Car Lockout in Toronto
When the door shuts on the keys in Toronto, call iGuard. We plan the safest way in based on the vehicle, then do the job.
Downtown lockouts and how to avoid them
Downtown lockouts happen in garages, at meters and at the curb: a key left in a coat, a door closed during a quick drop-off. After we open the car we suggest a habit or two, such as keeping the key on a lanyard or hooking it to a bag. In multi-level garages, note the level and pillar so the technician finds you quickly. We verify ownership before we open.
About car lockouts in Toronto
Lockouts we attend in Toronto happen at Eaton Centre parkades, street parking downtown and Union Station lots. Long stays at Eaton Centre parkades and street parking downtown explain most lockouts, and cold weather adds calls in winter.
Lockout situations
- Opening a vehicle with the keys in the trunk
- Ownership checks before any car is opened
- Getting you back into a car when the keys are inside

- How long will it take to reach Toronto? We give a window on the phone based on where the nearest technician is and traffic on the Gardiner Expressway.
