I locked my keys in my car, no spare or anything, I need to get this out of the parking lot asap, anyone have any ideas, I know this has happend to the best of us

 

I personally know of three ways to get in that dont require the breaking of glass.
The first way will require you to force your window down. If you can get your window down about 6 inches then you will be able to slide your arm in and unlock the door.

The second is only possible if you have T Tops. The handle of the roof panel can be pushed open with a screw driver, thus unlocking the roof for removal.

The last way is the only one that will ensure that nothing gets damaged. What you will need is a blank key and a small file that needs to be trangular. Take the blank and put it in your door and turn it back and forth. This will cause the tumblers to scratch your key. Take the file and start to file a little at a time on the scratches. Only do this on each scratch for a few seconds. Put the key back in and repeat the entire procedure. Pay attention because at some point some of the tumblers will stop scuffing the key. Only file where you see new scratches.

Or you could spend the money and have a locksmith come out and open the car for you. I dont know what they charge in your area, but I have not paid more than $50 here in Raleigh NC.

 

Try a tow truck. They can get into virtually anything and charge a lot less than a locksmith.

 

The easiest way is if you have power locks. You'll need a reasonable length of stiff wire (like a cat hanger.), straighten it out and make a lil L on the end. Slide it between the glass and work it down and hit the PDL button. You might need to introduce some extra curves/bends in order to hit it.

I have either used a Slim Jim(can get from Pep Boys or a speed shop)

Or

Use a coat hanger...

Both work...

 

thanks guys, I got in it.

 

how'd ya get in?

If Pep Boys or Otterzone don't have a slim jim (they don't here) I've found them at paint / body supply shoppes.

 

Get a long stick and then pull back your window about an inch or two then hit the rear hatch release button if you have one. It works a lot better than tring to pop your t tops or pulling the door handle with a coat hanger.

just an FYI, all of those ways seem harder than what i figured out

just get a flat peice of metal like a regular aluminum ruler..
slide it down inbetween the glass and the weather stripping about an inch forward (or rearward? cant remember) of the keyhole.. you have to find the sweet spot youll feel it hit something, this is a rod from the key cyl arm to the locking mechanism, you just have to give this a good shove downwwards and presto the door is unlocked

the downside is that it unclips the little plastic rod holder from the rod to the cyl so youll have to take off the door panel to clip it back on if you want that lock to work again but thats a half hour job

 

get a very long,thin screw driver. lock a vise grip to the end pull the window back enough to get it in and push the lock slider to unlock it with the round adjustable part of the visegrip. 15 seconds easy.

BREAK THE GLASS!!

 

Did any of you read that he got into it?
Seems like nobody ever reads anything more than the first post. lol
When I locked my keys in the car I fished them out with a coat hanger, they were in the front seat.
I like the idea about the rear hatch, that is what I would have done. All those "easy" ways to break in are the reasons why I'm moving my buttons and having the door handles and locks shaved. The locks are aleady gone (last time car was broken into) and the car needs a paint job...

I know he's in but I'm bored. You could put chocolate all over the door and eat your way through.
