How We Open a Locked Vehicle Without Damage

When you call for lockout assistance in Lincolnton, we confirm your vehicle make, model, and where you are stranded. Our technician arrives with entry tools that slide between the window and door frame or create a small gap using an inflatable wedge. Once the gap is wide enough, we insert a reach tool or slim jim to trigger the unlock mechanism from inside. The entire process is designed to avoid scratching paint, cracking glass, or bending the door frame.


After the door is unlocked, you will be able to open it normally and retrieve your keys from inside. Your vehicle will look and function exactly as it did before the lockout, with no visible marks or damage to the exterior. Most lockouts are resolved in under ten minutes once we arrive, and you can drive away immediately after the door is opened.


We handle lockouts in parking lots, driveways, roadsides, and business locations throughout Lincolnton. Our tools work with most standard vehicles, but some newer models with advanced security systems may require additional time or alternative methods. We assess the situation on site and let you know the best approach before starting the work. This service does not include key cutting or reprogramming, only entry into the locked vehicle.
