How trunk lockout service works
When the keys are in the trunk, the usual way in is through the cabin: open a door, then use the trunk release. Many cars cut power to that release when the car is locked, and then the trunk lock is opened directly.
Do not pry the lid. Trunk seams bend easily, and a bent lid leaks and costs far more than the lockout.
Car Key Replacement is a referral service. We connect you with an independent locksmith who covers your area; that locksmith quotes the price, does the work and stands behind it. Arrival time depends on where you are and who is available, and you are told before you agree to anything.
What changes the time and the price
- Whether the cabin release works when the car is locked
- Whether the trunk has its own keyhole
- Fold-down rear seats, which sometimes give access from inside
- A dead battery, which can leave an electric trunk shut
What to have ready when you call
- The exact location: street address, or the name of the lot or garage and the level.
- Make, model and year of the vehicle.
- Whether it starts with a key you turn or a push button.
- Whether you have any working key left.
- Your photo ID, plus registration or insurance in your name. If they are locked in the car, say so; they are checked once it is open.
