The tools, and why they matter

We use air wedges to create a small gap at the top of the door frame, then a long reach tool through that gap to work the handle or the unlock button inside. Nothing touches the glass and nothing is forced past the weather seal, so the car is exactly as it was when we finish.

The damage people fear comes from slim jims dropped inside the door cavity. On anything built in the last twenty years that cavity is full of wiring, airbag sensors and the window regulator, and a tool blindly hooked around in there does real harm.

If the key is lost rather than locked in

That is a different job and it is still one we do at the kerb. We read the lock and cut a key to it with no original needed, then program that key to the immobiliser so the car will actually start. For most makes on Australian roads this happens where the car is parked rather than on the back of a tow truck.

A small number of very recent models are locked to dealer equipment. We check the make, model and year while you are on the phone and tell you then, rather than arriving, poking at it and handing you a bill for the visit.

If someone is inside

Tell us straight away. It moves you to the front and it changes how we drive. If the car is sitting in the sun, call 000 at the same time; whoever reaches you first should be the one who opens it.

The interior of a parked car in Brisbane can reach dangerous temperatures within minutes, far faster than most people assume. If it comes to it, a broken window is the correct decision and the cost of the glass should not enter into it.

Questions about car lockouts

Will you damage my car?

No. Air wedges and long reach tools work through the door frame without touching the glass or the seal. Damage comes from the wrong tools, not from difficult cars.

My keys are locked in the boot.

Still workable on most cars. We open the cabin first and release the boot from inside, which costs far less than forcing a boot lock.

What do you need to see?

Photo ID and something showing you own the vehicle — registration papers, an insurance document or purchase paperwork. We ask on every job without exception.

Can you help if the key is lost, not locked in?

Yes. We cut and program a replacement at the kerb for most makes, so it does not turn into a tow truck and a dealer appointment.
