Lockout safety
Common Lockout Situations We Review
Lockouts can involve keys on a seat, a key fob left in the cabin, keys locked in a trunk, or a vehicle that locked while running. Each situation is different, so Roadside Responder reviews the vehicle details, location, and authorization before attempting service.
If a child, person, or pet is locked inside and may be in danger, call emergency services immediately before requesting standard roadside lockout help.

What Not to Do Before Help Arrives

- Stay in a safe waiting area.
- Have authorization or proof ready if requested.
- Tell us whether the keys are visible, in the trunk, or inside a running vehicle.
