Car Lockout Service
If you have ever watched the clock tick at the Walmart on U.S. 1 or sat stranded in a parking lot off Sebastian Boulevard with your keys clearly visible through the window, you already know how quickly a car lockout turns a normal day sideways. Sebastian Locksmith operates around the clock as a fully mobile service — meaning our trained, insured technicians drive to wherever you are in the Sebastian area rather than asking you to come to us. We resolve most situations the same day, often within the hour, with tools and methods designed to protect your vehicle's finish and door frame.
Open 24 hours, 7 days a week · Licensed, bonded & insured
“This page is specifically about our car lockout service, but we also field a constant stream of calls from residents locked out of their homes, businesses, and storage units — so you will see that full range of expertise reflected in the team that arrives at your window. One thing we will never do is start work before you have agreed to an exact, confirmed price. The final quote depends on factors like your vehicle make and lock type, the time of day, travel distance to your location, and whether any parts are needed — and we walk through all of that with you on the phone before a technician is ever dispatched.

Fast, Damage-Free Car Lockout Service Across Sebastian
A locked vehicle is not just inconvenient — it can become a genuine safety issue on a busy stretch of Indian River Drive or during the afternoon heat that rolls through Brevard County in summer. Our technicians use professional non-destructive entry tools that are matched to the specific lock mechanism of your car, truck, or SUV. Every attempt is made to open the door without leaving marks on the paint, weather stripping, or interior trim. If you drive a late-model vehicle with a complex locking system, or an older pickup with a manual lock rod, the approach is different — and our team carries equipment for both.
We are available every hour of every day, including holidays and early-morning call-outs when the rest of Sebastian is still quiet. When you reach us at 772-732-0485, a real person answers, confirms your location, reviews the relevant price factors with you on the spot, and dispatches the nearest available technician. There are no hidden fees added after the job and no pressure to purchase additional services you did not request.
Vehicle Locksmith Services: What We Handle on Every Call

A word on kiosk key-copying services — you may have noticed a KeyMe kiosk located inside the Walmart on U.S. 1 here in Sebastian. Kiosks like that are marketed under slogans such as Copy Any Key at Our Kiosk and they can duplicate basic metal keys for home, office, and some older vehicles. They also handle simple access cards and fobs. If you have a standard key with no electronics and a good original to copy from, a kiosk visit can work. However, a kiosk cannot program a transponder chip, cut a laser-track or sidewinder key, replace a lost smart key, or help you when you are already locked out. That is exactly where a trained mobile locksmith fills the gap — we handle everything the kiosk is not built for, including emergency situations.
Beyond the Car: Home Lockout Service and Commercial Help Sebastian Residents Need
While our focus on this page is vehicle lockouts, the same technicians who arrive at your car are equally prepared for a home lockout service call or a commercial lockout at your business. If you have been asking yourself 'What can I do if I get locked out of my house?' — the short, honest answer is: check every possible secondary entrance first, try a trusted neighbor who holds a spare, and if neither option works, call a professional. Do not attempt to force a window or use improvised tools, as doing so risks injury and damage that costs far more than a locksmith visit.
For home and commercial calls we work across the full range of lock hardware. Our technicians handle mortise lock systems — the older, robust rectangular units common in Sebastian's historic downtown storefronts and many of the mid-century homes near the waterfront — as well as standard door knob locks, deadbolts, lever sets, keypad locks, and high-security cylinders. If you need a commercial locksmith for a retail space, office suite, or storage facility, we bring the same 24/7 availability and same no-surprises pricing commitment that applies to every vehicle call. Call 772-732-0485 any time — we answer around the clock.
Pricing, Response, and What to Expect From an Emergency Car Lockout Call
People searching for information on how much a 24-hour locksmith costs, or how much it costs to get locked out of a house, reasonably want a number — but an honest locksmith will tell you that a single figure is misleading without context. The variables that shape your quote include the type of lock or vehicle security system involved, whether programming equipment or replacement parts are needed, the time of day (overnight and holiday calls involve different operational costs), and the distance our technician travels to reach you. Every one of those factors is reviewed with you on the phone before dispatch, and the price we quote is the price you pay — no additions at the end of the job.
On the question of whether police can help if you are locked out of your house or vehicle: in some situations a patrol officer may check on your welfare or confirm ownership of a vehicle, but law enforcement officers are not equipped to open locks and are not dispatched for lockout calls as a standard matter. The practical solution in Sebastian — whether you are locked out of your car on Easy Street or out of your home near Riverview Park — is to call a qualified locksmith who carries the right tools, can verify ownership through standard documentation, and can resolve the situation quickly and without damage.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can you reach me for a car lockout in Sebastian?
Our technicians are mobile and staged throughout the Sebastian area, so response times vary by your exact location and current call volume. When you call 772-732-0485, we give you a realistic estimated arrival window based on where you are — whether that is a residential street near Hardee Park, a commercial lot on U.S. 1, or anywhere else in the area. We do not quote arrival times we cannot keep.
Will opening my car door damage the paint or weather stripping?
Our goal on every car lockout is to work without leaving a mark. We use professional non-destructive entry tools designed for specific vehicle types, and our technicians are trained to apply them correctly. On the rare occasion that a particular vehicle's design presents a higher-than-normal risk of cosmetic contact, we tell you before we begin so you can make an informed decision.
What can I do if I get locked out of my house?
First, walk the full perimeter and check every door and window that might have been left unlocked. Contact a family member or neighbor who holds a spare key. If neither of those options resolves it, call a professional locksmith rather than trying to force entry yourself — improvised methods risk injury and can damage door frames, locks, or windows in ways that are expensive to repair. Our team handles home lockout service calls around the clock and can work on everything from a standard door knob lock to a mortise lock system.
Can the police help me if I am locked out of my car or home?
Law enforcement officers in Sebastian will check on your safety and can confirm that you are the registered owner of a vehicle in some circumstances, but they do not carry locksmith tools and are not dispatched to open locks as a routine service. For a vehicle or home lockout you need a qualified locksmith. Our line at 772-732-0485 is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including every holiday.
How is the price determined for a lockout call?
Several factors come together to form your quote: the type of lock or security system on the vehicle or door, whether any replacement parts or programming equipment are required, the time of day, and the travel distance to your location. We review every relevant factor with you on the phone before a technician is dispatched and confirm an exact price up front. That number does not change when the job is done.
Do you handle commercial lockouts and mortise lock service, not just car lockouts?
Yes. The same trained, insured technicians who handle vehicle work are fully equipped for commercial locksmith calls — including mortise lock service on older storefronts and office buildings, re-key of commercial suites, high-security cylinder installation, and emergency after-hours access when a business owner or manager is locked out. We cover the full range of residential, commercial, and vehicle lock needs across Sebastian.
