Locked Out? Car, House, Apartment, Business & Storage Unit Lockout Service

Getting locked out never happens at a good time. Keys on the car seat, a front door that clicked shut behind you, an office key that went home with an employee, or a storage unit padlock with no key in sight. Titan Lock & Key is a mobile lockout locksmith that comes to you and gets you back in without damage: car lockout, house lockout, apartment lockout, office and business lockout, or storage unit lockout. When you search for a locksmith near me after getting locked out, we're the local team that shows up. We help people in Naperville, Aurora, Joliet, Bolingbrook, Plainfield, Wheaton, Downers Grove and across DuPage, Will and Kane counties, 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM every day.

This guide covers every common type of lockout, how professional lockout service works, what to do while you wait, and when a lockout should turn into a rekey or a new key.

Car Lockout Service: Keys Locked in Car, Trunk or Truck

Keys locked in car or trunk

The most common call we get. Keys on the seat, in the cupholder or in the trunk, and every door is locked. We unlock car doors on cars, trucks and SUVs with professional automotive entry tools that don't scratch paint or tear weatherstripping, then open the trunk if the keys are inside it.

Keys locked in a running car

With remote start or a push-to-start fob left inside, the engine may keep running after you step out. These calls are handled as a priority.

Child or pet locked in the car

Call 911 first, especially in heat or cold. Then call us and we'll head to you as well.

Truck, van and semi truck lockouts

Pickups, work vans, fleet vehicles and semi trucks each have different door designs. We carry entry tools for all of them.

Frozen car locks and broken keys

Winter lockouts often come from a frozen lock or a key that snapped off in the door. Don't pour hot water on the lock, don't force the key and skip the WD-40; in most cases it makes the lock worse. We free frozen locks, extract broken keys and cut a new key on site.

House Lockout & Apartment Lockout Service

Locked out of house

The front door shut behind you, the deadbolt was locked from inside, or your keys are lost. We open most residential doors with lock picking and bypass tools that leave the lock working, so you don't need a broken window or a new door.

Apartment, condo and townhome lockouts

Locked out of your apartment after hours, or your building manager can't be reached? We help renters and owners alike. If you rent, check your lease; some landlords want to know before a lock is rekeyed or replaced.

Garage, side door and patio door lockouts

Locked out through the garage entry door, a side door, a sliding patio door or a storm door? We open them too, and can repair a lock or latch that caused the problem.

Locked bedroom, bathroom or interior door

A privacy lock on a bedroom or bathroom door can lock with no one inside, or with a small child inside. We open interior doors quickly without damaging the door or frame.

Lost house keys

If your keys are lost or stolen rather than locked inside, we can rekey your locks on the same visit so the old keys no longer work, and cut new keys on the spot.

Business, Office & Commercial Building Lockout Service

Office lockout, store and restaurant lockouts

Locked out of your shop before opening, or an employee left with the only key? We open commercial doors, storefront locks, mortise locks and keypad locks, and can rekey cylinders or cut new keys right away so your business opens on time.

Building, warehouse and back door lockouts

Warehouses, stockrooms, utility rooms and back doors often use heavy-duty commercial hardware. We open them without damage and check panic bars, door closers and exit devices while we're there.

File cabinet, desk and mailbox lockouts

Lost the key to a file cabinet, desk drawer, locker or mailbox? We open the lock and can make a new key or replace the lock so it's usable again.

Storage Unit Lockout, Padlock Removal & Gate Lockouts

Lost the key to your storage unit padlock, or the combination won't open? We can pick or remove storage unit locks, padlocks and gate locks so you can get to your things. Storage facilities usually require proof that the unit is yours before a lock is removed, so bring your rental agreement and ID.

How Our Lockout Locksmith Service Works

1. Call with your location and what you're locked out of. For a car, include the year, make and model.
2. We come to you in a fully equipped service van.
3. We confirm you're authorized. Expect to show ID plus proof of residence, ownership or authorization (lease, registration, rental agreement). It protects you and everyone else.
4. We open the lock without damage using professional entry tools, picking or bypass methods.
5. We check the lock and fix anything that caused the lockout, or rekey and cut new keys if your keys are lost.

What to do while you wait

• Stay somewhere safe and well lit near the door or vehicle.
• Have your ID ready, plus a lease, registration or rental agreement if you have it.
• Don't pry the door, break a window or drill the lock. That turns a quick lockout into a repair.

When a lockout should become a rekey or a new key

If your keys were lost or stolen, opening the door isn't enough; anyone who finds them can get in. We can rekey your locks on the same visit. For vehicles, we keep most car keys and key fobs in stock and can program a new one on site. See our guide to car key replacement when all keys are lost.

I lost the key to my storage unit padlock. Can you help?

Yes. We can pick or remove storage unit padlocks and disc locks. Bring your rental agreement and ID, since most facilities require proof the unit is yours.

Can you open locked file cabinets, desks and mailboxes?

Yes. We open file cabinets, desk drawers, lockers and mailbox locks, and can make a new key or replace the lock.

My keys are locked in a running car. What should I do?

Call right away and stay near the vehicle. If a child or pet is inside, call 911 first. Keys locked in a running car are handled as a priority.

My keys were lost, not locked inside. What should I do?

Have the locks rekeyed so the lost keys stop working. We can rekey house and business locks on the same visit, and make new car keys on site for most vehicles.
