Being locked out is frustrating, but it happens to the best of us. The good news: with the right approach your car can be opened quickly and without damage, no need to force the door.
What not to try yourself
The temptation to try a coat hanger or a clever YouTube tutorial is understandable. We advise against it. Modern cars have sealed door rubbers and laminated windows that scratch easily. A scratch or dent to the door costs more to repair than calling a specialist. Forcing the door can also trigger the alarm or damage the lock, making the situation worse. Our specialists use professional tools that leave no trace.
How we help
We operate throughout the Limburg region (Dutch and Belgian) and arrive quickly. After a brief ownership check, your vehicle registration or ID, we open your car without damage. For most passenger cars this takes no more than 15 minutes. After opening we always recommend having a spare key made, so this cannot happen again.
How to prevent it next time
The simplest way to prevent a repeat is a spare key. Keep it at home or with someone you trust, never in the car itself. A key safe is also an option for people who frequently work on-site. We can make your spare key immediately after opening if you wish, convenient, since we are already there.
