How to Open the Car Door When the Key is Locked Inside?
2 Answers
Generally, after the car door is closed, there is a sealing strip between the door window and the car body. You can remove the window sealing strip, then use a wire or thin string to lower it down along the gap of the window at the position of the door key. Once it hooks onto the door latch, pull it upwards to open the door. Here is some information about car keys: 1. Nowadays, cars usually come with two keys, one for regular use and the other as a spare. When the regular key is lost, the spare key can be used to open the car door. 2. Always remember, never leave the spare key inside the car. Keep it in a safe place at home. Otherwise, if the regular key is lost and the spare key is still inside the car, you will have to call a professional locksmith to unlock it.
Last time I also locked my keys in the car and was running around in a panic. Looking back, the best approach is to first calm down and check: search pockets or bags thoroughly for any overlooked keys, or try to recall where the spare key might be hidden? For instance, there's always one tucked behind the mailbox at my place. If that doesn't work, immediately search online for a local professional locksmith service—they arrive with tools and can resolve it in minutes without damage. That time, it took me just 20 minutes to get help; they used a hook to carefully unlock the door without scratching it. I learned my lesson afterward—now I keep my daily keys on a lanyard clipped to my belt and taught my family to regularly verify spare key locations. Though it seems minor, it's a safety matter. Don't force clumsy solutions that risk damaging the car and creating bigger headaches.
