Common Car Lockout Situations We Handle
No matter what type of lockout situation you're facing, we have the tools and expertise to resolve it quickly:
- Keys locked inside the car — The most common scenario. We use specialized tools to unlock the door without breaking any window or damaging the lock.
- Broken key in the lock or ignition — We extract the broken key fragment and, if needed, provide a replacement key on the spot.
- Keys locked in the trunk — We can access the trunk through the interior release or by entering the cabin first.
- Key fob battery dead — Some smart key vehicles can be unlocked using the hidden mechanical key. We carry replacement batteries and can assist with programming if needed.
- Lost all car keys — If you have no remaining working key, we provide our all-keys-lost service, cutting and programming a brand-new key from scratch.
How We Unlock Your Car — Safe, Professional Methods
770 Locksmith uses industry-approved, non-destructive entry techniques. We never recommend or use methods that could damage your vehicle. Our primary tools include:
- Long-reach tools — Thin, flexible tools that allow us to trigger interior door handles or push button locks from outside the vehicle.
- Air wedge & wedge kit — Creates a small gap at the top corner of the door frame, providing access for a long-reach tool without bending the door.
- Lock picks — For certain lock types, a professional pick set can disengage the lock mechanism directly.
- Slim jim — A time-tested tool for older vehicles with exposed linkage-style locks.
We choose the method based on your specific vehicle type to ensure zero risk of damage. We have successfully unlocked thousands of vehicles across Orange County without a single claim of damage.
What to Do While You Wait
While our technician is on the way, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Stay near your vehicle if it is safe to do so
- If you are in a dangerous location (highway shoulder, dark street), move to a safer area and tell us your exact address
- Have your ID ready — we will verify you are the vehicle owner before proceeding
- Do not attempt to break a window — the cost of replacement far exceeds our lockout service fee
