Call us first; here's what to do while we drive

Get somewhere safe — out of a travel lane on Gulf of Mexico Drive or a condo entry. If a child or pet is locked inside in the heat, call 911 first; it is a true emergency.
Don't try a coat hanger or wedge. Modern doors, airbags, and wiring damage easily, and that repair costs far more than a lockout.
Have your ID ready. We confirm the vehicle is yours before we open it.
Tell us the year, make, and model so we bring the right tools.

How a Longboat Key Car-Lockout Call Usually Goes

You call. Tell us your spot on the island and the vehicle, and we confirm an arrival window.
We come to you. We reach the island via St. Armands and the north bridge; we give an honest arrival window for island travel.
We open it non-destructively. Professional tools open the door without damage to the lock, paint, or window.
You're back in. If the keys turn out to be lost rather than locked inside, we can usually cut and program a new one on the spot.

Where on Longboat Key We Handle the Most Car-Lockout Calls

Gulf-front condo lots along Gulf of Mexico Drive. Guest and visitor parking where keys get left in the car.
Beach accesses and parks. A swim, and the keys are locked inside.
The south end near St. Armands. Rentals and day visitors unfamiliar with a rental car.

What Affects Your Longboat Key Car-Lockout Quote

Time of day — standard hours are 7 AM to 10 PM; after-hours on-call is available at different rates.
Vehicle type — most cars are straightforward; some high-security models take longer.
Lost vs. locked-in — if the key is truly lost, replacing it is a separate, larger job than a simple open.

We confirm the price before any work begins — no surprises, no hidden fees.

What we don't do during a car lockout

We open vehicles for the verified owner or an authorized driver only, and we ask for ID first — it protects you and your car. We don't force entry that damages the vehicle, and we don't quote an ultra-low bait price and raise it on arrival. If a key needs to be made, we tell you that up front.

FAQs

How fast can you reach me on Longboat Key?

During business hours we reach the island via St. Armands and the north bridge. Because of island travel, we always give you an honest arrival window.

Will you damage my car?

No. We use professional non-destructive tools that open the door without harming the lock, paint, or window.

What if my keys are locked in the trunk?

We can usually reach the cabin and access the trunk from there, or open the trunk directly depending on the vehicle.

Do you need proof the car is mine?

Yes — a photo ID and confirmation you're the owner or an authorized driver. It's standard and protects you.

What if the key is actually lost?

Then it becomes a car key replacement — we can usually cut and program a new one on the spot.
