Car Lockout Service in Solihull
Keys locked inside your car in Solihull? Our vehicle lockout service opens cars with specialist non-destructive techniques wherever possible — no broken glass, no damaged paintwork. We attend your location any hour, check ownership, and have you driving again. Call or WhatsApp 07367 634032.
One moment of inattention does it: keys left on the seat as the door shuts, a boot closed with the fob inside, or a lock that simply will not turn. Breaking a window costs far more than a professional visit — and with the right tools and method, nearly every car opens without a mark.
Call with your location and car details for a clear quote. We confirm ownership on arrival, then open the car with non-destructive methods wherever possible. Keys locked in the boot are a standard job, not a special one. Call 07367 634032 or WhatsApp us now.

Common lockout situations in Solihull
We see these every week across the borough:
- Keys locked in the car — on the seat, in the ignition or in the door
- Keys locked in the boot — the boot lock opened with non-destructive methods wherever possible
- Dead key fob with no working manual key
- Self-locking doors catching drivers out at petrol stations and car parks
- Keys dropped down a drain or left somewhere unreachable
How we open locked cars
Every opening starts with ownership checks — photo ID and proof such as the V5C. Then we use professional non-destructive entry methods wherever possible: specialist tools that work with the lock rather than against it, leaving locks, seals and paintwork as we found them.
Some high-security locks restrict the options. If your car is one of them, we will tell you honestly on the call and talk through the alternatives before anything is agreed.
If a child or pet is locked in the car
Flag it the moment you call — and if anyone shows distress, dial 999 too. These jobs jump the queue, and we will stay on the line guiding you until help arrives.

Frequently asked questions
What will you ask me to show on a lockout callout?
When we arrive we will ask to see photo ID and something proving ownership, like the V5C or documents in your name, before opening the vehicle.
Can you open my car without damaging it?
We use professional non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, so locks, seals and paintwork are left as we found them. If your lock type limits the options, we will explain honestly on the call before anything is agreed. Call 07367 634032 and describe the car.
My keys are locked in the boot. Is that harder to open?
Not usually. Boot lockouts are a standard job — the boot lock is opened with the same non-destructive methods wherever possible, and the keys are handed straight back. Tell us the car details on the call. Most are resolved in a single visit.
How long does it take to open a locked car?
Many cars open in minutes once we are at the vehicle, though it varies with the make, model and lock type. You will get an honest estimate on the call — never a made-up figure — and ownership is confirmed before we start.
What if my child or pet is locked inside the car?
Say so immediately — these take absolute priority. If there is any sign of distress, dial 999 as well and follow their instructions while we head over. Keep us on the phone and we will guide you through.
