Frequently Asked Questions About Automotive Lockouts

How much does a spare car key cost?

The cost of a spare key ranges anywhere from $50 to $800 depending on the model of your car and whether you’re after a traditional (manual) or electronic key. Traditional keys are not as secure but they’re less complicated and thus more affordable to produce than keys made with transponder technology. We highly recommend getting a spare set as it’s significantly cheaper than making keys from scratch as in the case of lost car keys. Having a spare ready will also help you prevent future lockouts.

How do I unlock my car door without a key?

The quick answer is you don’t, not without the help of a professional locksmith service. The internet will lead you to many hacks using a shoestring, tennis ball, coat hanger, or a rod and screw driver but unless you have a really old car, these hacks are unlikely to work. Worse, they might even end up damaging your car!

If you find yourself locked out, first check if any of your windows or doors might be unlocked and can grant you access. If not, retrieve your spare key at home or from your family. If you don’t have a spare, call us on 0429 197 981 and leave the job to the professionals.

Will a tennis ball unlock a car door?

One of the most popular hacks to open a locked car door is to use a tennis ball. According to one viral video, simply punch a small hole in a tennis ball, shove it as hard as you can to the lock, and the burst of air pressure should unlock your car. Imagine if this were true, then thieves would be having a field day everyday! Air pressure will not disengage your locks and this hack, though popular, simply does not work.

What tools do car locksmiths use?

Professional locksmiths use specialist picks, slim jims, wedges, tension tools, and jigglers among other tools to unlock cars. While you’re able to purchase some of these tools in your local hardware store, locksmiths undergo years of professional training to be able to use these tools correctly without damaging your car.

What does an automotive locksmith do?

You can count on an automotive locksmith to deal with all things car lock and key related. This includes opening locked doors, duplicating keys, creating manual or transponder keys, removing broken keys from your doors or ignition, and rekeying car locks.
