If you’ve never been in an emergency lockout situation until now, consider yourself lucky, but it happens to the best of us. If you’re locked out of your car and wondering what to do next, it’s important to remember to stay calm. Most lockout situations aren’t dire, however, there are a few things you should ask yourself when you get into a lockout situation in the greater Columbus area. Here are a few safety factors to consider when you’re in a lockout situation, and be sure to contact Buckeye Locksmith when you need assistance.

  1. Consider the area you’re in, if you’re in an area of town that feels unsafe, consider going to the nearest shop while you wait for lockout assistance
  2. Make sure everyone is safe if they are in the car. Small children and dogs can overheat quickly on a hot day. If there’s good reason to believe they’re in danger, you should contact emergency services rather than a locksmith.
  3. Ask yourself if your car will be ok until morning. On a few rare occasions, most likely past midnight, you may not be able to contact a locksmith. Don’t risk your safety by staying with your car outside all night. In most situations and areas, your car will be fine until morning.
