Locked Keys in the Car? Why You Should Call a Locksmith (Not Break In)

If your keys are locked inside your car, it’s tempting to try forcing your way back in. But here’s why you should always call a locksmith instead.

The Risks of DIY Unlocking

• Window Damage – breaking glass costs far more than a locksmith visit.
• Paint & Seal Damage – coat hangers and screwdrivers scratch panels.
• Airbag Hazards – modern doors contain sensors you could trigger.

Why Locksmiths Are Better

• Non-Destructive Entry – professional tools unlock without damage.
• Fast Response – a mobile locksmith arrives in minutes.
• Cheaper Overall – avoiding repair bills saves money.
