Keys locked in your car in Fauquier County?

Fauquier County car lockouts, from interstate exits to show grounds

Fauquier County, VA drivers spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Commuters head for I-66 at Marshall or The Plains, or up US 29 through New Baltimore; families in Bealeton and Remington run errands on US 17 and Route 28; and on event days, the county fills with horse trailers and spectators. Keys get locked in vehicles in all of those places, and a locksmith with proper entry tools can open the door without harming the paint or seals.

Locked out near an I-66 exit

The Fauquier stretch of I-66 has exits for Delaplane, Marshall, US 17 toward Warrenton and The Plains. If you have locked your keys in the car at a fuel stop or pull-off near one of them, tell us the exit number and the business or road you are at. Stay clear of traffic and wait somewhere safe while the locksmith comes to you.

Show days at Great Meadow and Upperville

Events like the Virginia Gold Cup at Great Meadow in The Plains and the Upperville Colt & Horse Show draw big crowds and long rows of parked cars, trucks and trailers. Keys set down while unloading a horse or tacking up are easy to lock in a cab. Give the locksmith the parking area, row or a clear landmark, and a dropped pin from your phone if the signal allows.

Trucks that pull trailers

Many Fauquier pickups do double duty as tow vehicles. If the truck is locked with a trailer attached, or the keys are in a horse trailer dressing room, say so when you call. A locksmith can open most pickup doors, and sometimes a trailer door lock as well, but it helps to know what they are walking into.

Someone inside the vehicle

If a child, an animal or anyone at risk is shut inside a vehicle, call 911 immediately rather than waiting for a locksmith.
