What is car lockout service and how is it performed?

Car lockout service refers to unlocking a vehicle without using its original key or remote. There are different methods depending on the type of vehicle and its locking system.

Types of Car Lockout Services

Standard Lockout Service

This method is used for most vehicles and requires basic locksmith tools. The process typically involves creating a small gap between the door and frame using an inflatable air wedge. Once a gap is made, a long-reach tool is inserted to pull the door handle or press the unlock button. While effective, improper handling can sometimes cause minor damage to the vehicle.

Advanced Lockout Service for Double-Locking Systems

Some modern vehicles, particularly those from the V.A.G. group (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and SEAT), have a double-locking system, which prevents unlocking with standard methods. Unlocking these cars requires specialised tools and extensive knowledge to avoid damaging the vehicle’s security system.

In this case, professional locksmiths use precision tools that mimic the original car key, ensuring a non-destructive entry. Due to the complexity involved, the cost of unlocking double-locking systems is higher than standard lockout services.

Why Choose a Professional Locksmith?

Hiring an experienced and certified automotive locksmith is crucial to prevent unnecessary damage to your vehicle. A skilled locksmith will use the right tools and techniques to safely and efficiently unlock your car.
