Vehicle Unlocking in Slough

Locked out of your car in Slough? Our Vehicle Unlocking service gets you back into your car quickly and safely. As a trusted mobile auto locksmith serving Slough and the wider SL postcode area, we use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible to unlock cars, vans, and commercial vehicles without damage.

When You Need Vehicle Unlocking

Car lockouts happen to everyone. If any of the following sound familiar, our car unlock service in Slough can help:

• Locked keys in car or boot after loading shopping or luggage
• Key left on the seat with doors auto-locked
• Keys lost or stolen and you need urgent vehicle entry
• Key snapped in the door or ignition
• Remote key fob not responding; central locking won’t open
• Car won’t detect the key; push-to-start won’t work
• Dead car battery or a faulty door lock mechanism preventing entry

We support all common lockout scenarios, including modern vehicles with deadlocking, keyless entry systems, and 2024/2025 immobiliser technology. If you also need a replacement key after unlocking, we can provide on-the-spot car key replacement and programming.

How Our Non-Destructive Car Unlock Service Works

We focus on non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. Our technicians are trained, insured, and DBS-checked, and we carry dealer-level tools to work safely on today’s vehicles.

• Assessment and access plan

  • We confirm your vehicle details (make, model, year) and assess the lock system: standard blade, high-security, deadlocks, or smart/proximity entry.
  • We explain the entry method before work begins and advise on any rare situations where minor damage could be unavoidable (for example, a severely damaged lock). You always approve the plan first.

• Non-destructive entry techniques

  • Lishi and advanced lock picks to manipulate door locks without drilling.
  • Air wedges and reach tools for mechanical button releases where appropriate.
  • Manufacturer-specific bypass techniques for certain models.
  • For smart and keyless cars, we use secure methods that do not interfere with your immobiliser or alarm system.

• Diagnostics if the car won’t unlock electronically

  • If your central locking or immobiliser is the issue, we can run OBD2 diagnostics to check for faults, perform safe battery support, or reset certain systems.
  • Where needed, we can proceed to Car Key Programming for transponder or smart key issues, including EEPROM/ECU solutions on some models.

• On-the-spot solutions if keys are missing or damaged

  • If you’ve lost the only key or it’s snapped, we can provide Car Key Replacement and cutting on site, plus reprogramming to immobiliser systems to disable missing keys for security.

• Final checks and advice

  • We test all doors and the boot, confirm remote operation, and share tips to prevent future lockouts (spare keys, fob battery checks, and simple routines).

Common Questions About Car Lockouts

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, such as specialist lock picks and manufacturer-approved techniques. In rare cases where a component has already failed or is severely damaged, minor destructive work may be the only safe option. We will always explain the risks and get your approval before proceeding.

Can you unlock cars with deadlocks or keyless entry?

Yes. We’re trained and equipped for vehicles with deadlocking, double locking, and smart/proximity systems. We use techniques that do not compromise your immobiliser or vehicle data.

What if my key is lost or stolen?

We can unlock the vehicle and provide a new key on site. For security, we can also delete the missing key from your immobiliser and program your new key, so the lost key will no longer start the car. Learn more about lost or stolen car keys.

My key snapped in the door or ignition. Can you help?

Yes. We offer broken key extraction and can repair or replace the key. If the ignition or lock is damaged, we can advise on repair options during the visit. See our guide to broken car key problems.

My remote fob has stopped working and the doors won’t open. What next?

We can unlock the car and check the fob and vehicle for faults. It may be a dead fob battery, a sync issue, or a central locking fault. We carry diagnostic equipment to identify the cause and can provide reprogramming or replacement if needed.

Do you cover evenings and weekends?

We provide emergency support for lockouts across the SL area, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. For urgent help, see our Emergency Auto Locksmith in Slough.
