caller is verified as the owner or an authorized driver before any vehicle is opened, every single time. A company that skips that step isn't one you should be calling.
