How to Open the Car Door with a Spare Key?

[VonMargaret]

Generally, cars come with two keys: one remote key and one spare mechanical key, which is often hidden inside the remote key. Here’s how to use the spare key to open the car door: 1. After obtaining the spare key, you may notice there’s no visible mechanical keyhole on the exterior of the car. This is because manufacturers often hide the keyhole for aesthetic reasons. Look closely—there’s usually a decorative piece at the end of the door handle that’s roughly the size of the key. Pry it open to unlock the door. 2. At the end of the door handle, there’s a small rectangular hole. Pull the handle outward with your left hand while inserting the spare key into the hole to pry open the lock cover. Keep your left hand steady, then use your right hand to remove the lock cover. 3. After removing the lock cover, you’ll see the keyhole. Use the spare key to unlock the door. Note that the car alarm may sound when using the spare key, as the remote key’s security feature is triggered. 4. When reinstalling the lock cover, remember to pull the door handle outward first. Align the lock cover with the slot before inserting it, ensuring it’s tightly secured to prevent loss.
