How Non-Damaging Entry Actually Works

When you request lockout assistance in Covington, the technician arrives with a slim jim, wedge tools, and electronic access devices depending on your vehicle model. The method used depends on the type of lock mechanism and whether your vehicle has manual or electronic entry systems. Older vehicles with manual locks typically require different tools than cars with keyless ignition or touch-sensitive handles.

After entry is gained, you will notice no scratches on the door frame, no bent weatherstripping, and no malfunctioning locks. The door opens exactly as it did before the lockout occurred. Your vehicle remains fully functional without damage to the paint, trim, or internal wiring that controls the locking system.

The entire process takes between five and fifteen minutes once the technician begins working. If entry cannot be achieved without risk of damage, the technician will explain alternative options before proceeding. Not all lockout situations can be resolved on-site, particularly with high-security vehicles that require dealer-level programming or vehicles with damaged lock mechanisms that were already failing before the lockout occurred.

Questions drivers ask before we arrive

Lockout situations create immediate stress, and most drivers have similar concerns about timing, cost, and vehicle safety before the technician arrives.

How long does it take to unlock my vehicle?
Most lockouts are resolved within five to fifteen minutes once the technician begins working. Response time depends on your location in Covington and current call volume.
What if my car has electronic locks or push-button start?
Rose Towing & Recovery handles electronic and keyless entry systems using specialized tools that do not interfere with the vehicle's computer. Some advanced systems may require additional time or alternative methods.
Will unlocking my car damage the door or window?
Non-damaging entry methods are used whenever possible, and most vehicles are unlocked without affecting the door, window, or weatherstripping. If damage is likely, the technician will inform you before proceeding.
What if I locked my keys in the trunk?
Trunk lockouts are handled by gaining entry to the vehicle cabin first, then using the interior trunk release. If the release is not functional, alternative access methods are available.
How much does lockout service cost?
Pricing depends on your location, time of day, and vehicle type. Rose Towing & Recovery offers budget-friendly rates with multiple payment options including cash, card, and digital payment.

Lockout situations do not improve with waiting, and standing outside your vehicle in a parking lot or along the roadside only adds frustration. Rose Towing & Recovery responds quickly to lockout calls throughout Covington, and most drivers are back inside their vehicles within twenty minutes of calling.
