Do now

First get the situation clear

Check spare key

Can someone bring a spare key? Tell us right away.

Leave windows and rubbers alone

Trying to pry things open quickly damages doors, glass or paint.

Call emergency services if urgent

Child, animal or medicine inside? Call 112 immediately if safety is at risk.

Opening the car

Not every car can be opened the same way

Modern cars have different locks and security systems. We therefore check per vehicle what is sensible and what the risk of damage is.

Sometimes opening on site is possible. Sometimes transport to a dealer or garage is the better choice, especially with specific key systems.

Keep calm

Avoid damage caused by haste

A jacket, bag or phone behind glass can be stressful, but damage from trying yourself is often more expensive than proper coordination.

Our control room asks for make, model, year and where the key is. That helps us estimate what is realistic.

Tell us this first

  • Make, model and year of the car
  • Where the key is
  • Whether a spare key is available
  • Whether there is urgency because of a child, animal or medicine

Approach

How we handle lock-outs

1. Discuss situation

We ask what is inside the car and whether there is immediate urgency.

2. Estimate options

We look at vehicle type and key location.

3. Help on site

If opening is responsible, we try carefully.

4. Alternative

If opening is not responsible, we discuss transport or dealer help.
