Automotive Lockout Service

many people must be familiar with that frustrating feeling when they realized they have just been locked out of their vehicle by leaving the keys inside it. What is even more frustrating is the fact that it usually happen in the most inconvenience moment in the day. It can happen when you are far away from home, before you go to work, or just about to leave from the grocery store. Trying to get into the vehicle yourself might not be a good choice as you can cause damage to your vehicle. In such case, calling a locksmith that provides automotive services and have the right skills for the job would be most recommended.

Years ago, people would use coat hanger in order to unlock their vehicle in case of an emergency where they got locked out. However, those days are long gone with technology in vehicle that started to progress during the 90's. Many vehicles that are on the road today are designed with security as one of the top priority and are very difficult to unlock using the old methods such as a coat hanger or even a Slim Jim. With such difficulties, many professional locksmith today are equipped with specialty tools and using different techniques to unlock a vehicle without leaving any damage.

Because of the added security that most vehicles today come with, avoiding do-it-yourself methods to unlock your vehicle in an emergency situation is important. Especially if never tried before, even using old techniques can cause serious damage to the vehicle which may decrease its value and most likely will not be covered by the insurance company.

In many cities around the country, people use to call the local police to assist them in case of an emergency lockout. However, nowadays this is not the case as for most vehicles specialty tools are required. Unless its a serious case of an emergency such as a child locked in a vehicle, law enforcement will not be able to assist. And even in such emergency situation, they will most likely break the window of the vehicle. Calling a locksmith will not only help you get out of such situation faster, but also without causing any damage to your vehicle.

Wrangler Lockout Tip

Unlocking a vehicle is one of the most common services a locksmith technician will do during his time as a technician. There are many methods for unlocking a vehicle where each one is used depending on the make and model of the vehicle. Most locksmith technicians will use an across the window tool in order to unlock most types of vehicles. This method proven to be one of the most effective way to unlock a vehicle in a timely manner without damaging the vehicle. However, some vehicles will make it very hard to open with this type of tool.

I remember few years ago I got a call to unlock a 96 Jeep Wrangler. The customer accidentally left the keys inside the vehicle and locked it behind him while jumping to the store to get something. I had experience unlocking many types of vehicles before, but I don'r recall ever servicing a Jeep Wrangler before. I figured it shouldn't be much different than other vehicles I've done before, so I took the job and started heading the customer's location.

Normally, for most vehicles, I use an across-the-window tool and air wedges which proved to be very effective way for unlocking vehicles more than other types of tools I've used before. However, in this case, I did not know that the Jeep Wrangler window frame would be so tight which did not gave me much room to maneuver with my tool.

After multiple tries of attempting to get with the edge of the tool to the lock button to unlock the vehicle, I finally gave up. I decided to call a Reno locksmith co worker of mine for a last advice before going with a little more expensive route of actually making a key for the vehicle in order to unlock it. My co worker mentioned using a cord tied to the edge of the tool which allowed manipulating the edge of the tool making it much easier to unlock the lock button. Once I was able to find a cord in my van, I made few attempts using the trick and to my surprise it worked and I was able to unlock the vehicle within couple of minutes.
