Vehicle Lockout

Understanding vehicle lockout help for drivers

Confirm that the issue is actually a lockout. If the key is missing, physically damaged or not recognised by the immobiliser, the service may involve replacement or electronic diagnosis as well as access. Tell us what the remote, mechanical blade and any spare key still do.
Avoid levering the top of the door, forcing the window, pulling trims or inserting unsuitable tools through seals. Modern doors may contain wiring, airbags, sensors and complex linkages. An improvised entry attempt can cause more damage than the original lockout.
