A vehicle lockout can happen while loading groceries, leaving work or returning to a parked car. First check your surroundings and whether a spare key is available. IC Roadside & Key offers lockout help 24/7. Call (319) 936-2108 with the vehicle and location to confirm the quote and availability.
What to Do First
Stay Safe
If a person or animal in the vehicle is in immediate danger, call 911 and follow the dispatcher's directions. Otherwise, choose an appropriate waiting place and describe the vehicle and location when requesting lockout help.
Check All Doors and Windows
It sounds simple, but walk around the vehicle and try every door handle. Check if a window is cracked enough to reach the lock button. On SUVs and hatchbacks, try the rear liftgate as well.
Do Not Force Entry
Improvised entry attempts can damage the vehicle. Tell the service provider the exact model and lockout circumstances so an appropriate approach can be assessed.
