Top 5 Reasons You Should Never Try to Unlock Your Car Yourself

When you're locked out, it's tempting to grab a coat hanger or screwdriver — but that can cost you far more than a locksmith.

Here's why you should always call a professional like AutoUnlock instead of trying DIY methods.

1. You can damage your door and paint.

Modern vehicles have complex locking systems. One wrong move and you'll scratch the paint or bend the window seal.

2. You might trigger the airbag or alarm system.

Cars with side airbags can deploy if the interior is disturbed. That's a thousand-dollar mistake.

3. It can take hours — with no result.

What takes a pro 3 minutes might take you all afternoon.

4. You risk breaking the key cylinder or window.

Replacement parts often cost more than a full locksmith visit.

5. Professional locksmiths are insured.

AutoUnlock technicians are licensed, insured, and available 24/7 across Colorado.
