How to Open the Car Door When the Key Fob is Locked Inside?

[Jess]

When the car's weather stripping is not tightly sealed, you can use a long piece of wire to reach through the gap and hook the locking mechanism to unlock the door. If you don't have a wire but the window is manually operated, place both hands firmly on the glass, press down with full contact, and pull downward forcefully to lower the window. Retrieve the key. However, this method is ineffective for power windows. If none of the above conditions apply, you may need to break the window directly. You can use the car's spare key to open the door and retrieve the key. If the car has keyless entry, simply being in the detection zone will allow you to open the door.
