Service definition

Vehicle Entry Uses Non Destructive Methods

Vehicle entry is the controlled opening of a locked car or van using a method appropriate to the vehicle rather than forcing access. This definition applies to supported vehicles across South Yorkshire.

The correct entry technique depends on the lock, vehicle construction and where the keys are located. Aaron assesses the vehicle before choosing the supported access method.

If the vehicle is locked because every usable key has been lost, the job may also require the lost car keys service after access.

AH Auto Keys applies this service definition consistently across South Yorkshire so close service states remain on their correct pages.

Service outcome

Authorised access to the vehicle

The intended outcome is to regain access using an appropriate professional method and then confirm whether any additional key service is needed.

Confirm where the key is

The job state is established before choosing an entry method.

4

Retrieve the key and test access

The vehicle is opened and the customer can retrieve the key or arrange the next service if needed.

Before Aaron travels

Have These Vehicle Details Ready

Have the make, model, year, registration and your exact South Yorkshire location ready. For security sensitive key work Aaron also needs reasonable proof that you are entitled to request work on the vehicle.

Official keeper document information is available from GOV.UK V5C guidance.

Service scope

Locked Out Of Car Situations Differ

Cabin lockout

Keys inside cabin

The key is visible or known to be inside the passenger compartment.

Boot lockout

Access depends on the vehicle and whether the boot can be reached after entry.
