Car and Rental Car Lockouts Near BWI

Keys left on a seat, shut in the trunk or packed in a checked bag? We open sedans, SUVs, minivans and pickups from domestic and Asian makers with car-opening tools, so the door and paint stay as they were.


Rental cars

Yes, we open rental cars and make new keys for them wherever the car sits. Have your ID and the rental agreement ready. The airport's rental car facility sits on the Hanover side, and many of these calls come from its lots or from hotels close by.


Hotel lots and park-and-ride

Lots of travelers leave the car at an airport hotel or a Light Rail park-and-ride, such as North Linthicum, and ride in. Come back to a locked car there? Give us the hotel's name or the lot, and we come straight to that spot. See Car Lockouts →

Every Key Gone? A New One, Cut Beside Your Car

Your only key vanished somewhere between the gate and the parking lot? We read the car's key code, cut a fresh blade, then teach the car to accept the new chip or remote before you leave the lot, on most domestic and Asian makes. No tow, no trip to a dealer. Bring a photo ID and something that shows the car is yours. See All Car Keys Lost →


Push-to-start fob gone or dead

A smart key that slipped out of a pocket on the flight, or one the car suddenly can't sense? Try a fresh coin battery first. If the car still won't see it, we program a new push-to-start fob at the car for most models. See Push-to-Start Keys →


The airport and its neighbors

BWI Marshall sits in Anne Arundel County, with Linthicum and Hanover beside its runways and Elkridge just across the Howard County line. The BWI Trail loops about 12.5 miles around the airport and passes an aircraft observation area where families watch planes come in. If a key goes missing on a walk or ride there, call us and we head to that parking area. Authority Locksmith Inc is an independent local locksmith, not part of the airport.

Quick Answers for BWI Drivers

  1. Do airport rules limit where you can work? Some airport areas have their own rules and staff, and we follow them. If work isn't allowed where your car sits, we'll talk it through on the phone before we come out.
  2. What do I need to show you at the car? A photo ID and something that proves the car is yours, like the registration, title or insurance card. If those papers are locked inside, we check them as soon as the door is open.
  3. I lost my only car key. Can you make one at the lot near BWI? Yes, on most domestic and Asian makes. The blade gets cut by your car's key code, then we program the key or fob right there in the lot, so no tow is needed. What it takes depends on year and trim.
  4. Our push-to-start fob quit in a hotel garage. Can you help there? Yes. If a new battery doesn't bring it back, we program a replacement fob at the car, for most models.
  5. Our bags and keys are shut in the trunk. Can you reach them? On most cars, yes. Once a door is open, we get into the trunk through its inside release or by lowering a back seat.
  6. My battery is dead or a tire is flat in an airport lot. Can you help? Batteries and tires aren't our work; we handle locks and keys. The airport's parking page lists a help number for drivers who come back to car trouble in its lots: BWI parking info (the airport's own site).
