Child or pet locked in the car

Call 911 now: a closed car heats up quickly, even on a mild day. Then call us and we'll send the nearest available technician to open the car, but 911 always comes first.

Likely causes

  • Keys left inside and the doors locked themselves
  • A child pressed the lock button or the fob
  • Fob locked inside with a sleeping child or pet
  • Doors locked while loading groceries or a stroller

Try this first

  • Call 911 now
  • While you wait, try every door, the trunk and your car's app
  • Talk to the child calmly; if they're old enough, ask them to press the unlock button
  • Shade the windows from outside if you can
  • If 911 tells you to break a window, pick the one farthest from the child or pet

When to call us

  • Right after you've called 911
  • 911 is on the way and you want a second way to get the car open
  • The child or pet is out safely and the car still needs to be unlocked

In danger or blocking traffic? Call 911 first.

We come to where your car is

Day or night: your driveway, the parking garage at work or the shoulder of the freeway.

Questions

01Should I call 911 or a lockout service first?

Call 911 first, every time. Emergency responders can help get the car open and check on the child or pet. Call us right after, as a second way in.

02Is it still an emergency if it isn't hot outside?

Yes. A closed car traps heat even on a cool, sunny day, and young children and pets overheat sooner than adults. Treat it as an emergency in any weather.
