What to Do When Car Keys Are Locked Inside?
2 Answers
If your car keys are locked inside the vehicle, you can try the following methods: 1. Some cars have a button near the trunk area. As long as the distance between the car key and the trunk is within 1 meter, you can easily open it. 2. If you are not far from home, you can go back to get the spare key and then open the car door; alternatively, contact a professional locksmith company. 3. Use a thin rope to unlock the car's safety switch: Thread a thin rope through the gap of the car door, tie a retractable buckle at the front end. When the retractable buckle hooks onto the car lock's safety switch, pull it upward forcefully to open the safety switch, thereby unlocking the car door.
Last time I locked my car keys inside the car, it happened right after I bought the car in a supermarket parking lot. I left the keys on the seat and forgot to take them, then the doors automatically locked, leaving me panicked. After taking deep breaths to calm down, I tried to recall if there was a spare key. Luckily, I had given one to a friend for emergencies, so I called them and got it delivered in half an hour to save the day. If you don’t have a backup plan, I recommend calling a professional locksmith. They have specialized tools to unlock the car without damage—don’t try breaking the window yourself, as it’s easy to harm the car. For daily precautions, keep a spare key in a trusted place, like a friend’s house or your office drawer, to prevent big troubles. Also, take some time to reflect on your habits—always check for the keys in your hand before locking the car door to be more reliable.
