First Things First ||| Take a breath. You're not the first person this has happened to. The single most important thing is to stay safe — get out of traffic, off a busy street, somewhere you can wait for 30 minutes. Most lockouts are not emergencies in the medical sense. ||| Don't Try The Coat Hanger ||| Old movie trick. Doesn't work on modern cars. You'll scratch the door, break the weather seal, or trigger the airbag system. Modern car door locks are designed to resist this exactly. ||| Don't Smash The Window ||| Tempting if a child or pet is inside. Call 911 first — police can authorize emergency entry. If no kid/pet, just wait. A broken window is $300-$1500 to fix. A locksmith is $80-$180. ||| Call A Real Locksmith ||| Verify their business name, address, and license over the phone. A legitimate auto locksmith arrives in a marked vehicle with the right tools, opens the door without damage in under 5 minutes, charges a fair flat rate. ||| For Lost Keys ||| If you've lost the key entirely (not just locked it inside), we can cut and program a replacement on the spot for most makes. Half the dealer's price, same quality.
