Mobile Auto Locksmith
Emergency Car Unlocking
Being locked out of your car is one of the most common calls we take. Keys get shut in the boot while loading shopping, left on the driver's seat as a door swings closed, or the central locking fires while the key is still inside the cabin. It happens on driveways, in supermarket car parks, on site and at the roadside.
Only Car Key attends your vehicle as a mobile service. We work with auto locksmith entry tools designed to open vehicles without damaging locks, glass or trim wherever the vehicle and situation allow.

Keys locked inside the car
If your keys are sitting on the seat, in the footwell or in the boot, tell us the registration and where the car is parked. Different vehicles need different entry approaches, and knowing the model in advance means we arrive prepared rather than improvising at the kerbside.
Non-destructive entry
Our aim on every lockout is to open the vehicle without damage. We do not force locks or break glass as a first resort. On a small number of vehicles and situations, entry may not be possible without further work — if that is the case we tell you honestly before starting rather than after.
Boot lockouts
Boot and tailgate lockouts are common on estates, vans and hatchbacks where the boot locks separately from the cabin. We can usually gain access to the cabin first and release the boot from inside.
Emergency Car Unlocking FAQs
Can you unlock my car without damaging it?
We use non-destructive auto locksmith entry methods wherever the vehicle and circumstances allow. If we believe damage-free entry is not achievable on your particular vehicle, we will explain that before starting any work.
How quickly can you get to me?
It depends on where the vehicle is and what we are already booked on. Call or WhatsApp with your postcode and we will tell you honestly when we can attend rather than guessing.
Do you need proof the car is mine?
Yes. For vehicle security, proof of ownership or authority to access the vehicle may be requested before any locksmith work is carried out.
