Locked out of your car in Shenandoah County?
At an I-81 exit near Mount Jackson, in the lot at Bryce Resort after a day on the slopes, or outside an antique shop in Strasburg — we'll connect you with a locksmith who comes to the car.
Where drivers get stuck in Shenandoah County
A lot of the people locked out of cars in Shenandoah County, VA are passing through — on Interstate 81, on a ski weekend at Bryce, on a day of antique shopping or a visit to the New Market battlefield. Others are locals whose truck door simply froze overnight. Either way, a locksmith with proper vehicle-entry tools can open the door without damaging the paint, the seals or the wiring inside.
Off the interstate
If you've stopped at a gas station or restaurant off I-81, tell us the exit and whether you were heading north or south. The county's exits are spread from Strasburg to New Market, and knowing which one saves the locksmith time finding you. If you're on the shoulder of the interstate itself, stay safely away from traffic and consider calling for roadside help as well. Long-haul drivers and travelers towing trailers sometimes lock the keys in while fueling; mention what you're driving so the locksmith brings the right tools.
After a day at Bryce Resort
Ski gloves, helmets and bags make it easy to toss a key fob into the trunk while loading gear. In the resort parking area, tell us which lot and roughly where you're parked. If it's cold and getting dark, wait somewhere warm — the lodge or your companions' car — rather than standing next to the locked vehicle.
When the lock is frozen, not locked
Sometimes the key is in your hand but the door won't open because ice has formed in the lock or around the seals. Try a lock de-icer, or warm the key and work it gently. Don't pour hot water over the door; it refreezes and can crack a cold window. If the key won't turn, stop before it snaps off — a locksmith can open the car and deal with the frozen lock.
A child or pet inside
If a child, a pet or anyone who can't get out on their own is locked in the vehicle, call 911 immediately. Don't wait for a locksmith, especially on a hot summer afternoon or a freezing winter night.
