What trunk lockout service actually involves in Delray Beach

A trunk lockout in Delray Beach usually happens one of three ways: (1) keys locked inside the trunk (Whole Foods bagger forgot), (2) battery died while the trunk was closed (modern hatchback liftgates can't release without 12V), (3) trunk release mechanism failed mechanically.

Premier handles all three. For case 1, we open the cabin door first, use the rear seat fold-down to access the trunk (works on most sedans), or use the trunk's mechanical override lever (most SUVs). For case 2, we jump the 12V circuit and then open the liftgate. For case 3, we manually release the latch mechanism from underneath.

Total typical visit: 20 to 40 minutes, plus the time to get to your location. We do NOT drill the trunk cylinder unless absolutely necessary - 99% of trunk lockouts can be solved without any cylinder damage.
