Car & Van Lockout — what we cover
Non-destructive entry — all major makes
We use professional opening tools (air wedges, long-reach tools, decoders) that don't damage the door, window seal, or interior. Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mini, Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Kia, Hyundai — most common UK vehicles supported.
Modern car security considerations
Newer cars (post-2010) often have alarm systems linked to the key. We know which methods trigger alarms and which don't — we use techniques that keep your security system intact and won't void warranties or insurance.
Replacement key cutting on-site
For many cars, we can cut and program a replacement key on the day, including transponder chips. Major brands and most aftermarket compatible keys supported. Pricing varies significantly by manufacturer — we'll quote on the phone before attending.
Broken key extraction
Key snapped in the door lock or ignition? We extract the broken piece using specialist tools — usually 15–30 minutes — and either repair the original key (rare) or cut a new one.
Vans & light commercial vehicles
Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Vauxhall Vivaro, VW Crafter, Renault Master, Iveco Daily, etc. Same techniques as cars, sometimes longer due to deadlocks and additional security.

Vehicle Lockout Birmingham — frequently asked questions
How much does a car lockout cost?
Car and van lockouts start from £89, with vans and light commercials priced a little higher; any out-of-hours element is included in the fixed price we confirm before starting. Cutting a replacement key for lost keys costs more and depends on the car's security system.
Can you get into any make of car?
Most makes, yes. We have tools for Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mini, Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Kia, Hyundai, Volvo, Mazda, and Suzuki. Highly specialised vehicles (some classic cars, US imports, exotic supercars) may need a dealer — call us and we'll be honest about whether we can help.
Will you damage my car?
Not under normal circumstances. We use non-destructive entry techniques (air wedges, long-reach tools, professional decoders). The only time damage is unavoidable is if the lock is already broken internally — we'll always tell you before attempting anything destructive.
Can you cut a replacement key if I've lost all mine?
Often yes, but it depends on the make and year. Older cars (pre-2000 typically) are straightforward and done on site. Modern cars with transponder chips cost more, and newer smart or proximity keys more again, sometimes requiring dealer involvement. We'll quote on the phone.
Will entry affect my car's alarm or warranty?
No. Our techniques don't trigger modern alarm systems and don't void manufacturer warranties. We won't use any method that could damage electrical systems or compromise security features.
