What to Do When the Car Key is Inserted Backwards and Can't Be Pulled Out?
1 Answers
Pour cooking oil or engine oil into the keyhole, then gently and slowly pull it out. If pouring oil doesn't work, find a hard object to tap slowly inside the lock, then pull it out gradually. If both methods above fail, you can only call a locksmith and seek professional help to unlock it. For keys with similar top and bottom holes, you can mark one side of the key to prevent the key from being inserted backwards and getting stuck in the keyhole.
