It happens to the best of us: you’re rushing to work in Minneapolis, you close the door, and suddenly realize your keys are still sitting on the driver’s seat. A car lockout is stressful, but how you react matters.
Here is a quick guide on how to handle a vehicle lockout safely:
DON’T use a coat hanger: Modern cars have complex wiring and airbags inside the doors. Trying to jimmy the lock yourself can cause hundreds of dollars in damage.
DON’T smash the window: Unless there is a child or a pet trapped inside in extreme weather, breaking a window is dangerous and costs way more than a professional locksmith.
DO check all doors and the trunk: It sounds simple, but sometimes one passenger door or the trunk might be unlocked.
DO call a professional: A certified automotive locksmith has specialized tools to open your car in under 5 minutes without a single scratch.
