Locked out of your Porsche?
Most Porsches on local roads are Macans and Cayennes, with 911s and 718s close behind. All of them have tight door gaps and paint their owners care about, so a lockout calls for a careful hand. That's how we approach every Porsche, wherever it's parked.
What to expect when you call
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.
Quote before we drive out
Tell us the Porsche 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 Porsche calls for a different approach, we say so before we start.
No hidden fees
The quote covers the lockout. If we find something else 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. If it’s a key we can cut and program, the technician brings the equipment for it.
How does our Porsche lockout service work?
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.
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.
ID check first
Before any work starts, the technician asks to see a government issued ID.
Opening the door
The technician looks over the door and lock, then opens your Porsche with automotive entry tools, carefully and without forcing anything.
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.
A final check
We make sure the locks on your Porsche work as they should before we leave, and you pay the price you were quoted.
Common Porsche lockout situations
Keys locked in your Porsche
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.
Porsche 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.
Porsche 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 Porsche 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.
How we open a locked Porsche
With Entry & Drive, a Porsche unlocks when you grip the handle with the key nearby, and inside the key there's an emergency key for the driver's door lock. The 911 and 718 have frameless windows that drop slightly when the door opens, so the top edge of the glass gets our full attention. We use soft entry tools and keep everything away from the paint.
Before you call: quick checks for Porsche owners
Check the My Porsche app, which can lock and unlock the car with an active Porsche Connect subscription. Think about where the spare key is, and if the car has been sitting in the garage, consider whether a weak battery could be the real problem.
Lost or damaged Porsche 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.

How do you protect the frameless glass when you open a 911?
That's the main thing we plan around on a 911 or 718. We set up at the door frame, keep pressure off the glass and go slowly. If anything about the car worries us, we'll talk to you before going further.
What should I do if my Porsche key broke in the lock?
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.
