Car Lockout for Limerick drivers
After a long drive home, you close the door and see your keys inside the locked car.
We open cars, trucks and SUVs for owners in Limerick who are shut out, whether the keys are on a seat or out of sight. Check each door and the trunk before assuming all are locked. If you have a spare key, consider using it. A roadside assistance plan may also cover a lockout, so it is worth checking what your plan includes.
We also open locked trunks in Limerick when the keys are inside. If your car is still running, tell us when you contact us and avoid forcing a door or window. With a push button car, the key may be visible inside even though the doors are locked. If the key is lost rather than shut inside, getting into the vehicle and replacing the key are separate problems. You may need a replacement key to drive, even after you can get into the car.
What to have ready
Give us the street address and describe where the vehicle is parked, including any access restrictions at the location.
Its color helps us distinguish it from similar vehicles. The year, make and model tell us what kind of vehicle you have, and whether it is a car, truck or SUV adds to that picture.
Describe where the key is, or whether you have lost it. A key you can see through a window presents a different problem from one that is missing, and a key locked in the trunk may call for a different approach. Tell us whether the vehicle is running and whether it has a push button start, because both details help us understand the situation. If you have a spare key or a roadside plan, mention that as well, so we know what other options you have.
The work at your car
We start by looking at your car and the closed trunk to see what access is available.
If your keys are inside the trunk, the choices may include reaching it through the passenger area or opening it directly. Some vehicles allow access from the cabin, while others do not. Before starting, we explain the options that fit your vehicle and what each would involve. When there is more than one practical choice, you can tell us which approach you prefer.
Once the trunk is open, you get your keys back, and we check the result with you. With the keys in your hand, we check that the doors and trunk close, latch and lock properly. We also look for anything that could keep the trunk from staying shut. If a door or the trunk does not latch or lock as it should, we point out what we found so you know what needs attention. That gives you a chance to check the vehicle with us before the visit is complete.

Around Limerick
If your car locks itself while running near Heritage Field in Limerick, look through the windows for the key before deciding what you need.
It might be on a seat or another visible spot, or it may be outside the car. If you can see it, getting back inside should also give you access to the key. If you cannot see it, that does not tell you for certain where it is.
A running engine is not proof that the key is in the car. Some cars with a start button continue to run after the key is out of range, but may not start again once the engine is turned off. If the key is lost, opening the car and replacing the key are separate problems.
Looking after it
Once you have your keys back, keep them in a pocket or bag rather than setting them in the trunk while you unload.
Before closing it, make sure you have the keys in hand and that nothing is caught in the opening. A push button car may still allow the trunk to close with a key inside, so do not rely on the car to prevent a lockout.
Keep a spare key somewhere accessible to you, but not hidden on the vehicle. If the trunk does not stay latched, avoid driving until an auto repair shop has checked it. For a release that does not respond, consult your owner's manual or an auto repair shop. If your keys are locked in the vehicle again and you cannot reach a spare, call us to open it for you.
Your questions, answered
Could my car alarm sound when the door is opened with my key locked inside?
Yes, the alarm may sound if the car's security system is armed. The system may react to an unexpected entry even though your key is inside. Once you have the key, its unlock button or starting the car may silence the alarm, although the response varies by vehicle.
Will unlocking my push button car let me start it if I lost the key?
No, unlocking the car does not by itself provide the key signal needed to start it. A push button car normally has to detect a compatible key before it will start, so getting inside and getting back on the road are separate issues. You may need a replacement key if yours is lost.
Can a dead battery keep my trunk release from working when my doors are unlocked?
Yes, a dead battery may keep the trunk release from working. The release may rely on electrical power, so an unlocked door does not mean it will respond. Some vehicles have other access options, but those vary by model and may be affected by the car's settings. Avoid forcing the trunk lid if it stays shut.
