How non-destructive entry actually works
Every car lock can be opened cleanly by someone who knows its tolerances. Depending on the car, we pick the door lock, create a small controlled gap at the door frame with an air wedge and protective guards, or use a specialist long-reach tool to operate the interior handle. We never drill, wedge recklessly or lever against the glass — that's how paint, seals and regulators get wrecked.
What we need from you when we arrive
We check photo ID and proof of ownership on every job — usually your driving licence and the V5C logbook or purchase invoice. If your documents are locked inside the car, we'll open it first and verify them straight after. It's a strict rule, and it's for your protection as much as ours.
What it costs
It depends on the car — anyone quoting one flat price without asking the make and model is guessing. We confirm the exact figure on the phone before we set off.

Emergency Car Lockout — questions we get asked
Will you damage my car getting it open?
No — we use non-destructive entry on every lockout, so the door, locks, seals and paintwork are left exactly as we found them. That's the whole point of using a specialist auto locksmith rather than a general call-out.
My keys are visible on the driver's seat — can you still open it?
Yes, this is the easiest kind of lockout. Seeing the keys changes nothing about the lock itself, and once we're in you'll have them back in hand. We'll confirm ownership with your ID and documents.
How fast can you get to me?
We can't promise a fixed time — it depends where in Birmingham you are and how busy we are. But we are genuinely available 24/7, including nights and bank holidays, and we'll give you an honest estimate when you call 07425 435697.
The car has deadlocked — can you still open it?
In almost every case, yes. Deadlocking just means the interior handles are disabled, so we adjust the technique — usually picking the lock itself rather than reaching inside. A small number of very new models with manufacturer-locked security may be the exception; we'll tell you straight on the phone.
Do I need to be with the car when you arrive?
Yes — the person who owns or is responsible for the car needs to be present, with photo ID and proof of ownership. We don't open vehicles for third parties without the keeper's involvement.
