The key is in the cabin or the boot, the car has locked itself, or the key is gone altogether. This tends to happen at the worst possible moment. Please do not try to force the door or the window: that can damage the door mechanism, the weather seal or the paintwork.
Spacelocksmith helps with locked cars in Tbilisi as an on-call service. The technician assesses the car on site and chooses an opening method suited to its door and lock. If you are standing by a locked car right now, call us: 577 021 080.
If a child, a person who needs help or an animal is locked in the car, especially in heat or cold, call 112 immediately rather than waiting for a regular service.
What the service includes
- Opening a locked car door when the key is inside or lost
- Assessing the car door and lock before work begins
- Choosing the opening method to suit your specific car
- Checking with you that the doors, lock and windows work after opening
- Advice on the next step if the key is lost and you will need a new one
How it works
- Call Call us and tell us where the car is parked, its make, model and year, and where the key is. On the call we will confirm whether we can come to that location and when.
- Agreement We agree how you will confirm your right to open the car and who will meet us at the car.
- On-site assessment The technician inspects the car, explains any possible risks and agrees the price with you before starting.
- Opening and check The door is opened in the agreed way, and then together you check that the doors, lock and windows work normally.
What the price depends on
- The make, model and year of the car
- The design of the door and lock
- Whether the car has an alarm or an additional security system
- Where the key is: in the cabin, in the boot or lost
- Where the car is and the time of the visit
The price is agreed before the work starts, and the technician only begins once you have agreed.
Limitations and safety
Proof of right of access. We only open a car for its owner or for someone who has the right to use it. This right is confirmed before the service, and the way it is verified is agreed on the call.
Risk of damage. We try to work without damage, depending on what is possible and the specific case. Cars differ from one another, so we cannot promise the same result for every vehicle. The technician will explain the risks before starting.
When a different solution is needed. If the door lock is faulty or the key is lost, opening the door may not be enough, and you may also need a new key made and programmed. Whether this is possible for your make and model is confirmed on the call.
Life-threatening situations. A child, a person who needs help or an animal locked in a car, especially in hot or cold weather, is an emergency. In that case, contact 112 first.
Frequently asked questions
The car is not registered in my name; it belongs to a family member or a company. Can you open it?
It is possible if you have the right to use the car. In this case it is especially important to agree in advance, on the call, how this right will be confirmed.
I have lost the key completely. What should I do after the door is opened?
Opening the door does not solve the problem of starting the car. For a new key, see our car key making and programming service. Whether this is possible for your car is confirmed on the call.
The key fob no longer responds and the door will not open. Is that covered by this service?
Yes, if this is why you cannot get into the car, you can call us. Describe on the call what is happening: sometimes the cause is the key rather than the door lock, which changes the next step.
Do I need to be with the car until the technician arrives?
We will agree on the call who will meet us at the car and how the right to open it will be confirmed. Please do not leave a locked car unattended in a crowded or unsafe place.
