How Do We Unlock Your Car?
At Sunny Coast Car Keys, we use specialist tools and technology to unlock your car quickly, safely, and without causing any damage. We can open a variety of locking systems, from traditional key-and-lock vehicle to late model smart key systems. Here’s how we get your vehicle unlocked:
- What type of Locking System?
When we first arrive, we’ll assess your vehicle’s locking system. Every make and model is different, so understanding the locking mechanism ensures we get your car unlocked quickly and without damage.
- Specialised Automotive Locksmith Tools
We use non-invasive, professional-grade tools designed specifically for unlocking vehicles. Rather than using potentially damaging tools like slim jims or wedges, we use advanced lock-picking techniques. This allows us to open your car as if the original key were being used—without any risk of damaging the doors, windows, or frame.
- Safe Techniques
Our locksmiths are trained in techniques that prioritise your vehicle’s safety. For cars with electronic or smart locks, we use decoding tools or bypass systems to unlock the doors without tampering with the delicate electronics. - Fast and Efficient Service
In most cases, unlocking your car takes only a few minutes. We know you’re in a hurry, so we work quickly to minimise disruption to your day.
Lock Picking – The 100% Damage-Free Method
At Sunny Coast Car Keys, we pride ourselves on using the safest and most effective method to unlock vehicles which is lock-picking. Unlike traditional methods that rely on wedges, slim jims, or other tools that can potentially damage your car’s doors, windows, or locking mechanism, our mobile locksmiths use advanced lock-picking techniques.
How Does Lock-Picking Work?
Lock-picking is a highly skilled technique that allows us to unlock your car exactly as if the original key were being used. We use specialist automotive picks and decoders to manipulate the lock’s internal pins, replicating the movement of a key turning in the ignition. This means your vehicle’s lock remains completely undamaged, and there is zero risk to your doors, windows, paint or security system.
Why Is Lock-Picking the Best Option?
100% Damage-Free – Unlike wedges or prying tools that can bend the door frame or scratch paint, lock-picking leaves no trace of entry.
Works on All Lock Types – Whether your vehicle has a standard key lock or a high-security system, we have the tools and expertise to pick it open safely.
No Interference with Electronics – Many modern vehicles have sensitive electronic security systems. Our lock-picking method ensures that no wires, keyless entry systems, or immobilisers are disturbed.
Fast and Efficient – With years of experience, our locksmiths can unlock most vehicles in minutes using precision tools and techniques.

8 Tips on How to Get Back Into a Locked Car
Locking yourself out of your car can be stressful, but with the right approach, you can resolve the issue quickly and safely. Here are ten tips to help you get back into your vehicle without causing damage or unnecessary hassle:
- Stay Calm
Panicking won’t help. Take a deep breath and assess the situation. If you’re running late, notify your appointment or destination about the delay, buy yourself some time. - Check All Doors and Windows
Seems obvious, but walk around your car to see if any doors or windows are unlocked or down. Don’t forget to check the boot, it’s often overlooked and may provide you with way in. - Evaluate the Urgency
Consider if you need to access the car immediately. Do you have children or pets locked in the car? If it’s not an emergency, you might be able to use alternative transport and return to the car later with a spare key or assistance. - Use a Mobile Locksmith
For immediate help, a professional automotive locksmith, like Sunny Coast Car Keys, can unlock your vehicle safely and quickly. They’re equipped to handle all types of locks and vehicles. - Emergency Situations
If a child or pet is locked in the car, act immediately. Call emergency services or a local automotive locksmith. For critical cases, you may need to break a window—aim for a corner and use a blunt object while keeping safety in mind. - DIY Solutions (With Caution)
For older cars, you might try using a slim tool like a shoelace, wire hanger, or wedge. However, newer models often have more complex locking systems, some DIY attempts can result in vehicle damage costing more than the services of a mobile locksmith. - Avoid Breaking In Unless Necessary
Damaging your car to gain entry can be costly. Breaking windows or damaging locks should be a last resort unless someone inside the car is in danger. - Prevent Future Lockouts
To avoid similar situations, keep a spare key in a secure but accessible location, such as at home, with a trusted friend, or in a hide-a-key box on your vehicle. You can also consider investing in a key tracker to quickly locate your keys.
