Car lockouts I open in Tenerife — and what I don't.
Honest about scope before you text. Saves both of us a wasted trip.
I unlock
- ✓Most passenger cars, SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks
- ✓Keys locked inside the cabin — most common scenario
- ✓Trunk lockouts (when interior release is accessible from the cabin)
- ✓Push-to-start fobs with battery dead — I can get the door open so you can swap the fob battery
- ✓Combination lockout + key generation if you've lost the keys (booked together)
I don't
- ✗Trunks without an interior release — separate specialty job, text me first
- ✗Emergency rescues with kids or pets locked inside — call 112, the fire brigade is faster and free
- ✗Locks I think are damaged or rigged — I won't proceed if I suspect tampering
- ✗Force a modern door with slim-jims or coat-hangers — that's how windows crack and door wiring gets damaged; I use lockout tools matched to your vehicle instead
- ✗House or business doors — I'm automotive-only; a residential locksmith is the right call for those.
No damage to your car
Proper auto-locksmith tools open a standard car door cleanly — no broken windows, no pried door frames, no scratched paint.
How a lockout call works.
At Otypro in Tenerife, I get you back into your locked car on-site — a non-destructive car lockout is from €56.
Four steps, start to finish. Most of it before I leave the driveway.
You text the details
Year / make / model + the parking lot or address. Mention if you have a pet or kid inside (in which case: call 112 first). 20-second message.
I send you the price and estimated arrival time.
Just from €56.
I arrive + verify ID
Government photo ID before I touch the door. If your ID is locked inside, I verify another way (photo of a separate ID on your phone + recited ownership info). This is an insurance and trade-standard requirement, not me being difficult.
Non-destructive entry, then payment
Proper auto-locksmith tools, matched to your vehicle — clean, non-destructive entry. 5–10 minutes on most vehicles. The door opens, you grab your keys, then you pay me right there: Bizum, card, or cash.
No damage, no broken windows
Why non-destructive entry matters.
Forced entry turns a from €56 lockout into a €186+ repair — and the test before you book
A locksmith who forces the job — a slim-jim or coat-hanger on a modern door, or a wedge cranked too hard — can crack the window, bend the door frame, or damage the door's wiring, turning a from €56 lockout into a €186+ repair. Proper modern auto-locksmith tools open almost every car cleanly, with nothing left to fix afterward.
Test before you book: ask for an estimated price before the technician heads out, and find out exactly how they plan to unlock your specific car. An honest answer should include a damage-free unlocking method and an upfront price estimate. Anyone who avoids explaining their method or refuses to give you even an approximate price could end up costing you much more than expected.
Where I come to you.
Anywhere in Puerto de la Cruz at no travel charge — the from €56. Driveway, shopping-centre car park, work garage, a lay-by on the motorway — send the location and I head to you. Wondering how that compares to a tow truck, your insurer’s roadside assistance, or the ads promising less? The honest side-by-side is in how much it costs to unlock a car in Tenerife.
Outside Puerto de la Cruz, travel is €0.50/km for the extra distance — always written into the quote before I leave, never a surprise on arrival. I cover the whole of Tenerife: Adeje, Los Cristianos, Puerto de la Cruz, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and everything in between. Lockouts out of town are a normal part of my week, and same-day is realistic for most calls if you text early — I’ll give you an honest window, not a guess. Full travel detail is on the pricing page.
Common Tenerife lockout scenarios.
The five situations I see most often, and the right call for each.
Remote-start engine running, doors auto-locked.
Tenerife beach day: you left the car running for the air-con, stepped out, closed the door — and the auto-lock had already cycled. Doors locked, engine on, keys in the cabin. Routine job. from €56.
Push-to-start fob battery died, can't get in.
Most newer cars have a hidden mechanical key inside the fob — pull it out, use the door cylinder. If you can’t find it, I’ll unlock the door for you from €56.
Keys in the trunk with the groceries.
Vehicles with an interior trunk release: I open the cabin and pop the trunk from inside. Same from €56. Trunks without an interior release: separate procedure — text me your year/make/model to confirm scope.
Keys lost entirely (not in the car).
Two jobs in one visit: lockout (from €56) to get into the cabin, then lost-all-keys from €200. Total time roughly 2–3 hours.
Child or pet locked inside.
Don't text me — call 112. the fire brigade responds faster than any locksmith, is trained for exactly this, and is free. They'll get the door open safely. Then text me afterwards if you need a new key cut.
Don't call a tow truck for a lockout
Tow operators aren't trained for this.
Damage caused by opening a car with a metal rod can cost €300 or more, and vehicle breakdown insurance may not cover roadside assistance costs.
A common Tenerife mistake: calling a tow service when you’re locked out. Some tow operators use a “slim jim” or wedge — sometimes successfully, often not. Many newer vehicles (2010+) have side-curtain airbag wiring inside the door cavity and electronic window regulators that a slim jim can damage. Repairing any of this damage costs from €300.
A trained auto-locksmith uses tools matched to your specific vehicle's lock and door architecture. Same outcome (you're back in), without the collateral damage risk.
Roadside assistance exception: if your car insurance includes roadside assistance (asistencia en carretera), a lockout is often covered — call them first. If it isn't covered, or they can't reach you within an hour, that's when you text me.
Lockout FAQ.
Prices and times checked September 2026
The questions I get most often when someone texts from a parking lot.
How much does a car lockout cost in Tenerife?
At Otypro in Tenerife, a car lockout is from €56 when your key is locked inside and I open the door. If you’ve lost every key, that’s a separate all-keys-lost job (from €200). A lockout is one piece of what a mobile auto locksmith in Tenerife handles.
How fast can you get to me if I'm locked out?
Text me and you'll hear back within 10–15 minutes, so you'll know right away that help is coming. For arrival, I'll send a real ETA in the quote based on where you are and where I am — not a fake "30 minutes" promise. Between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. I still come out — with the flat €50 night callout fee — or, if it can hold until 7 a.m., at the regular price with no night fee.
Will you damage my car or door?
No. I use proper auto-locksmith tools — wedges, long-reach probes, lockout tools designed for modern vehicles — to open the door without damage: no broken windows, no pried door frames, no scratched paint. The damage to watch for comes from amateur shortcuts like slim-jims or coat-hangers on modern cars, which can crack a window or harm the door's wiring. If someone can't tell you how they'll open your specific car, or the price jumps on arrival, that's the red flag.
I locked my keys in my car — what should I do first?
Don't try to force the door yourself — a coat-hanger or slim-jim on a modern car can crack the window or damage the door wiring. Text me your year/make/model and where you're parked and I'll send a firm from €56 quote and come open it without damage.
Is there a mobile car lockout service that comes to me in Tenerife?
Yes — I come to you anywhere on Tenerife: a driveway, a car park, or a lay-by on the motorway. Text your location and I'll send a real ETA, not a guess.
Can I get my keys out of a locked car myself?
It's possible with the right tools on some vehicles, but on modern cars the wrong angle can crack a window or damage door wiring — a repair that runs well past the from €56 lockout fee. If you don't already have the tools, texting me is the cheaper, safer route.
What ID do I need for a lockout?
Government photo ID before I open the door — DNI/NIE, driver's licence, or any other official photo ID. If the ID is locked inside, I verify another way (photo of a separate ID on your phone, recited ownership info). It's an insurance and ethics requirement, not me being difficult.
What if my keys are stuck in the ignition?
Still a lockout — the door part is the same. Once I open the door, you'll be able to retrieve the key. If the key is broken off in the ignition, that's a separate retrieval-and-extraction job; text me the make/model and I'll quote separately. The from €56 lockout still applies for getting into the cabin first.
Do you do trunk-only lockouts?
Yes for most vehicles — usually I go through the cabin and pop the trunk from inside. Some trunks (without an interior release) need a separate procedure; text me the year/make/model. Same from €56 in most cases.
What if I lost my keys entirely and they're not in the car?
That's two jobs: lockout first (from €56) to get into the cabin, then key generation to make a new working key. I can quote them together up front and do both in the same visit — typically 2 to 3 hours total. See the Lost All Keys page for the key-side detail.
What if there's a pet or child locked inside?
This is an emergency — call 112 first. the fire brigade is the right call for any locked-in-vehicle child or pet situation, especially in hot or cold conditions. They're faster, free, and trained for exactly this scenario. I'm a key-and-lock specialist, not an emergency responder.
