How are car doors locked?

There are two systems responsible for the car safety – the central lock and alarm system. The serviceability of these systems affects the protection of the car from break-in and theft. That is the reason why the central lock and alarm system lock the doors and the trunk.
The central lock is a system that simultaneously locks and unlocks the doors. This is a whole set of units and components of the locking system, which works even with the ignition off. The principle of its operation is simple:
  • when turning the key in the door lock, the microswitch responsible for locking is actuated;
  • the signal is transmitted to the control unit;
  • the central unit transmits signals to other devices;
  • the microswitches simultaneously lock all the doors and the trunk. In the present-day cars, the fuel tank cap and window lifters are connected to the central locking system too. When the door lock is triggered, the system raises the windows and then locks the doors;
  • car lock unlocking is performed in the reverse order: when the key is turned, the signal is transmitted and all the doors get opened.
The algorithm of operation of up-to-date locks differs by the presence of a microchip button on the key, thus there is no need to turn the key. You will need car lockout assistance 24/7 if the button has accidentally got activated and the keys are left inside.

Why is the car locked?

The car can be locked even if you have not pressed any buttons. This happens for the following four reasons:
1. Failure in the electronics of the central lock or alarm system – the system may just “screw up”, short out or get rebooted due to technical problems. This can happen when water or debris gets on the electronic components, or they are mechanically damaged. As a result, the car is locked automatically, and you cannot get into the car without a key.
2. The alarm control unit has locked all the car doors. This happens due to activation of programmed protocols, but not due to the system errors. For example, you left the keys in the car, took the handbrake off and accidentally pushed the car – the alarm set against a theft in a traffic jam or in the parking lot will block the car. Another case is the battery recharge. When you remove the terminals, the system takes it for an attempt of a car theft and blocks the doors.
3. Accidental pressing of the central lock activation button – for example, you took the keys out of the lock, turned the key to shut off the engine, and accidentally pressed the activation button. The central control unit received a signal, and when you got out of the car and closed the door, the central lock got actuated. In this case, you can get assistance only from the car lockout service near you.
4. Forgotten keys in the trunk. Next to the central lock activation button there is a button for opening the trunk. When pressing this button, the car remains closed, only the trunk gets opened. If you forget the keys inside trunk and close it, the system will automatically lock it.

What to do if the car is blocked

Attempts to open the car on your own can only make matters worse: a broken door lock or broken side glass will create additional problems. It is better to call out professional car lockout assistance 24/7 in Sacramento. Our specialists will quickly regain control over the car.

At the same time, unlocking will not damage the components of the anti-theft system, and it will work as before. If it is not possible to restore the lock, the car lockout service will install and program a new lock.

How to prevent car lock blocking​

The car lockout service near you 24/7 has collected the basic tips to help you to avoid car blocking:
  • never leave your keys inside the car. The case “just for a minute” is not an exception – always take your key with you;
  • make duplicate keys and keep them in a safe place. A duplicate of a regular or chipped key will allow you to independently settle the situation when the main key remains in the car or has been lost;
  • never store duplicate keys in the saloon or trunk of the car;
  • disable the automatic door lock function;
  • if you do not want to take the key out of the ignition lock – leave the door or window open so that you would not have to break into the car later. This also refers to the situation when you warm up your car;
  • keep the car key separately from the alarm fob and remote control device. In this case you can open the car, even if you have forgotten your keys;
  • play it safe – enter the car lockout service number into your phone before the car is blocked.
If these tips did not help, and you still forgot or lost your key – contact our service for professional help! We will arrange a prompt arrival of our specialists to the place where they will fix the problem and regain control over the car for you.
