How to Open the Door When the Camry Key is Locked Inside the Car?
2 Answers
Here are the solutions for when the Camry key is locked inside the car: 1. If the main key is accidentally locked inside the car, try to retrieve the spare key and use it to open the door. 2. Some cars have a button near the trunk area. As long as the car key is within 1 meter of the trunk, you can easily open it. 3. Use a thin string to unlock the car door's safety switch: Thread a thin string through the gap of the car door, with a retractable buckle tied at the front. When the buckle hooks onto the safety switch of the car lock, pull it upward forcefully to unlock the safety switch, thereby opening the car door.
The other day when I accidentally locked my keys inside my Camry, I quickly thought of trying the spare key method. The Camry's door lock system contains sophisticated electronic components, and forcibly prying the door open could damage the wiring or trigger the alarm. It's best to first check if there's a spare key stored with a trusted friend or family member, or hidden somewhere at home. If the vehicle supports remote unlocking features, such as through the Toyota app, try logging in to control it. If all else fails, immediately contact a professional locksmith or the dealership—they can open the car without causing damage and prevent any mishandling. As a habit, I recommend always checking your pockets to confirm you have the keys before exiting the car, as this can significantly reduce such accidents.
