Trunk Lockout Service

We don't publish flat rates because the honest answer is that price depends on several real factors: the make and model of your vehicle (luxury and European models often have more complex locking systems), the type of trunk mechanism involved, the time of day you call, and travel distance to your location. What we always do is provide a confirmed, upfront price before any work begins — so you know exactly what you're paying before our technician touches your car. Call (973) 381-2160 for a no-obligation quote specific to your situation.

A call-out fee — sometimes called a service call fee — is a charge for dispatching a technician to your location, separate from the cost of the actual work performed. Whether and how a call-out fee applies varies by company. At T & Y Keys Rockaway, we explain every component of your price upfront before work starts, so you're never surprised by a charge you weren't told about. The factors that shape your total — travel distance within the Rockaway area, time of day, and the complexity of the lock or vehicle — are all disclosed clearly before we begin.

For a standard trunk lockout, a mobile locksmith is almost always the faster and more practical option. Dealerships typically require you to tow the vehicle to their facility, schedule service during business hours, and may charge a diagnostic fee on top of the opening. A qualified mobile locksmith comes to wherever your car is sitting — a parking lot, a street, a driveway — at any hour, and in most cases opens the trunk without any need for parts or programming. For situations that genuinely require dealer-level electronics, we'll tell you honestly rather than attempt work outside our scope.

In the vast majority of cases, yes. Our trained technicians assess the specific locking mechanism on your vehicle before choosing an approach, and damage-free entry is always the first priority. For mechanically actuated trunks, non-destructive methods succeed almost universally. For electronically integrated systems, we use specialized automotive tools designed to work with the vehicle's design rather than against it. The rare exception is a lock that is already physically damaged or jammed before we arrive — in that case, we explain the situation and your options before proceeding with anything.

Yes. T & Y Keys Rockaway operates around the clock, every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. There is no after-hours surcharge hidden in fine print — we do disclose time-of-day as one of the factors in pricing, and all of that is communicated upfront. Whether you're locked out at noon in a Rockaway Townsquare parking lot or at midnight on a quiet Morris County back road, calling (973) 381-2160 will connect you with a live person who dispatches a technician to your location.

Absolutely. Automotive trunk and door lockouts are a significant part of what we do, but T & Y Keys Rockaway is a full-service mobile locksmith.
