Car lockout · 24/7

Locked Out of Your Car in Skopje

Keys shut inside, boot locked, engine running. We open the vehicle where it stands, without breaking anything.

In short

Car opened on the spot without damage, day or night, anywhere in Skopje. If a child or a pet is inside, say so immediately and the call is prioritised.

Before you call

Check every door and the boot. It sounds obvious and it solves a meaningful share of these calls before anyone has to pay for anything.

Do not try to force a window or lever the door with a screwdriver. Modern door seals and window regulators cost far more to repair than the opening does.

If a child or an animal is locked inside, tell us at the start of the call. Those go to the front of the queue, and in a genuine emergency you should also call the emergency services on 112.

How the opening actually works

The car is opened through the door mechanism using specialist tools, not by breaking glass and not by damaging the lock. Done properly it leaves no trace.

Some vehicles are more awkward than others, and a few modern security designs take longer. We will say so on the phone rather than discovering it in front of you.

Rental cars and hire cars

This is the most common version of this call from visitors. Opening the car does not void anything and does not require the rental company's permission, but you should tell them afterwards.

You will need the rental agreement and your ID before we open it. Any locksmith who opens a car without asking for that is a problem, not a convenience.

If the key is inside and the engine is running

It happens more often than people admit, usually while loading luggage. Do not wait, because a running engine in a locked car is both a fuel and a safety issue.

Call and say the engine is running. It changes the priority of the job.

Where we come

Anywhere in Skopje, including the city centre, the airport road, shopping centre car parks, and out towards Matka in Saraj municipality where trailhead lockouts are common.

Give us the exact location and whether the car is on the street or inside a garage. In central Skopje, access and parking restrictions cause more delay than distance does.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Will opening the car damage it?No, when it is done properly. We open through the door mechanism, not by breaking glass.

There is a child locked in the car. What do I do?Call us and say that immediately so it is prioritised, and in a genuine emergency call 112 as well. Do not wait politely in a queue for this.

Can you open a rental car?Yes, with the rental agreement and your ID. Tell the rental company afterwards, as most contracts require it.

How fast can you be here?Usually 15 to 30 minutes depending on where in the city you are and the traffic. You get a realistic estimate on the phone.

What if the key is lost rather than locked inside?Then it becomes a key replacement job rather than an opening. See car key replacement.
