Keys on the seat, keys in the trunk, or a key fob that will not respond: a car lockout always happens at a bad time. Locksmith Knights comes to your car anywhere in Raleigh and Wake County and gets you back inside, day or night.

We use non-destructive tools made for vehicles, so there are no coat hangers and no scratched paint or torn weatherstripping.

Lockouts we handle

  • Keys locked inside the car or trunk
  • Dead key fob battery or a fob that will not unlock the doors
  • Lost keys with the car still locked
  • Parking lots, driveways, shopping centers and roadside
  • Most cars, trucks, SUVs and vans

How it works

  1. Call and tell us the make, model, year and where the car is.
  2. A technician drives to you and checks that you own or are authorized to use the vehicle, usually with ID and registration.
  3. The door is opened with a vehicle-safe tool, and we test that it locks and unlocks normally.
  4. If you also need a spare or replacement key, we can make one on the spot.

Child or pet locked inside

If a child or animal is locked in the car, call 911 first. Emergency crews can open the car immediately, and heat builds quickly.

Why not roadside assistance?

Roadside plans are great if they can reach you quickly. We are a direct option when you do not have a plan, or when the wait is long, and we can cut a new key if yours is lost, which tow trucks cannot do.

Need this done in Raleigh or Wake County? We are mobile and answer 24 hours a day.

Questions we hear

Will you damage my car?

We use vehicle-specific, non-destructive methods whenever the car allows it.

Do you open cars with smart keys?

Yes. Many push-to-start vehicles can be opened without damage, and we can also program a new fob if yours is missing.

What do you need from me?

Your location, the vehicle details, and proof that the car is yours, such as ID and registration or insurance.
