Keysin the car
Car lockout service for keys locked inside a vehicle, at home, at the shops or at work, across Concord and the surrounding suburbs. We open the car without breaking glass and get you moving again.
Where car lockouts happen
Car lockouts tend to happen on the busiest days. The shopping trolley is loaded, the kids are in the back, and the keys end up on the passenger seat as the door shuts. Around our area, we get calls from car parks and streets such as:
- Rhodes Waterside and the IKEA car park
- Westfield Burwood and Burwood Road
- Birkenhead Point in Drummoyne
- Concord Road and Majors Bay Road
- Strathfield Plaza and around the station
- Home driveways and garages across Concord
If you are in a car park, tell us the level and bay number when you call. It saves time.
If someone is locked inside the car
If a child, a vulnerable adult or a pet is locked inside a car, especially on a warm day, call 000 immediately. Temperatures inside a parked car rise very quickly, and emergency services can act faster than anyone else. Do not wait for a locksmith.
Do not reach for a brick.
A broken window costs far more than a lockout call, takes days to replace and leaves the car open in the meantime. A locksmith opens the door without damage in most cases.
How we open a locked car
We use purpose-made vehicle entry tools that open most makes and models without scratching paint, bending the door frame or breaking glass. Modern cars have airbags, side curtain sensors and complex wiring inside the door, so improvised methods like coat hangers and wedges can cause expensive damage.
Before opening the car we ask for proof that it is yours, usually a driver licence that matches the registration papers, or the registration details on your phone.
What this service covers

Car lockout questions
Can you open my car without damaging it?
In most cases, yes. We use proper vehicle entry tools designed to open doors without harming paint, seals or glass.
What do I need to show you?
Proof the car is yours: a driver licence and registration details that match, or other reasonable evidence of ownership.
My keys are locked in the boot. Can you help?
Often, yes. Opening a door usually gives access to a boot release or fold-down seats. Tell us the make and model when you call.

Will you come to a shopping centre car park?
Yes. Give us the car park name, level and bay number and we come to you.
