What to Do When Keys Are Locked Inside the Car?
2 Answers
Methods to deal with keys locked inside the car: 1. Find the spare key; 2. Contact a locksmith to open the car lock. Before unlocking, the owner needs to provide relevant documents such as the vehicle registration certificate and ID card for verification; 3. Call the 4S store's after-sales rescue hotline; 4. Break the car window glass, preferably choosing the side windows. When using the car, always keep the spare key in a safe place outside the vehicle; remember to take the keys when leaving the car; when purchasing car insurance, understand the relevant theft compensation details to ensure evidence for claims in case of vehicle theft after key loss.
I've encountered this situation twice. Remember not to force the door open as it may damage the paint. The first thing to do is check if there's a spare key at a nearby relative or friend's place. Nowadays, some cars can even be unlocked remotely via mobile apps. If all else fails, call a professional locksmith, but remember to report to 110 and choose a licensed company. Last time I forgot my keys, I hid a spare behind the steering wheel cover - a plastic key card takes up no space and prevents this issue. Remember, smashing the window is the last resort. Replacing a front door window costs around 500-600 RMB, not to mention glass shards could damage the interior.
