What to Do When You Are Locked Out of Your Car

If you are locked out, take a moment to stay safe and avoid damaging your vehicle.

Check Your Surroundings

If you are in a parking lot, driveway, or other safe location, stay nearby and keep your phone with you. If you are near traffic or in an unsafe area, move to a safer location while keeping the vehicle in sight when possible.

Do Not Force the Door Open

A coat hanger, screwdriver, or improvised tool can damage the weather stripping, paint, window, wiring, lock, or door frame. It is usually better to call for professional roadside lockout assistance.

Check for Another Entry Option

If it is safe, check whether another door, hatch, or trunk is unlocked. Do not try to climb into the vehicle in a way that could cause injury or damage.

Call Columbus Towing

Call (706) 744-0740 and provide your location, vehicle make and model, and any details about where the keys are inside the vehicle.

Careful Car Door Unlocking Assistance

Modern vehicles can have sensitive electronics, airbags, window seals, anti-theft systems, and wiring near the door. Forcing tools into the wrong area can cause expensive damage.

Columbus Towing uses roadside lockout methods intended to open the vehicle carefully and avoid unnecessary damage. The right method can depend on the vehicle, lock style, door design, and where the keys are located.

When you call, tell us:

• The vehicle’s year, make, and model
• Whether the keys are visible inside
• Whether the vehicle is running
• Whether a child, pet, or urgent safety issue is involved
• Whether the keys are in the trunk, ignition, seat, console, or another area
• Whether the vehicle has a key fob, push-button start, or standard key

If there is an immediate emergency involving a child, pet, medical issue, or dangerous situation, call emergency services first.

Car Lockout Help for Many Vehicle Types

We can help with lockouts involving:

• Cars
• SUVs
• Pickup trucks
• Vans
• Work vehicles
• Fleet vehicles
• Some keyless entry vehicles

Some situations may require a locksmith, dealer, or another specialist, especially if the key is lost, broken, or needs to be cut or programmed. This page is for vehicle lockout assistance when you need help accessing a locked vehicle.

Locked Out, Lost Key, or Broken Key?

There is a difference between being locked out and losing your keys completely.

Locked Out With Keys Inside

If the keys are inside the vehicle, lockout assistance may help you regain access without needing a tow.

Lost Car Key

If the key is lost and there is no spare available, you may need a locksmith or dealership that can cut or program a replacement key. If the vehicle cannot be moved, towing may be needed.

Broken Key or Damaged Lock

If the key is broken in the lock or ignition, or the lock appears damaged, a locksmith or repair facility may be needed. Columbus Towing can help with towing service if the vehicle needs to be transported.

Roadside Assistance After a Lockout

Sometimes unlocking the vehicle is only the first step. If your battery is dead, the vehicle is out of fuel, or another problem keeps you from driving, Columbus Towing can help with additional roadside services.

Our roadside services include:

• Jump start service for weak or dead batteries
• Fuel delivery if you are out of gas
• Tire change assistance if you have a flat tire and a usable spare
• Roadside assistance for common vehicle problems
• Local towing if the vehicle cannot be driven safely

When a Lockout May Require Towing

Most simple lockouts do not require towing if the keys are inside the vehicle and the vehicle is otherwise working. However, towing may be needed in some situations.

Towing may be necessary if:

• The keys are lost and no replacement is available
• The key is broken in the ignition or lock
• The vehicle will not start after it is opened
• The battery is dead and a jump start does not work
• The vehicle is damaged or unsafe to drive
• The lock or ignition needs repair at a shop
• The vehicle needs to be transported to a dealership or locksmith

If the situation involves a damaged, stuck, or difficult-to-move vehicle, our wrecker service in Columbus, GA may be the better fit.
