How Does Car Lockout Service in Atlanta Work?
The door closes, you reach for your pocket, and the keys are on the seat. Or you drop the keys in the trunk with the groceries and shut the lid. A car lockout is one of the most common roadside calls, and one of the most frustrating, because the car is fine and you still can't go anywhere.
When you call, we ask where you are and what you drive, including the year. We dispatch quickly and give you a current ETA. On site, we open the door or the trunk with tools made for getting into a car without its key, working carefully around the paint, the glass and the weatherstripping. Be ready to show that the car is yours, for example with a photo ID and the registration.
Please don't try a coat hanger, a screwdriver or a wedge first. Forcing a door can bend the frame, tear the seal or damage the wiring inside it, and that turns a simple lockout into a bigger problem.
Our lockout help is about getting you into the car. We don't cut or program keys. If your keys are lost or broken, we can tow the car to a dealer or locksmith of your choice; more on that below.
Call (470) 905-2410What Should I Do If I Locked My Keys in the Car?
Run through these quick checks before and after you call. One of them might solve the problem on its own.
Child or pet inside? Call 911
A closed car in Atlanta heat can become dangerous very quickly. If a child or pet is locked in, call 911 right away, before anyone else.
Try every door and the hatch
Check all the doors, the trunk, the tailgate and the rear hatch. One of them being unlocked happens more often than you'd think.
Think about a spare key
If someone close by has your spare and can bring it soon, that may be the quickest fix. If not, call us.
Is the engine running?
Tell us if the car is still running or if lights were left on. A long wait can drain the battery, and we can follow up with a jump start in Atlanta if it won't start once you're back in.
What If My Keys Are Lost or Broken?
A lockout and a lost key are two different problems. When the keys are inside the car, opening the door solves everything. When the keys are gone, broken off in the lock, or a key fob is dead and the car won't recognize it, opening the door won't let you drive away.
In that case, the car needs a new key from a dealer or a locksmith. We can tow your vehicle to the dealer or locksmith of your choice, so you don't have to leave it parked on the street or in a lot. Call the dealer or locksmith first to ask what they need from you, such as proof of ownership. Our car towing in Atlanta page explains how a tow with us works.

Car Lockout Questions
I locked my keys in my car. What should I do?
Check every door and the trunk first, and call 911 right away if a child or pet is inside. Otherwise, call Prolocal Towing Services at (470) 905-2410 with your location and your car's make, model and year, and we'll give you a current ETA.
Can you open my car without damaging it?
We use tools made for opening car doors and work carefully, which is far safer than a coat hanger or a screwdriver. Tell us your make, model and year when you call so we know what to expect with your vehicle.
Can you open the trunk if my keys are inside?
Yes, we help with trunk lockouts too. On many cars the trunk can be reached through a release button or fold-down rear seats once the cabin is open, so tell us your vehicle details when you call.
What do you need from me to unlock my car?
Your exact location, your car's make, model and year, and a way to show the car is yours, such as a photo ID and the registration. If those papers are locked inside too, mention it when you call.
What if my keys are lost, not locked inside?
We don't cut or program keys. We can tow your car to a dealer or locksmith of your choice so they can make you a new key.
