AUTO LOCKOUT SERVICES
The make and model of your car can have an impact on how easily you can gain re-entry into your vehicle, but the main factor is what type of key you have.
At present, car keys can be sorted into five main categories, and whichever you have will usually correspond to the age of your vehicle.
These are:
· Standard – like a regular twist and go key, similar to your house keys.
· Transponder-these are like standard keys, but with an RFID (radio frequency identification chip) inside that only your car recognizes and responds to.
· Laser Cut- these keys have an intricate laser cut groove that provides greater security. They also contain a transponder chip.
· Switchblade – this key folds into the head of the key and pops out for insertion into the ignition. Buttons on the key head allow keyless entry and locking of the car.
· Smart Proximity- this typically unlocks and locks doors automatically when you are in range and allows for push-button start of the car.
Regardless of your vehicle type, whether it is your family car or a commercial vehicle, our auto locksmiths can quickly retrieve or replace your keys if you are locked out.
LOCKED KEYS IN TRUNK
We can easily retrieve keys locked in the cabin of your vehicle by unlocking one of your car doors. Our sophisticated tools allow us to pick the lock quickly and without any danger of damage. Our trained car locksmith technicians have the tools to safely access your vehicle whatever security system you have.
If, however, your keys are locked in your trunk, it is important to note that we will not attempt to pick the trunk lock. This is because extra care needs to be taken when dealing with trunk lockouts, as the trunk is often on a different system than the car door locks and can cause the car security system to completely lockdown if it suspects burglary. For this reason, our lockout technicians will usually unlock the front cabin of the vehicle and then gain access to the trunk from within the car.
Generally, newer model cars have more complex key, lock and security systems. Modern-day vehicles are equipped with very sensitive alarm systems that not only set off a loud, shrill alarm but often also power down the car’s whole electronic system.
This is why it is important to resist the urge to try and open your vehicle yourself if you find yourself locked out without the key. Even if you find the window half down and you try to unlock the car from inside, there is still a risk of the alarm going off before you are able to insert the keys into the ignition.
Your best bet is to always call in our professionals, no matter what lockout situation you face. We have all the tools, know-how and experience to fix your problem in the minimum amount of time.
WHY CHOOSE A CAR LOCKSMITH AND NOT A CAR DEALERSHIP
Car dealerships are renowned for their overpriced services. Not only are our rates much more reasonable, but we offer the added bonus of roadside assistance, a service that they most likely do not provide. It doesn’t matter where you may be or what time of day or night it is; we will come and help you back on your way without the need for a costly tow truck ride. Unlike dealers and mechanics who usually operate within regular office hours, we do not take time off over holidays and weekends, so we truly are a 24/7 mobile locksmith company, ready to help whenever you need. If ever you find yourself stuck in the middle of nowhere, unable to access your car, contact our emergency locksmith services post-haste!
Speedy, thorough and professional. Will definitely use them again when I have need for a locksmith in the future.
