What Should You Do if You Lock Your Keys in the Trunk?
Locking your keys in the trunk happens more often than you think—and it's usually fixable without damaging your car.
If you find yourself in this situation, stay calm and follow these essential steps:
- Check all doors and compartments first: Sometimes a backseat access panel or unlocked door provides a quick way in.
- Avoid force or DIY lockpicks: Improper tools can break locks, dent panels, or trigger alarms.
- Contact our professional locksmith: We have the tools to safely unlock your trunk without harm.
- Provide your vehicle information: Have your make, model, and location ready when you call for help.
- Stay in a safe, well-lit area: Especially at night, remain near your vehicle but prioritize personal safety until help arrives.

Do Car Locksmiths Need Proof of Ownership Before Unlocking a Car?
Legitimate locksmiths must confirm that you are the owner or authorized driver of the vehicle before unlocking it. This requirement protects both you and the vehicle owner from theft or unauthorized access.
Typically, you'll be asked to show a valid photo ID and proof of ownership, such as a registration card or insurance document. If these are locked inside your car, your locksmith may verify ownership once the vehicle is opened.
Can Locksmiths Cut a Key From a Vehicle's VIN Number?
We're often able to create a replacement key using your vehicle identification number (VIN). The VIN allows us to access manufacturer key codes and cut a precise replacement that matches your original. You'll still need to verify ownership before the key can be made, and some modern vehicles may require additional programming for electronic or transponder components.
