Being locked out of your car in Dubai is stressful — especially in summer heat. Here is exactly what to do to get back in your vehicle safely.
Step 1: Stay Calm and Assess the Situation
Before doing anything, assess your situation: - Are you in a safe location (not on a highway)? - Is anyone locked inside the vehicle (child, pet)? - Do you have your phone charged?
If a child or pet is locked inside the car in Dubai's heat, call Dubai Police on **999** immediately. Do not wait for a locksmith.
Step 2: Call a Professional Car Locksmith
Do not attempt to open the car yourself with makeshift tools. This can trigger your car's alarm, potentially damage your door seal or locking mechanism, and leaves you liable for any damage.
Call Car Key Service Dubai on **+971 52 817 6909**. We reach most Dubai areas in 20–30 minutes.
**What to tell us:** - Your exact location (nearest building or landmark) - Vehicle make, model, and colour - Whether your keys are visible inside
Step 3: Prove Ownership
We will ask for proof of ownership before opening any vehicle. Have ready: - Emirates ID or passport - Vehicle Mulkiya (registration card)
Both documents must match the registered owner's details.
Step 4: Wait in a Safe Location
If you are in a car park, wait near the vehicle but in a shaded or cool area if possible. In summer, do not wait in direct sun — find shade and stay hydrated.
What NOT to Do
- **Do not call any locksmith who refuses to give a price upfront.** Price-fixing scams operate in Dubai.
- **Do not try to break a window** unless a child or pet is in immediate danger.
- **Do not post your plate number on social media** asking for help — this attracts theft.
