What to Do When the Car Keys Are Locked Inside the Car Automatically?
2 Answers
Use the spare key to open the car door. This method neither damages the car nor requires additional expenses, and it effectively solves the problem. If the spare key is not available, you can seek help from a professional and qualified locksmith to open the car door.
Last month I also had my keys locked in the car and felt a bit panicked at first. Immediately remembered the spare key was in the home drawer, called my wife to bring it over to solve the issue. If no spare is available, call your insurance company's roadside assistance number, they'll professionally unlock it for free. Many modern cars support mobile apps like OnStar for remote unlocking with just one press—try this first without panicking. If the app doesn't work, patiently wait for assistance and avoid prying the car open to prevent paint damage. Develop a habit of always carrying keys on a belt clip or hiding a spare in a magnetic box under the car. Regularly check and disable automatic locking settings to prevent accidental lockouts. Safety first—don't rush, there's always a solution.
