No matter who you are, there's always a chance you'll accidentally lock your keys in your car. Luckily, if you’re in Morris, Sussex, or Warren County, Able Security Locksmiths is here to help. Based in Kenvil, New Jersey, they’ve provided reliable lock-out services for over 25 years.

Tempted to try to pick the lock yourself? Remember, automobile locks are particularly sensitive, especially with newer vehicles—you may end up doing more harm than good. A shoestring loop or a bent clothes hanger won’t work. 

If you’re locked out of your car, you have a few options:

Get To A Safe Location

Of course, the first step is to get to safe location so you can make the necessary phone calls and wait for help to arrive. If you’re in a parking lot, ask to wait at a nearby business. If you’re on the side of the road, stay off the shoulder. Any oncoming vehicles may not see you or your car in the road, so put some distance between yourself and other traffic. If it’s sunny, you may want to find a shady spot to wait so you can avoid sunburn. If a family member or friend is nearby and can wait with you, you should call them. If a friend drives to meet you, you’ll be able to wait in their car with the hazard lights on, and you won’t have to wait alone.

Call An Emergency Locksmith

Call a local mobile locksmith to regain access into your vehicle. It’s a good idea to pre-program a reliable locksmith in your phone before an emergency strikes, but if you need to find a new provider, ask about any additional charges before dispatching a technician to your location. Once the locksmith arrives, ask to see their credentials.

Carry A Spare

Once you've regained access, put safeguards in place. Ask the locksmith to make a spare key or two, and keep one in your wallet or purse. You may also want to give a copy to a trusted friend or family member who lives close to you.
