Service FAQ

Can a locksmith unlock my car without a key?

In many standard lockouts, yes. If the key is lost rather than locked inside, key replacement may be needed.

Will opening the car set off the alarm?

It can on some vehicles, but the goal is to regain access without damaging the door or lock.
