Keys locked inside the car or van
Our most frequent job. Once we're on scene, gaining entry usually takes only a few minutes — it's reaching you that takes the time, so tell us exactly where you are.

Emergency Vehicle Lockout Service
Locking your keys inside is the single most common vehicle call we get, and it almost never needs a smashed window. Modern cars are opened using proper auto-entry tools — an air wedge to create a small, controlled gap and a long-reach tool to operate the internal unlock exactly as you would from inside. It's slow, deliberate work that leaves no trace on the vast majority of vehicles. We come to you roadside, driveway or car park across Wrexham, Chester, Shrewsbury and Oswestry.

When to Call Our Vehicle Lockout Service
Keys lost while you're out
We can open the vehicle so you can retrieve belongings or documents. Cutting or programming a replacement key is a separate auto-locksmith job.
Key won't turn in the door or ignition
Worn keys and worn barrels lose their crisp shape over years of use. We can often get you in and advise whether the key or the barrel is the culprit.
Central locking or fob failure
If a dead fob battery has left you locked out, we can gain manual entry and advise on the fob or battery.
Broken key in the door lock
We extract the broken piece without damage, then cut a replacement so you're not left stranded.
Vans and work vehicles
A locked-out van is a stopped day, so we treat commercial vehicle access as urgent.

Vehicle Lockout FAQs
Can you really open my car without damage?
Yes — non-destructive entry is the standard method, not the exception. We use specialist auto tools designed to open a vehicle the way its own handle or button does.
My keys are locked inside — is that different from losing them?
Very different. Keys locked inside is purely a mechanical entry job and usually the quickest call we do. Lost keys may also need a replacement cut or programmed.
Do you open vans and commercial vehicles?
Yes — cars, vans and light commercials. Tradespeople and delivery drivers use us regularly because a locked-out van costs money by the hour.
Is the service available at night?
Yes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays.
