How mobile lockouts work
We use a wedge and long-reach tool set designed for modern vehicles, protecting paint and weatherstrip while we reach the interior lock or handle. Most doors are open within a few minutes of arrival.
Before we open anything, we verify the vehicle is yours — registration, insurance card matching your ID, or another reasonable proof. That protects you as much as it protects us.
Keys locked inside with the engine running
This happens more than people expect: you hop out to grab something, the door swings shut, and now a running vehicle is sitting there burning fuel with the keys on the seat. Tell dispatch the engine is running so we prioritize it — a running unattended vehicle is a theft and safety risk.
What we can't do
We open doors. We don't cut new keys, program transponders or make replacement fobs — that's an automotive locksmith or dealer job. If that's what you actually need, we'll say so on the phone instead of driving out and charging you for the trip.
CAR LOCKOUT SERVICE IN CINCINNATI — FAQ
Straight answers to what people ask us on the phone every day.
How much does a car lockout cost in Cincinnati?
Mobile lockout service starts at $59 during the day and $99 between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM, priced by distance and quoted on the phone before we dispatch.
Will unlocking my car damage it?
No. We use professional wedge and long-reach tools designed for modern door seals and paint. Coat hangers and screwdrivers are how doors get damaged; that's not how we work.
My child is locked in the car — what do I do?
Call 911 first. Emergency services can force entry immediately if the child is at risk. Then call us at 513-879-1905 and tell dispatch a child is inside so we prioritize the run.
Do you need proof the car is mine?
Yes. We ask for reasonable proof of ownership such as registration or an insurance card matching your ID before opening any vehicle.
