Opening only
Car lockout in Aspe, keys on the seat and the doors shut
The doors locked with the key still inside: on the seat, in the ignition, in a bag in the boot. It happens on the driveway, outside a unit at the end of a shift and at a picnic spot in the hills. The car is opened without damage so you can take your own key out.

Please read first
We only offer vehicle lockout assistance and car door opening. We do not cut, replace, duplicate or program car keys.
None of the following is offered:
- Cutting, copying or duplicating keys of any kind
- Spare keys for houses, gates, garages, letterboxes or padlocks
- Car keys: no cutting, supplying, replacing or programming
- Transponder chips and vehicle remote controls
- Ignition barrels and ignition switches
- Keys for motorbikes, scooters or vans
If your key is lost rather than locked inside, an opening will get you into the car but not start it. Call your dealer or a specialist in car keys instead.
Where it happens
Locked cars in and around Aspe
Out in the hills. The Sierra de la Ofra holds the best-kept pine wood in the municipality, with a picnic area among the pines on the old road to Hondón, and the Hondo de las Fuentes is the town's own green space by the río Tarafa. Both are places people park, walk off and come back to a locked car. The guide on keys locked in the car at La Ofra covers what to try first.
At work. On the estates of Tres Hermanas, Avenida de Navarra and the Alicante road, a car locked in a yard at the end of a shift is covered too.
At home. On a driveway in Santa Elena or a finca track, keys left in the car after the shopping. If the house keys are inside the car too, you may need the door opened as well.
The neighbouring towns of Hondón de las Nieves, Hondón de los Frailes and Agost are covered for car openings like everything else: see where we go.
Step by step
What happens when you ring about a locked car
-
Where, and which car
A location pin, the make and model, and where the key is if you can see it.
-
An honest estimate of the drive
From wherever the van is at that moment. At night too: car openings are covered at any hour.
-
Proof that the car is yours
The papers are usually inside the car, and they are checked as soon as the door opens.
-
The door is opened
You take out your own key. That is the whole job.
For a late-night lockout at home, the emergency call-out page has the rest. The about page explains why this business keeps to opening, and the contact page has every way to reach us.
Asked on the phone
Car questions, answered straight
The car locked itself with the engine running. Is that the same job?
Yes. Whether the key is in the ignition, on the seat or in the boot, the job is to open the door without damage so that you can reach it.
I have lost my car key altogether. Can you make me a new one?
No. This business does not cut, supply, replace or program car keys, and does not work on transponders, remotes or ignitions. For a lost key, your dealer or a specialist in car keys is the right call; a car opening alone will not help you drive away.
Will opening the door set off the alarm or mark the paint?
The door is opened with tools made for the purpose, without forcing the frame or touching the paint. An alarm may sound when the door opens; it stops when you use your key or remote inside.
Is a hire car any different?
The method is the same. Ring the hire company first if you can: some have their own assistance line and their own rules about who may open the car.
