Locked out? Do this first

A few minutes now can save you time and money.

Stay safe

Wait in a safe, well-lit place. If a child or pet is locked inside on a hot day, call 999 or 112 first.

Check for a spare

Is there a spare key at home or with someone nearby? Check every door and the boot too.

Don't force it

Breaking a window or forcing the lock costs far more than opening the car properly.

Call us

Call 0727 262605 or WhatsApp your location with the make and model of the car.

Lockouts we help with

Whatever kept you out of your car, we can usually get you back in and on the road.

Keys locked inside

Keys left in the ignition, on the seat or in the boot? We open the car without damage.

Car locked itself

Some cars lock with the smart key inside. We open them safely.

Dead key or car battery

A flat key battery or car battery can stop the doors from opening. We get you in and find the cause.

Jammed or broken lock

A lock that will not turn, or a key snapped in the door: we open it and fix or replace the key.

Lost the key too?

If the key is gone, we make and program a new key where the car is and delete the lost one.

Proof of ownership

Before opening, we check that the car is yours with your ID and the car's logbook.

How we get you back in

Call us and we take it from there.

Tell us where you are

Call or WhatsApp your location, the make and model, and where the key is.

Get your price

We confirm the price and how long until we reach you.

Ownership check

Our technician checks your ID and the car's logbook.

Damage-free opening

We open the car with specialist tools, with no broken glass or forced locks.

Car makes and models we program

We program keys for most cars on Kenyan roads, both Japanese-market imports and UK and European models. Not sure about yours? Send us the make, model and year.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if I am locked out of my car in Nairobi?

Stay somewhere safe, check for a spare key, and don't force the door or break a window. Call Carkey Masters on 0727 262605 or WhatsApp your location, and our technician will come and open the car without damage.

Can you open my car without damaging it?

Yes. We use specialist car opening tools, so there is no broken glass and no forced locks.

Do you come to me?

Yes. We come to your home, office or wherever the car is in Nairobi. Tell us your location and we will confirm the price and how long until we arrive.

Can I call you at night or on a Sunday?

Yes. For emergencies, call 0727 262605, day or night.

What do I need to show?

Your ID and the car's logbook, so we know the car is yours before we open it.

What if my key is lost, not locked inside?

Then you need a new key. We can make and program one where the car is and delete the lost key so it can no longer start the car. Read what to do when you lose your car key.
