Locked Out of Your Jeep?

Keys locked inside, a fob that quit or a trunk that won’t open. We sort it out where your Jeep is parked.
Jeeps get used, which is part of the appeal. Wranglers go to the beach with the doors off, Grand Cherokees tow boats, and Compasses handle the daily commute. Lockouts happen at trailheads and boat ramps as well as in driveways. Tell us where you are and what you drive, and we’ll come to you.

We're known for excellence in mobile locksmithing.

What to Expect When You Call

Most people who call us are standing next to a locked car with a phone and not much else, so we keep the call short. Tell us the model, the year and where you are, and you get a price and a realistic arrival time before we hang up. A mobile technician comes to you, checks your government issued ID and then opens your Jeep with automotive entry tools. We work Monday through Saturday, 8am to 8pm, and the number is (855) 588-0198.

Proper Entry Tools

Coat hangers and slim jims belong in the past. Our technicians use automotive entry tools made to open a door without bending the frame or tearing the weatherstripping.

Price Before We Drive Out

Tell us the Jeep model, the year and where it's parked. You get a quote on the phone, and that's what you pay unless you ask us for extra work.

ID Check Up Front

Before the technician starts on the door, we ask to see a government issued ID. It takes a few seconds and keeps us from opening a car for someone it doesn't belong to.

Careful Around the Electronics

Modern car doors hold wiring, airbag sensors and window motors. We work slowly around them, and if your Jeep calls for a different approach, we say so before we start.

No Hidden Fees

The quote covers the lockout. If we find something else once we're at the car, like a broken key stuck in the lock, we explain it and give you the price before doing anything about it.

Key Lost Instead of Locked In

If the key is gone for good, ask about a replacement when you call. We'll check what your Jeep model needs, and if it's a key we can cut and program, the technician we send brings the equipment for it.

How We Open a Locked Jeep

Lock picking tools
On a Wrangler, the mechanical key in the fob works the doors and, on many models, the swing gate, glove box and console. Newer JL Wranglers can open the swing gate with the fob close by, and the driver’s door still has a key cylinder. Grand Cherokees with push button start keep an emergency key in the back of the fob. On a soft top Wrangler, unzipping a rear window can look like an easy way in, but cold vinyl cracks, and a new window usually costs more than having us open the door.

Before You Call: Quick Checks for Jeep Owners

On 2017 and newer Jeeps with a SiriusXM Guardian plan, the Uconnect app may be able to unlock the car if it has a signal, which can be a problem at a trailhead. Check whether anyone with you has the spare. If you’re well off the road, tell us exactly where the Jeep is so we can give you a realistic arrival time.

Jeep Trunk and Hatch Lockouts

Open car trunk in a field
Keys dropped in the trunk while you loaded the groceries, a hatch that won’t release, or a trunk lock that stopped turning. On most cars the quickest way in is through a door, then the trunk release or the fob. If your Jeep has no inside release, we work on the trunk lock itself, and if that lock is damaged, we tell you what it needs before we touch it. Call (855) 588-0198 and tell us what’s going on.

How Our Jeep Lockout Service Works

1. You Call Us

Call (855) 588-0198 and tell us where you are, what you drive and what happened. You get a quote and a realistic arrival time on the same call.

2. A Technician Heads Out

We send a mobile technician to the address you gave us. If anything changes on our side, we call to let you know.

3. ID Check First

Before any work starts, the technician asks to see a government issued ID.

4. Opening the Door

The technician looks over the door and lock, then opens your Jeep with automotive entry tools, carefully and without forcing anything.

5. Keys Back in Hand

Once the door is open, you get your keys back and can check that everything inside is as you left it.

6. A Final Check

We make sure the locks on your Jeep work as they should before we leave, and you pay the price you were quoted.

Common Jeep Lockout Situations

No two lockouts are exactly alike, but most Jeep calls come down to one of these.

Keys Locked in Your Jeep

The keys are on the seat or in the cupholder and every door is locked. Smart key cars try to prevent it, but a fob in a bag or a door locked by hand can still get past that.

Jeep Key Fob Not Working

A weak fob battery or a flat car battery can leave the buttons doing nothing. We open the door by hand, and from there you can check the fob battery or the car battery.

Jeep Trunk Lockout

Keys in the trunk, or a trunk that won't release with the button or the fob. We usually get in through a door first and go from there.

Broken Key in a Jeep Lock

An old or worn key can snap off in the door lock or the ignition. We extract the broken piece and let you know whether the lock or the key needs attention afterward.

Lost or Stolen Jeep Key

If the key is gone, opening the door is only the first step. Mention it when you call so we can check what a new key for your model involves and send a technician equipped for it.

Lost or Damaged Jeep Key?

What a replacement key involves depends on the year. Older cars take a plain cut key. Most cars built since the late 1990s have a transponder chip in the key, and many newer ones use a remote head key, a flip key or a smart key. The technician we send can cut and program many of these on site. If your model needs a key we can’t make on site, we’ll tell you on the phone rather than send someone out.

Jeep Lockout Questions

If we can reach it safely in a regular service van, yes. Send us a location pin or describe the spot when you call, and we’ll be upfront about whether we can get there.

Leave the broken piece where it is and don’t try to turn what’s left. We remove it with extraction tools, check that the lock still works, and talk you through a new key if you need one.

Our mobile technicians cover Maryland, Washington DC and Northern Virginia, working out from Silver Spring to Baltimore, Frederick and Prince William County. We also serve San Diego County in California.
