Pro Tip: How Different Weather Impacts Car Lockouts
The weather could make car lockouts more challenging. In freezing temperatures, moisture inside your door locks might freeze, making it impossible to unlock the door. High heat, on the other hand, could cause metal parts to expand, creating additional unlocking challenges. In any case, you should always call for professional help instead of struggling with DIY fixes. Amateur attempts will likely damage your car’s locks and make the situation worse.
Our Timely Intervention
Twenty minutes after the call, our expert technician, Michael, arrived at the scene. Rex’s 2007 Toyota Highlander sat locked with the keys inside – a classic car lockout scenario. Our approach is always methodical, precise, and designed to minimize any potential damage to the vehicle.
The Step-by-Step Resolution Process
Here’s the step-by-step breakdown of how we resolved the issue:
Initial Assessment
Michael inspected the car to confirm there was no damage to the door frame or locking mechanism. Ensuring the client’s vehicle remained in perfect condition was our priority.
Tool Selection
An inflatable wedge was chosen as the primary tool for this job. This specialized tool allows technicians to create a gap in the door frame without scratching the paint or damaging the locking system.
Wedge Insertion
Michael carefully inserted the inflatable wedge between the door frame and the car door. By gradually inflating it, a small gap was created for further access.
Unlocking the Door
Using a long-reach tool, Michael accessed the locking mechanism inside the car door. With precise movements, he carefully engaged the lock and successfully unlocked the door.
Key Retrieval
Once the door was open, the car keys were retrieved safely from the seat, ensuring the vehicle’s security system remained intact.
Pro Tip: What if the Key Was Broken in the Ignition?
If the key breaks in the ignition, we’d have used a key extractor tool to carefully remove the broken piece. If you ever find yourself in such a situation, avoid using pliers or unnecessary force, as you might be damaging the ignition. Simply do what Rex here has done: call us for professional intervention. Your key’s extraction and repair will be handled properly.
The Client Went From Frustrated to Elated
Rex was visibly relieved and thrilled with the swift, damage-free solution. For $129, he received an immediate solution and also got peace of mind knowing his vehicle was handled by skilled hands. He appreciated the timely arrival, courteous service, and meticulous way his car was unlocked.
When asked about what he thought, his comment on the service he got was:
“That was fast and professional. I don’t think I could have asked for more. Good job, guys, good job!”
His is another success story that reflects our commitment to delivering reliable, damage-free car lockout solutions.
