You shut the door, hear the click, and see your keys inside. Car lockouts are one of the most common roadside calls we receive. Here is what to do.
First: Assess Before Acting
Try all four doors. Check the trunk. If your vehicle has a connected app, try unlocking it remotely.
Do Not Try to Break In Yourself
Modern vehicles have multiple sealing layers. DIY attempts with coat hangers or wedges commonly damage door frames, weather stripping, and windows — far more expensive than a lockout service call.
When to Break the Window
Only if a child or pet is trapped in a hot vehicle. A car interior can reach 120°F in 20 minutes. Break a window away from the person and call 911 immediately.
