Car Lockout

Keys on the seat and doors shut? Call before you break a window.

Locking the keys in the car happens at the grocery store, the gym, the trailhead and the daycare pickup. Quick Tow ATL connects you with independent roadside operators who carry entry tools made for cars, so the glass and the weatherstripping stay intact. We are a referral line, not a locksmith shop, and the line takes calls 24/7 in English and Spanish.

Straight answers on car lockout service

What if a child or a pet is trapped inside?

Call 911 first. Heat can build fast in a closed car, and emergency crews can open it right away. Do not wait for a roadside operator in that situation.

Does opening the door damage the car?

A trained operator using wedges and reach tools should not leave marks. Some older or high-end cars have tighter door seals and need extra care. Ask the operator about their method before they start.

Do I need proof the car is mine?

Expect to be asked for ID and registration, or for the key fob or app match. A good operator confirms ownership before opening a car, for everyone's safety.

Can they make me a new key?

That is a different trade. Some operators cut or program keys and some do not. Mention it on the call, and the operator will say whether they can or will refer you to a dealer.
