A car lockout in Indianapolis takes 5 to 15 minutes on site once the technician arrives. Indy Lock & Keys uses air wedges and long-reach tools rather than slim jims, which avoids damaging modern door wiring, airbags and weather seals.

When you need this

  • Keys visible on the seat behind a locked door
  • Fob locked in the trunk
  • Car auto-locked itself while running
  • Child or pet locked inside — say so on the call, it is prioritised

What is included

  • Air wedge and long-reach entry, no slim jims on modern vehicles
  • Works on push-to-start and keyless-entry vehicles
  • Door seal and paint edge protected during entry
  • No charge if the vehicle genuinely cannot be opened

How it works

  1. 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.

  2. Confirm the price

    Vehicle lockouts get a flat price estimate on the call. No per-minute meter.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
