Will the lockout damage my door or window?

No — our techs use damage-free long-reach kits and padded wedges designed for modern vehicles. We open Toyotas, Fords, Chevys, BMWs, and Mercedes without leaving marks.

Do you respond if a child or pet is locked inside?

Yes — child and pet lockouts are treated as life-safety emergencies. Call (832) 280-6473 immediately and tell the dispatcher; we'll break call order to reach you.

How long does a Houston car lockout call take?

Dispatch will give you an ETA based on your location and current traffic. Once the tech is on scene, most vehicles are open in a matter of minutes.

Do you make new keys?

No — RANIT is a roadside service, not a locksmith. We get you back inside your existing vehicle. For lost key replacement, we can refer you to a vetted local locksmith.

Do you serve suburbs like Sugar Land and Katy at night?

Yes — 24/7 lockout dispatch across Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, Missouri City, Stafford, Channelview, and the rest of the metro.

Staying safe while you wait

If you are on a freeway shoulder, get the vehicle as far right as you safely can, turn on your hazards, and stay buckled inside with the doors locked rather than standing in traffic. Texas law asks drivers to move over or slow down for stopped service vehicles, but never assume they will.

If anyone is injured, if a person or pet is locked inside a hot vehicle, or if the vehicle is in an unsafe position in live traffic, call 911 first. Emergency responders come before roadside assistance — tell our dispatcher as well so we can prioritise the call.

Damage-free lockout, every time

Modern vehicles have airbags in doors, sensitive wiring along window channels, and electronics that absolutely don't appreciate a coat hanger. Our techs use long-reach lockout kits, wedges with padded surfaces, and OEM-style probes designed for today's cars, SUVs, and light trucks. We routinely open Toyotas, Hondas, Fords, Chevys, Rams, GMs, Hyundais, Kias, BMWs, and Mercedes without leaving a scratch.

If your job involves a smart key trapped inside, we can also help coordinate with a locksmith for key replacement — but most calls just need entry, and that's all you pay for.

Common Houston lockout scenarios we handle

Gas station fueling stops where the door auto-locked. Apartment garages in the Heights, Midtown, and EaDo. School and daycare pickup lots in Sugar Land, Missouri City, and Katy. Restaurant valet lots that didn't drop the keys back. Children or pets accidentally locked inside (we prioritize these as emergencies and route the closest unit immediately). Work yards and construction sites in Channelview and east Houston. Hotel and hospital parking decks. Stranded after-hours calls on I-45, US-59, and the Beltway.

If a child or pet is inside the vehicle in summer heat, tell dispatch immediately — we treat it as a life-safety call and break call order to reach you.
