I'm Locked Out of My Car!

What Now? 

Tips from Orlando's Fastest Locksmith

Ever forget to check your pocket for the keys before closing that car door? That initial second after realizing what you have done is the worst. You peek into the car to see that yes, indeed, the keys are sitting on the passenger seat where you left them. Panic then starts to set in, especially if you either do not have a spare key or have a spare key but it is not at the particular location you’re stuck at. You may also have been in a rush that day, already late for the daily morning meeting at work, or running your kids to their 5:30 soccer practice. Have no fear, Prolocksmith is here and with some great tips of what to do if and when you find yourself in such a situation. 

Be Safe and Don't Panic

The steps of what to do when you are locked out of your own vehicle are simple:
  1. Remain Calm. It is easy to panic when you see the mistake you have made, but this will not help the situation. Take a deep breath, and keep your mind clear. Instead of wasting time stressing over the situation and wondering how you could have possibly done that, work on the future. Use your energy to try to figure out and fix the situation as quickly as possible.
  2. Prioritize. The first thing you should do in this situation is to call a professional locksmith company. Once you have explained a situation and a technician is on their way, you should feel relaxed. A trained technician will now take control and help you get back into your car!
  3. Remember your plans. Whatever you were doing when you got locked out of your car, we know that you were either going somewhere or had just arrived somewhere. Oftentimes, you already had plans for the rest of the day that are being affected. If this is the case, ask yourself what you must do. Are you late to work? You should call your boss and let them know about the situation. Were you bringing your son to his last soccer game? Call another teammate’s parents to see if they can drive him if it’s really important. If the game isn’t important, text the coach and let him know your son won’t be making it. No matter what the circumstances, it will put your mind at ease to sort out the rest of your day and how it was affected by this situation while you wait for a lockout company to come to the rescue. 

Call for Emergency Service

Car lockouts can be stressful enough, so choosing the right professional company to come and save you is important. After all, do you want to be waiting forever for a company that does not value your time? The right locksmith company will be one that cares about your time and getting you back on the road as soon as possible.

programming a key without using OBD
By Prolocksmith Orlando May 19, 2026
Can you program a key without using the On-Board Diagnosis (OBD) computer? The answer is no. Using the OBD port is not necessary in some cases, but fobs and transponders can never be programmed without the car in the vicinity. This is because they always have to access the OBD using the port or in some other way. Can the programming be done by the car owner without accessing the OBD port? Yes, but only if you, the car owner, are up for the challenge.
