What to Do When the Civic Car Key is Locked Inside the Car?

Another key is no longer available. You can call the local 4S store and ask them to send a technician to open it, or you can have a locksmith from a regular locksmith shop open it. Documents required: Proof that can verify the vehicle's attributes: the vehicle registration certificate. If the vehicle registration certificate is also locked in the car, you can prove it to the locksmith company after unlocking.

Once when I came back from grocery shopping, I realized I had left my Civic key on the driver's seat—what a blow. I immediately checked the mechanical lock cylinder inside the passenger door handle, as some car models allow you to unscrew a small cover with a coin. When I spotted the car key glinting under the windshield, I had a quick idea to use a bicycle spoke to hook through the window gap, but the frameless door's seal was too tight. In the end, I sought help from a certified locksmith recommended by the property management, who fixed it in two minutes and even taught me to stick a gentle reminder on the dashboard with clear tape. Now, I keep my car key on a spring steel cable and have a spare key hidden in the phone case's inner layer.
