Locked out of your car?
Keys on the seat, in the trunk or gone? A certified roadside operator can open most cars with proper tools, without breaking a window.
Unsafe, or anyone hurt? Call 911. On a 400-series highway or the QEW? Call 511.
When you're locked out
- Keys locked inside the car
- Keys locked in the trunk
- A fob that died and will not unlock the doors
- A child or pet inside: call 911 first if they could be in danger

Expect to prove it is yours
A good operator asks for ID before opening a car. That protects you too.

A child or a pet locked in a car on a hot or freezing day is an emergency. Call 911.

Will it damage my car?
Operators use inflatable wedges and long-reach tools made for the job. The risk is low; ask the operator about your model.
