Common lockout situations in Chicago
Keys on the seat
Closed the door before grabbing the keys. Classic. We come, we open, you continue your day.
Child or pet locked inside
Flag this when you request — it triggers high urgency and the closest available Ally. If anyone is in danger, call 911 first, then us.
Dead key fob battery
Most modern fobs have a hidden mechanical key for exactly this. If you can't find it, we can usually still get you in — just call.
Frequently asked questions
Will you damage my door or window?
No. Our service providers are trained on non-destructive entry — air wedges and slim-jims, not drills.
What if I need a new key cut or programmed?
Key cutting and fob programming aren't part of the lockout service. We can get you back into the car — for replacement keys, your dealer or a locksmith is the right next step.
Can you help with house lockouts?
Not currently — Road Ally only handles vehicle lockouts.
My fob's battery is dead. Can you help?
Yes. Most modern fobs hide a mechanical key. If you can't find it or use it, request a lockout and your Ally will assist on-scene.
