The first steps
- Don’t panic, remember being late isn’t the end of the world;
- Call anyone that needs to know that you are held up and then work the next steps to getting into your car;
- Double check to see if any doors including your boot are unlocked (if not already done so);
- Do you have a spare key at your home or with a family member? Arrange for the spare key to be collected and bought to you by a friend or family member.

Don’t have a spare key?
We highly recommend you have a spare key either with a trusted friend/family member or locked away in your home. That way when and if this situation arises again you have a spare that can be collected to get you into your car without having to call us out.
Spare keys made are much cheaper than having all keys lost and starting from scratch, this is because the car already has a programmed key to work from and we are programming extra keys.
We can give you a quote onsite or over the phone for a spare key. You can call us on 0423 372 098 for an obligation free price.
How to avoid the situation happening to you again.
Here are a few options/ideas for avoiding being locked out of your car again:
- Keep a spare key in a section of your bag or at another location at all times.
- Don’t have a spare? Call us on 0423372098 to arrange for one of our automotive locksmiths to come to you to arrange a spare key to be made.
- Don’t allow small children to play with your keys when you aren’t in the car with them.
- Always take your keys out of your car when the door is shut as some cars have an auto lock function.
- Going to the beach is much more fun without losing a key, keep your key clipped to a bag so it can not fall off. Finding a key in the sand is a hard job!
- Regularly replace the battery in your key
