Car Unlock & Lockout Service in Calgary
Keys locked inside, or locked out of your car? RST provides 24/7 mobile car unlock and lockout assistance across Calgary — we come to you to get you back in.
Car Unlock & Lockout Help in Calgary
Keys locked inside the car, a fob that's stopped responding, or keys lost entirely — a car lockout can happen to anyone, and it's rarely convenient. It often happens in a parking lot, outside a store, or right in your own driveway with somewhere to be. RST provides 24/7 mobile car unlock and vehicle lockout assistance at your location across Calgary and surrounding areas. Our roadside service team uses a basic car unlock kit to assist customers who have locked their keys inside their vehicles, subject to vehicle accessibility and ownership verification.
What Not To Do
Avoid trying to force entry with tools, coat hangers, or by prying at the door or window — this is a common way people accidentally damage door panels, weatherstripping, or the glass itself, sometimes turning a simple lockout into a more expensive repair.
Vehicle LockoutWhile You Wait
Stay with your vehicle in a safe, visible location. If you're at night or in an unfamiliar area, wait somewhere well-lit if possible.
How RST Can Help
RST comes to you. Our roadside team provides mobile car unlocking at your location using a basic car unlock kit rather than improvised methods. We take care to work around the doors, locks, and trim, though results can vary by vehicle. We don't cut, replace, or program keys — if a key is lost, a dealership or locksmith can help afterward.
If Towing Is Needed Instead
A lockout on its own rarely requires towing. If your vehicle also has a separate mechanical issue once you're back inside, we can arrange light-duty towing from the same visit.
Vehicle Ownership & Identity Verification
For the security of vehicle owners, RST Roadside Service & Towing requires reasonable verification of ownership or authorization before unlocking any vehicle.
Customers may be asked to provide vehicle registration or other proof of ownership. If ownership documents are unavailable or inaccessible inside the locked vehicle, RST reserves the right to request a valid driver's licence or government-issued photo identification and additional information to establish authorization.
RST reserves the right to refuse or discontinue unlocking services if ownership or authorization cannot be reasonably verified.
What to Tell Dispatch
Car unlock help is part of RST's 24/7 roadside assistance. A few quick details help our driver arrive ready to get you back in:
- Your location — address, parking lot, or nearest cross streets
- Your vehicle's year, make, model, and colour
- Whether the keys are locked inside the car or lost entirely
- Accessibility — whether the car is on a street, in a driveway, or in a parking structure

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you unlock a car with the keys locked inside?
Yes. RST provides mobile car unlocking at your location using a basic car unlock kit. Tell us your vehicle's make and model when you call, since the approach can vary by vehicle.
Will you damage my car getting me back in?
We take care to work around the doors, locks, and trim, but results can vary by vehicle, so we can't promise a damage-free unlock. A proper unlock kit is far less likely to cause damage than improvised tools like coat hangers.
Are you available 24/7 for car lockouts in Calgary?
Yes. RST provides car unlock and lockout assistance 24/7 across Calgary and surrounding areas. Call (403) 458-6010 and describe your situation.
What if I lost my keys entirely, not just locked them inside?
We can help you get back into the vehicle, but a lost key typically needs to be replaced or reprogrammed by a dealership or locksmith afterward — RST does not cut, replace, or program keys.
