Trunk Lockout Service
A locked trunk might seem like a minor inconvenience — until you're standing in a Costco parking lot off Ventura Boulevard with your groceries baking in the Los Angeles sun and your only key sitting on the other side of the trunk lid. Trunk lockouts happen to drivers all across the San Fernando Valley, from Studio City to Woodland Hills, and they rarely happen at a convenient time. Ventura Blvd Locksmith runs a fully mobile trunk lockout service, meaning our trained and insured technicians come directly to wherever you are — a parking garage, a side street, or a freeway-adjacent lot — and get you back on the road without unnecessary drama.
Open 24 hours, 7 days a week · Licensed, bonded & insured
Whether your key fob battery died at the worst possible moment, your physical key snapped in the trunk cylinder, or you accidentally locked your only set of keys inside the cargo compartment, the solution is the same: call a skilled professional rather than forcing the latch yourself and risking costly damage to your vehicle. Our technicians carry the tools and know-how to work through a wide range of trunk lock mechanisms — including traditional keyed cylinders, electronic release systems, and fold-down rear-seat access points — and they confirm an exact up-front price before touching your car. Call 818-381-0663 and a live team member will answer around the clock.

Frequently asked questions
Can I call a locksmith if I'm locked out of my house as well, or do you only do car lockouts?
Ventura Blvd Locksmith handles both vehicle and residential situations. If you are dealing with a car lockout service need and then later realize you also need help with a door knob lock that is jammed or a mortise lock that has failed, we can address both. Our technicians are trained on residential entry systems — including deadbolts, mortise locks, knob locks, and smart locks — so a home lockout service call is handled with the same mobile, damage-first-avoidance approach we use on vehicles. One call to 818-381-0663 covers all of it.
How quickly can a locksmith arrive for a trunk lockout in Los Angeles?
Arrival time depends on where you are and where our nearest available technician is at that moment. Los Angeles traffic is a real variable — a job in Woodland Hills during rush hour on the 101 is logistically different from a call in a quieter neighborhood at 2 a.m. What we can tell you is that we dispatch immediately, our technicians are mobile throughout the Valley and surrounding areas, and we give you an honest estimated arrival window when you call. We do not quote optimistic times we cannot meet. Call 818-381-0663 and the team member who answers will give you a realistic ETA based on current conditions.
Does AAA do locksmith work, and how does that compare to calling you directly?
AAA does offer roadside assistance that can include lockout help, and their coverage is tied to your membership plan and the contractors they dispatch in a given area. If you have an active AAA membership, that is a resource worth knowing about. What we offer is a direct emergency locksmith service with trained and insured technicians we employ and dispatch ourselves — no relay through a third-party network. For a trunk lockout involving a broken key, a lost key, or a cylinder that needs repair, our technicians arrive equipped to complete the full job on the spot, including key cutting and cylinder work, rather than simply popping a door. For any situation where you want immediate, direct service, call 818-381-0663.
How much does an emergency locksmith cost near me in Los Angeles?
The cost of an emergency locksmith in the Los Angeles area is shaped by a handful of real factors rather than a single posted rate. For a trunk lockout specifically, the variables include your vehicle type and the trunk locking mechanism involved, whether a key needs to be cut or a cylinder needs to be replaced, the time of day you are calling, and the travel distance from our technician to your location. Evening, overnight, and holiday calls reflect the logistics of around-the-clock availability. We never present a vague estimate and then revise it upward after the work is done — our technician confirms an exact price before starting, and that is what you pay.
How do I avoid a trunk lockout from happening again?
The most practical step is keeping a spare key in a location that is never the trunk itself — a key hook at home, a trusted contact's possession, or a magnetic key box mounted out of sight under the vehicle frame. For modern vehicles with a key fob, keeping a fresh battery on hand and knowing where your physical backup key is stored can prevent the most common electronic-release failures. If your trunk cylinder is already stiff, worn, or difficult to turn, that is worth addressing before it fails completely — our technicians can inspect and service the cylinder during any visit. Replacing a worn door knob lock or trunk cylinder proactively costs far less in time and stress than an emergency call on a hot afternoon.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency locksmith services for trunk lockouts specifically, or only during business hours?
Our trunk lockout service runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year including weekends and holidays. Trunk lockouts do not follow a schedule, and neither do we. Whether you are dealing with a locked trunk at midnight after a late shift or early on a Sunday morning before a road trip, our emergency locksmith dispatch is active and a real team member will answer when you call 818-381-0663. There is no answering service or voicemail during off-hours — we answer and dispatch.
