Trunk Unlock Done Right the First Time
Tossing your keys into the trunk with the shopping bags and closing the lid is one of the most common lockouts we see, especially at the shopping centers and marinas around Alameda. Many modern cars will not release the trunk from inside once it is locked, and the fob is now sealed away. Alameda Locksmiths opens trunks, hatches and cargo areas quickly and without damage.
Our technicians gain entry through the cabin and use the interior release or fold the rear seats, work the trunk lock cylinder directly, or use manufacturer procedures for cars with valet locks and separate trunk keys. Nothing is forced and no trim is broken. Many customers combine this with our Car Key Replacement service and our Transponder Key Programming service.
If the trunk lock itself has failed or the key was lost inside, we can rekey or replace the trunk cylinder and cut new keys on the spot.
