How a car lockout is handled
A Van Nuys car lockout runs:
- We open the car with automotive lockout tools, protecting the door and glass.
- If the keys are lost for good, we discuss cutting or programming a replacement, quoted first.
- We check the door and locks still work normally once we are in.
When people call us for this in Van Nuys
- Your keys are locked inside the car.
- A key fob stopped working and the door will not unlock.
- You lost your car keys and cannot get in.

Where we are straight with you
A keys-inside lockout is usually a clean open. A few modern vehicles with deadlocking doors resist non-destructive entry, and we are honest when yours is one of them instead of forcing a tool that could cause damage. In Van Nuys, we flag that on the call before we head out.
How we keep it straight
Van Nuys residents can reach us day or night, and we will tell you straight what the job needs.
We will ask who you are and for something that ties you to the property or vehicle, every time. It is quick, and it keeps the wrong person from ever getting in.
There is no honest flat rate we can print, because two jobs that sound alike can need very different work. We price it after we see it, and you approve the figure before we lift a tool.
Nights, weekends, holidays: you reach a working locksmith. The one thing that never changes after hours is our insistence on verifying who we are helping.
