Car Lockouts on the Mornington Peninsula
Keys locked in the car at the beach, the shops or the station? A mobile car locksmith comes to you and opens most cars without damage. Call any time.
Locked your keys in the car?
It's one of the most common locksmith calls on the Peninsula: keys on the seat, doors locked, at the beach car park, the shopping centre, the station or the footy. A mobile car locksmith can open most cars, utes and vans on the spot, without damaging the doors, seals or locks.
When you call, tell us:
- exactly where the car is (the car park, street or beach access)
- the make, model and year
- whether the keys are visible inside or missing altogether
If a child or pet is locked in the car
Call 000 first. Don't wait for a locksmith if anyone, or any animal, is at risk in a hot car.
Keys missing, not just locked inside?
If the keys are lost rather than locked inside, you'll need a new key cut and programmed to the car. See car key replacement.
How car lockouts are opened
Locksmiths use specialised wedges, long-reach tools and lock picks designed for vehicles. Coat hangers and screwdrivers damage seals, wiring and paint. A professional opening is quicker and usually cheaper than fixing the damage.
