How it works
Give the year, make and model
Modern door cavities are packed with side-airbag wiring, so the technician needs to know the vehicle before choosing a tool.
Confirm the price
Vehicle lockouts get a flat price estimate on the call. No per-minute meter.
Technician wedges the frame
An inflatable wedge creates a few millimetres of gap; a coated long-reach rod triggers the interior handle or lock button.
Door opens, nothing is damaged
The wedge is removed, the frame returns to spec, and the door is tested before the technician leaves.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about car lockout in the Indianapolis metro.
Can you unlock a car without damaging it?
Yes. An inflatable air wedge opens a small gap at the top of the door frame and a coated long-reach tool presses the interior unlock button. The frame flexes within its normal tolerance and returns to shape. Slim jims are not used on modern vehicles because they can sever side-airbag and window wiring inside the door cavity.
Can you unlock a push-to-start or keyless car?
Yes. Push-to-start vehicles still have a mechanical door latch and an interior unlock control, both of which a long-reach tool can reach. Entry does not require the fob. If the fob is locked inside, you can drive away normally once the door is open.
My child is locked in the car — what do I do?
Call 911 first, then call us and say a child or pet is inside. Emergency services can force entry immediately if the child is in distress, and our dispatch escalates the call to the closest technician. Never wait on a locksmith if a child is showing signs of heat stress.
Do you unlock rental cars and company vehicles?
Yes, with authorisation. For a rental you need the rental agreement in your name; for a company vehicle you need to be on the insurance or have the fleet manager authorise it by phone. The technician verifies this before opening the door.
What if my keys are locked in the trunk?
The technician opens the passenger cabin first, then uses the interior trunk release. On vehicles with no interior release and no rear seat pass-through, the trunk lock is picked directly. Both approaches are non-destructive.
