Car door unlocking helps when the doors are locked and you can’t get into the vehicle safely on your own. The goal is to unlock the door in a controlled way and avoid any additional damage to the vehicle.

Most common situations we help with

Typical situations:

  • Keys are inside the car and the doors are locked
  • The remote key fob isn’t working (e.g., dead battery / interference)
  • The 12V battery is flat and central locking doesn’t work normally
  • The door won’t open even though the key works (e.g., lock mechanism stuck, doors frozen)
  • A child or pet is inside the car and the doors are locked — tell us immediately so we can prioritise the call

If you’re not sure what to do, call us — we’ll assess the situation and recommend the best solution.

What we do on-site

Car door unlocking is never done by force. Our goal is controlled access while minimising risk and preventing damage.

Door unlocking includes:

  • Situation assessment: vehicle, locking system and conditions
  • Controlled unlocking using the safest available methods
  • Guidance to the next-best option if unlocking isn’t sensible or safe without risk of damage

If the issue is caused by a flat 12V battery, we can also provide a jump start.

Don’t force the door open

On some vehicles or in certain conditions, forcing the door can increase the risk of damage (e.g., locking mechanism, seals, window structures). That’s why we always proceed carefully: if the risk is too high, we’ll tell you step away and recommend a smarter solution, such as towing to a repair shop.

What happens when you order door unlocking?

  1. You call our 24/7 hotline and briefly describe the situation (your location, whether keys are locked in the car, or the doors won’t open).
  2. You get an estimated arrival time and a price estimate before you place the order.
  3. We also check whether your insurance covers door unlocking (according to policy terms).
  4. The nearest available unit is dispatched.
  5. We unlock the door safely — or guide you to the next step if the risk of damage is too high.

How quickly will help arrive?

Typical arrival time is 15–60 minutes. Timing depends on your location, traffic, weather, and the nature of the job. If congestion or weather affects ETA, we’ll tell you right away on the phone.

How much does door unlocking cost – and will insurance cover it?

The price depends on, for example:

  • your location and travel distance
  • how long the job takes and how complex it is
  • time of day (day / night / holidays)
    You’ll get a price estimate in advance.

In many cases, door unlocking is covered by comprehensive or partial comprehensive insurance. We check coverage when you order, and when the policy terms are met, billing can be handled according to your insurance conditions.

We serve customers of all insurance companies – including If, OP Pohjola, LähiTapiola, POP Insurance, Fennia and Turva (and others according to policy terms).
