Car lockouts
Modern cars mostly use flat-blade keys, transponder fobs, or a mix of both, and the entry method depends on the door and the car, not a single trick that works on everything. We use long-reach tools and air wedges built for the job — not a coat hanger, not a slim-jim jammed into the frame — because the fastest way to turn a $150 problem into a $1,500 one is to damage the weatherstripping or the lock rod on the way in.
If your key is broken off in the ignition or door lock rather than just locked inside, that's a related but different job — see broken key extraction.
How it works
You call. You hear what it costs. Someone comes. The door opens. The order never changes, and neither does the price we quoted on the phone.
Give us your location, the car's make and model, and whether the key is locked inside or broken. (917) 970-2894
You hear who is coming and how long it honestly takes from wherever the technician is. If that's too long, call someone else, no hard feelings.
The cost is agreed on that call, based on the vehicle and the situation you describe.
The technician asks for ID and the vehicle registration or insurance card. Then the door opens, at the price you already agreed to.
Questions
We use air wedges and long-reach tools made for this, not a coat hanger or a metal strip forced into the frame. Most vehicles open with no visible mark. We won't promise zero risk on every make and model sight unseen, but destructive entry is the exception here, not the method.
Your driver's license and the vehicle's registration or insurance card with your name on it. If the car isn't registered to you — a rental, a family member's car — have the renter or owner reachable by phone.
Yes. Most fob-based cars still have a mechanical door release built in, or a manual override once we're inside; we know where to find it on the vehicles we work on regularly. If yours is unusual, we'll say so on the phone before we come out.
No — that's broken key extraction, a different technique from a standard lockout. Mention it when you call and we'll bring the right tools the first time. See broken key extraction for details.
Often, but not always — it depends on the lock mechanism. Tell us the make and model when you call and we'll confirm before dispatching anyone.
Where we work
A mobile locksmith comes to you, wherever the car is parked. We take car lockout calls across all three boroughs, and we'll tell you honestly if your location is too far for the ETA you need.
Get help
Pick up the phone. Nobody standing next to their own car should be typing their location into a website. The form below is for work that can wait — a lock installation or new hardware.
