Call (260) 267-9022What Happens When You Call
Drivers carry the proper wedge-and-reach tools for modern doors, no coat hangers, no bent window frames. Most lockouts are open in a few minutes once the truck arrives. Expect the driver to confirm the car is yours (ID, registration, or plate match). A service that opens cars without checking is a red flag, not a convenience.
One thing to know: if a child or pet is locked inside, call 911 first. They will not make you wait. Then call us; we'll roll too and whoever arrives first gets the door open.

Car Lockouts FAQs
How much does a car lockout cost in Fort Wayne?
Typically $50–$100. You get the exact price on the phone before a truck heads your way.
How fast can you get to me?
The dispatcher gives you an honest ETA when you call. A child or pet locked inside means call 911 first. Then us, and nobody waits.
Will opening the door damage my car?
No. Drivers use proper wedge-and-reach tools designed for modern doors and locks. It's the same method dealers and locksmiths use.
Do you need proof it's my car?
Yes. Expect to show ID, registration, or otherwise establish it's yours. That check protects you as much as anyone; nobody should open a car for a stranger who just points at it.
Does it work on trucks and newer push-button cars?
Yes. Wedge-and-reach entry works on nearly all light vehicles, including push-button models whose fob died inside. Rare exotics with reinforced frames may genuinely need a locksmith, and you'll hear that on the phone.
What if I lost my keys entirely?
Then entry alone won't help. You need an automotive locksmith to cut and program a replacement. We'll tell you that straight when you call, before you pay anyone.
Does insurance or a roadside membership cover this?
Often, yes. Most policies with roadside coverage and clubs like AAA reimburse a receipted call. Pay, keep the receipt, and file the claim. The dispatcher can tell you the itemized total to make that easy.
Stuck? Get moving.
One call gets you a dispatcher, an upfront price, and a truck on the way.
