What to Do When Toyota Car Keys Are Locked Inside the Car?

Use the spare key. Find the original code, locate the key code, and make a copy according to the code. Contact a locksmith company, as they have solutions for various car models.

That time when I went grocery shopping, I casually tossed my keys onto the passenger seat as I got out of the car. The moment I closed the door, I heard a click and suddenly remembered my Toyota's automatic locking feature. I immediately called the nearby 4S dealership, and after explaining the situation, they dispatched a professional technician. Using an airbag tool, they carefully created a gap in the door, then used a specialized tool to hook and release the lock. The entire process took less than twenty minutes—much more convenient than breaking a window—and left no damage to the door. After getting home, I attached my spare key to my house key ring and saved the contact for a local locksmith in my phone. I’d also recommend other car owners to register their vehicle information with their regular repair shops for easier emergency contact.
