Last time my keys were locked in the car, calling a professional locksmith was the most reliable solution. They have specialized tools to quickly open car doors. Don't attempt DIY methods as you might damage the door lock. Develop a habit of keeping a spare key with family members or at the office. If there's a slight window gap, you could theoretically use thin wire to fish out the keys, but this is risky - it may scratch interior trim or damage seals. Especially with older vehicles, avoid reckless attempts. In hot weather, cabin temperatures rise rapidly, and locked-in keys may even cause battery issues. Remember: safety first! Professionals provide the fastest and most worry-free solution. Spending a little money solves the problem, but prevention is key!
