Car key not working
How LockUnlocked fits in
We're a Los Angeles County dispatch platform, not a national chain. You submit your ZIP and what happened; independent locksmiths who cover that area see it and call to confirm timing and price before driving out.
You pay the locksmith directly for the work, agreed on the phone — there's no extra platform fee stacked on your side. If plans change, the SMS you get has a link to cancel.
What happens next
- You submit your ZIP and a short note about what happened.
- LockUnlocked routes the request to participating locksmiths who cover that ZIP.
- If a locksmith is available and accepts, they call to confirm timing and price before dispatch. You pay the locksmith directly for completed work.
Request a locksmith
Takes about a minute. No account and no upfront payment. If a participating locksmith is available and accepts your request, they call to confirm timing and price before dispatch.
What to include
- Your ZIP and cross streets
- Car or home — and which door if it's a place
- What actually happened, in plain words
This is wider than a lockout: fob batteries, immobilizer faults, worn cuts, and software resets sit on different branches. Say what still happens when you press buttons or turn the blade — it saves a second trip.
Quick checks
- Try the spare — if only one fob fails, battery or damage is likely.
- Note whether any dash light responds when you press Start or turn the key.
- Mention a recent jump-start — some vehicles lose key pairing until reprogrammed.
Key fob replacement — by area
