What to do if you lock your keys in your car, step by step

1. Stay calm and stay safe

If you're at the roadside, stand well away from traffic. In cold weather, wait somewhere warm nearby if you can. Edmonton winters don't leave much room for waiting outside.

2. Check every door, the trunk and the windows

Walk around the vehicle and try every handle, the trunk or hatch, and look for a window that's open. It sounds obvious, but in a rush it's easy to miss.

3. Look for a spare key

Is there a spare at home, with a family member or with a friend nearby? If someone can bring it, that may be the simplest fix.

4. Try your vehicle's app or keypad

If your vehicle has a manufacturer app or a door keypad that's already set up, you may be able to unlock it from your phone or with your code.

5. Check your roadside coverage

If you have a roadside assistance plan (for example through AMA, your insurer or your vehicle's manufacturer), it may cover a lockout. Coverage depends on your plan.

6. Don't force it

Avoid coat hangers, prying the door or breaking a window unless it's an emergency. Forcing your way in can damage the door, weather stripping, lock or glass.

7. Call a mobile car lockout service

Call or text Revival Batteries at (587) 598-5658, 24/7. Tell us where you're parked, your vehicle make and model, where the keys are, and whether the engine is running. We come to your vehicle and unlock it.
