How to Open the Car When the Keys Are Locked Inside?
2 Answers
Use the spare key to open the door. Note that you should not usually keep the spare key inside the car; otherwise, if the main key is locked inside, the spare key will also be inside. When hiring a locksmith, make sure to choose a qualified and professional company. They will present relevant credentials before unlocking, and after verification, they will proceed with the unlocking. Nowadays, most 4S stores offer after-sales rescue services. Simply call them and wait for the rescue team to arrive. There is a sealing strip between the car door window and the body. Remove the window sealing strip, use a wire to loop around the door latch through the window gap at the key position, and pull upwards to unlock.
Last month I had the experience of locking my keys in the car, it happened in a shopping mall parking lot and I was frantic. My first reaction was to take a deep breath and stay calm, then called family to bring the spare key - thankfully I had left one at a relative's place earlier. If no spare is available, you can call the 4S dealership or roadside assistance; they usually have professional tools to remotely help unlock the car, and it can be done in half an hour. I also tried getting a nearby repair shop technician to come over - affordable yet reliable. Remember not to try prying the door open yourself with clothes hangers or wires, as it may scratch the door or trigger the alarm, which is unsafe. It's advisable to develop the habit of hiding a spare key in a magnetic box under the car, or choose a car model with app-based remote unlocking so you can open the door with a tap on your phone. In short, seeking professional help is the most hassle-free option and avoids additional damage.
