What to Do When You Can't Find Your Car Keys Inside the Car?

Methods to open the car when the keys are locked inside: 1. Use the spare key: Usually, when purchasing a car, there is a spare key included in the car's manual and common tools. To use the spare key, first locate a square or circular panel on the driver's side door handle and pry it open. After removing the lock cover, you will find the mechanical keyhole. Then, use the spare key to unlock the door. 2. Remote unlocking via smartphone: This requires installing a car key system that allows you to unlock the car remotely through your smartphone without damaging the car's system. However, there are drawbacks; if the vehicle is in an area with poor signal or interference, this system may not work.
I used to do this too, sweating bullets when I locked my keys in the car. Later, I learned some tricks: first, walk around the car to see if any windows have a gap. If there is, try using a wire to hook the door handle. If all else fails, quickly contact a professional locksmith—they have the right tools and skills. Last time, it cost me 100 yuan, and the locksmith had it open in five minutes. Now I’ve made it a habit: before getting out, I always check the dashboard to confirm the keys are in my pocket before closing the door. I also keep a spare key in my office drawer, since calling a locksmith on the road wastes too much time. Cars with keyless entry make things much easier—just press the door handle to unlock.
