Call (317) 800-7555A trunk lockout is its own problem. Many modern cars have no external trunk keyhole at all, the release is electronic, and if the fob is inside or the battery is flat there is nothing to press. Getting in means entering the cabin first or working the lock mechanism directly — both routine for a technician with the right tooling, and both damaging when attempted with a screwdriver.
Why Indianapolis calls us for trunk lockout
The right route in
Cabin entry then release, direct lock manipulation, or a fold-down seat path — we pick whichever is cleanest for your model.
Flat battery, no problem
When the electronic release is dead we can restore power or work the mechanism mechanically.
Hatchbacks, SUVs and vans
Liftgates, cargo barn doors and van rear doors are all handled, including work vehicles with tools locked inside.
Sort the root cause too
If the fob or key inside is your only one, we can cut and program a replacement while we are already there.
How it works
- 1Call with the year, make, model and where the vehicle is parked.
- 2We confirm the vehicle details and give an arrival window.
- 3ID and ownership are confirmed, then the technician opens the trunk.
- 4Everything is tested and, if needed, a spare key is made before we leave.
Trunk situations we handle
Some are annoying, some are urgent. All are same-day.
- Keys or fob shut inside the trunk
- Electronic release not responding with a flat battery
- Trunk lock jammed or the cylinder spinning
- Broken key snapped in the trunk lock
- Cargo van or work truck with tools locked in
- Hatchback or liftgate that will not release
Why we do not pry
Trunk lids and liftgates are thin sheet metal on a painted edge and modern liftgates carry wiring, struts and sometimes a camera in the handle. Prying leaves a permanent crease that is far harder to undo than the lockout itself. Everything we do goes through the lock or the cabin.

Trunk Lockout FAQ
My car has no trunk keyhole. Can you still open it?
Yes. We enter the cabin and use the internal release, or reach the mechanism through the seat pass-through, depending on the model.
Will there be marks on the paint?
No. We do not pry lids or edges. Entry is made through the door or the lock mechanism itself.
What do you need to know about a trunk lockout?
The year, make and model, whether the vehicle has a separate trunk cylinder, and whether the battery is dead. Call with those details and we will go over the job before dispatch.
The trunk lock is spinning freely. Is that fixable?
Yes. A spinning cylinder normally means a failed retainer or worn wafers, and we can repair or replace the lock at your location.
Do you open cargo vans and work trucks?
Regularly. Tell dispatch it is a work vehicle with tools inside and it is treated as a priority call.
