Keys locked in your car in Frederick County?

Where drivers get locked out in Frederick County

Frederick County, VA sits on one of the busiest truck routes in the eastern United States, and many of the car lockouts here happen to people who are just passing through. Others happen to locals at the college, at a job site in an industrial park or on a family trip to an orchard. Wherever it happens, a locksmith with proper tools can open the door without damage.

Truck stops and fuel plazas on I-81

The truck stops near Exit 307 at Stephens City and Exit 323 north of Clear Brook see a steady stream of travelers stopping for fuel, food and rest. If you have shut your keys in the car there, tell us the exit, the business name and where in the lot you are parked. For drivers far from home, it is also worth asking about a replacement key if the spare is back in another state.

Commercial trucks and work vans

Some locksmiths can open truck cabs, box trucks and delivery vans as well as passenger cars. If you drive a commercial vehicle out of one of the county's distribution centers, give the make and model when you call so you are connected with someone who has the right tools.

College lots and orchard weekends

Students and staff at Laurel Ridge Community College in Middletown, and families picking apples at farms around the county in the fall, all leave cars in big lots or grassy fields where keys get locked in. Give a clear landmark such as a building, a row or a farm sign, and share a map pin if your phone has signal. On a crowded fall Saturday, a description of the car helps too.

A person or pet trapped inside

If a child, a pet or anyone vulnerable is locked in the car, call 911 right away. Do not wait for a locksmith.
