How to Open the Trunk When the Buick Key Is Locked Inside?

Most vehicles come with a spare key. If you have a spare key, you can use it to unlock the car door. Alternatively, you can call 114 to get the contact information of a locksmith company (114 provides locksmith companies registered with the public security department). Here are some relevant tips: 1. Most modern cars have a passage between the trunk and the front seats. You can open the car door, enter the back seat, fold down the rear seat, and then retrieve the car key to solve the problem. 2. If the rear seat cannot be folded down and you cannot enter the trunk, there is usually a gap between the rear seat and the trunk. You can use a long, slender object to fish out the key through this gap.
I'm the type who often locks my keys in the trunk, especially when driving a Buick. Once while helping a friend move stuff, I casually tossed the keys into the trunk and only realized after closing the lid. My advice: Don't panic first—check if all doors are locked; sometimes the passenger door might still be open, allowing easy access. If that fails, see if you have a spare key handy. If not, call the dealership or roadside assistance—they have professional tools to open the trunk without damaging the paint. Never try prying it open with wire yourself, as it may scratch the body or trigger the alarm. Some Buick models have an emergency release pull tab inside the trunk corner—check the manual for its location. Safety first: Always remember to put keys in your pocket before exiting or keep a spare at home. These small mishaps happen often, but developing good habits saves hassle.
I know some car features, like Buick vehicles may support the OnStar system, allowing you to remotely unlock the trunk via a mobile app. If that doesn't work, calling professional services is the way to go to avoid risky operations. As a car owner, I would first check the door status; if everything is locked, contacting rescue services is the safest option. They use specialized hooks to gently open it without damaging the seals. Another method: some Buick models allow the rear seats to be folded down, enabling you to climb into the trunk from inside the car to retrieve the keys, but safety comes first—only use this in emergencies. Familiarize yourself with your car's design in advance, knowing where the trunk release hook is located can prevent future issues.
