What to Do When Keys Are Locked in the Car?

[EzraAnn]

Specific solutions when keys are locked in the car: Use the spare key: When purchasing a vehicle, the original set of keys usually includes at least two keys—one for regular use and another as a spare. The spare key should be kept in a secure place at home and should not be carried around to avoid unnecessary trouble if lost. If the regular key is accidentally locked in the car, retrieving the spare key is the simplest and least costly solution. Call a locksmith: If you are far from home or traveling, retrieving the spare key may not be practical. In such cases, hiring a professional locksmith is another option. Be sure to choose a licensed and reputable locksmith service. Contact a towing service: Some 4S dealerships or repair shops also offer unlocking services, using specialized techniques to unlock the car door, but this usually requires towing the vehicle to their workshop. Many insurance companies now provide free towing and emergency services, so calling your insurer when facing such issues is also a good option.
