How an Auto Locksmith Saved the Day (And a Toddler!)
They might not carry hoses or wear badges, but sometimes auto locksmiths are the real heroes of the day.
Auto Locksmiths Help People Every Day
Firefighters run into burning buildings. Police deal with criminals. But every once in a while, the situation calls for someone else entirely—a specialist auto locksmith. While they might not wear capes, they can still be the difference between panic and relief, especially when quick, damage-free car access is essential.
A Day at the Supermarket Turns Stressful
Just last week in Barrow, a young mum was finishing her grocery run. She strapped her 15-month-old son into his car seat and began loading bags into her Audi A4. In a split second, the lights flashed—her son had managed to press the lock button on the car key fob... from inside the car.
The toddler found the button game hilarious, giggling from his seat. Meanwhile, outside, his mum was panicking. Repeated efforts to mime instructions failed. The little boy kept pressing “lock,” and eventually dropped the key where he couldn’t reach it.
From the AA to the Fire Brigade
After the AA said it would be over an hour before help could arrive, the mum turned to the fire brigade. Blue Watch from Barrow responded quickly and evaluated the situation. Since the boy wasn’t distressed, they hesitated to break the car’s windows or force entry due to the car’s high-tech security system.
Instead, they did something smarter—they called an expert automotive locksmith.
The Locksmith Who Saved the Day
The locksmith—who regularly supports the fire service—arrived and got to work. With careful use of airbags, wedges, and rods, he managed to unlock the car without a single scratch. The mother was relieved, the toddler was safe, and the car remained intact.
As if that weren’t enough, the locksmith even offered to donate some of his gear to the local fire service and train them on how to use it. Now that’s heroic.
