What to Do with Car Locks that Won't Lock
Like most things, car locks have a special purpose that we expect them to do at all times. Obviously, as motorists, we expect car locks to lock tightly and securely when we press on that magical button on the key fob. We expect car locks to protect the insides of our vehicles from getting broken into when step out of the car and go about our day. Most importantly, we expect our car locks to protect our vehicle and to keep it from being driven away by drivers other than ourselves.
All of the above are but simple tasks we expect a car lock to do, but sometimes, when Lady Luck isn't on our side, the car locks we know and trust can fail.
Apparently, car locks, like many things, can succumb to the elements and break. Car locks may even fail to fulfill their primary task: to lock.
What do you do when a car lock breaks apart? If your answer is to get it replaced or repaired, you are absolutely correct; however, this is easier said than done when you are dealing with locks for cars. Unlike locks on doors, the lock system for vehicles can be tricky to repair or install. Locks for vehicles are best handled and manipulated with, with the right set of car locksmithing tools. If you have none of these tools, attempting to touching your vehicle with anything else could damage the exterior (or even, the interior) of your vehicle.
Good Car Locks Gone Bad: Dealing with a Lockout
A damaged car lock shows signs that it is failing at its job or has broken entirely when it fails to lock your doors OR when it fails to open even when you have the right key to reopen it. Any instance where you are locked out of your vehicle is what we call a lockout.
Lockouts are not only stressful, they can be difficult to recover from if you don't have the right locksmiths to call. Many people deal with the stress of a lockout by doing something that's entirely counterproductive: they pick up a hard object and smash their own windows with it. If this sounds like something you'd do when you are stressed by broken locks, save our hotline on your phone immediately. We'll save you when you are locked out of your vehicle or whenever you are dealing with malfunctioning locks.
