How Do Our Professionals Unlock a Car Without Damaging It?

At Tow Dallas, we provide car lockouts services in Richardson, TX for drivers locked out of their vehicles. Modern cars use side airbags as well as power window wiring and anti-theft systems packed tightly inside each door. That’s why our vehicle lockout service does not use coat hangers, slim jims or the guesswork. Our technicians verify ownership by matching your photo ID with the registration or insurance card.

Next we determine the type of make and model and the type of lock, as each design requires a different tool. For the majority of cars, we slide a soft inflatable wedge between the weather seal and the door frame. The wedge forms a small gap that will not bend metal as well as crack paint or stretch the rubber trim. After that, it’s a long-reach tool pressing the unlock button or lifting the inside handle.

If it is a door that resists, lock picking tools will be used on the key cylinder instead of forcing entry. In the event of an emergency car lock out with a child or pet inside, the call is treated as a priority. When it gets hot outside, cabin temperatures can increase rapidly, so our dispatchers immediately dispatch the tech who is closest to the job. After the door is open, we test the locks, windows and the alarm are functioning correctly.
