Car Lockout Service in Raleigh, Durham & the Triangle

Keys on the seat, door locked, and you’re standing in a parking lot looking through the window at them. It happens to everyone eventually. Call (919) 230-4498 and Williams Towing Fleet will send a driver to open your vehicle without damage, 24 hours a day, anywhere in Raleigh, Durham, RTP, RDU Airport, Morrisville, Cary, Apex or Holly Springs.

No coat hangers, no broken weather stripping, no scratched paint. Our drivers use professional inflatable wedges and long-reach tools that open the door the way a locksmith would, then leave it exactly as they found it.

Lockouts We Handle

• Keys locked inside – on the seat, in the ignition, in a bag in the trunk.
• Key fob locked in the car – some push-button cars will lock with the fob inside if it’s in a bag or a blind spot.
• Child or pet locked in – call us and call 911 if the weather is hot; we treat these as the top priority.
• Trunk lockouts – keys shut in the trunk with the cabin locked.
• Frozen or jammed locks – rare here, but ice storms do happen.
• Work trucks and vans – contractor vans, box trucks and fleet vehicles.

If your key is lost rather than locked inside, we can open the vehicle so you can retrieve a spare, or tow it to a dealer or locksmith who can cut and program a new one.

How We Open Your Vehicle

1. Call (919) 230-4498. Give us your location, the year, make and model, and which door you’d like opened.
2. Proof of ownership. For your protection the driver will ask to see ID and, once the door is open, registration or insurance showing the vehicle is yours.
3. Wedge and reach. An inflatable wedge creates a small gap at the top of the door; a long-reach tool presses the unlock button or pulls the handle from inside.
4. Check and close. The driver makes sure the door seals, the window works and nothing is marked.

Most lockouts take just a few minutes once the driver arrives.

While You Wait

• If a child or pet is inside and it’s warm out, call 911 first. Interior temperatures climb fast, even with the windows cracked.
• Stay near the vehicle so the driver can find you, but out of traffic lanes if you’re on a road.
• Have your ID handy and know where your registration or insurance card is inside the vehicle.
• Don’t try to force a window or pry the door yourself – the damage costs more than the service call.

Lockout FAQ

Will opening the door damage my car?

No. Inflatable wedges and long-reach tools open the door without marking paint, glass or the seal.

Can you open any make and model?

Nearly all cars, trucks, SUVs and vans. A few high-security vehicles need dealer tools; we’ll tell you on the phone if yours is one of them.

How much does a lockout cost?

Call (919) 230-4498 with your location and vehicle and the dispatcher will quote it before dispatching.

Do I need to prove the car is mine?

Yes. The driver will ask for ID and registration or insurance. It protects you as much as anyone.
