Restoring Access to the Locked Vehicle

Our technician arrived with professional automotive entry equipment and inspected the vehicle before selecting an appropriate opening method.

For this job, we used protective inflatable wedges and a professional reach tool to release the interior lock. The work focused on regaining access while protecting the door, frame, and surrounding trim.

The photos show the white vehicle during the service, with protective entry equipment in place, followed by the driver’s door open after access was restored.

Checking the Door After Opening

Once the vehicle was unlocked, we removed the equipment and checked the door alignment and weather stripping. We confirmed that the door opened and closed properly before completing the service.

The customer could retrieve his existing keys and use the vehicle again. No replacement lock or key was needed.

I was stranded at a train station in Trenton because my car’s ignition wouldn’t turn. I called 4–5 locksmiths, but none of them could fix it. American Star Locksmith arrived in about an hour, replaced the ignition, and got my car running again. Excellent service, highly recommend!
