There’s never a good time to have to deal with a car lockout. But, with the right auto locksmith on the way, it doesn’t have to be the huge hassle you might be expecting. Our trained technicians here at FA Locksmith can get you back in your car and on the road before you’ve even had the time to rearrange your entire schedule. And, we’ll come to wherever you are in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill!
Here are a few more things you should know about our car lockout services.
We can help with cars of all makes and models
As locksmiths, we’ve had to adapt to the times to keep up with new, ever-evolving technology. And that means that we’re trained in car key problems for both classic cars and newer models.
Whether you need a replacement key for your 1980 Ford or a new fob for your 2022 BMW, we’ve got the key cutting/programming machines and experience to get you a new set.
We can extract broken keys
Often, when we receive calls about keys broken in the car door, our clients are shocked that they physically snapped their key. But, it happens more frequently than you think!
Instead of trying to pry the broken key out yourself, leave it up to the pros. We’ll safely extract the key without further damaging the lock.
We can fix your ignition problems
Maybe you have access to your car but the ignition doesn’t seem to be responsive. In these cases, many people automatically think of calling a mechanic. But an auto locksmith can help with this too! We’re trained to fix a range of ignition problems to save you the cost of having to tow your car to a mechanic.
We’ll get you back in your trunk or glove compartment
Getting locked out of the trunk or glove box of your car can range from mildly inconvenient to a serious problem—especially if you get pulled over and have no way of accessing your registration!
Don’t put off regaining access to your trunk or glove compartment. FA Locksmith can open these types of locks in no time.
We make it look simple (but there’s a lot of training behind what we do)
One of the compliments we love to hear is when our clients are surprised at how fast we work. The truth is, even though we can get you back on the road quickly, there are a lot of safety measures we take to keep your locks, ignition, and car operating system in good condition. Here’s how:
- We used highly specialized equipment. When you see us arrive on scene, you’ll notice that we come with a range of equipment. We carry everything from key extraction kits with tiny tools that won’t damage the internal cylinder of your lock to air wedges to the latest programming machines. This allows us to cover a range of different auto locksmith services.
- We invest in the latest software. Nowadays, it’s not enough to have a key programming machine. We also need to make sure we’re investing in the most recent updates to keep up with security developments from car manufacturers.
- We go through continual training. From picking locks to fixing ignitions to working with programming machines, we know that the more training we have, the faster we can get you on the road. That’s why we continue to train and learn to better serve our clients.
We’ll ask you a few questions when you call
When you need an auto locksmith to help with a lockout, there are a few questions you should be ready to answer, including:
- Your location. Wherever you are in the Triangle Area, we’ll be on the way to help you with your lockout.
- Your make, model, and VIN number. This information is necessary for us to verify ownership of the car.
- Whether you need a replacement key or lockout services. This gives us a better understanding of what kind of service we’ll be able to help you with. If it’s a standard lockout, we can safely gain access to your car. If it’s a replacement key service, we’ll be able to bring along a spare from our inventory.
From there, we’ll be able to give you an estimate and an accurate time frame for when we’ll arrive!
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured
When it comes to your car, you want an auto locksmith who is not only reliable and skilled, but also licensed, bonded and insured. We’re happy to provide our credentials to give our clients peace of mind that they’re working with verified professionals in the Triangle Area.

We know that lockouts don’t only happen during normal business hours, which is why we can offer auto locksmith services whenever you need them! No matter where you are in Raleigh, Durham or Chapel Hill, FA Locksmith is happy to assist with your car lockout.
