Why Can Car Keys Get Locked Inside the Vehicle?
2 Answers
Here are the reasons why car keys can get locked inside the vehicle: 1. Forgetting to remove the key: Forgetting to take out the key, and the car's anti-theft system is not connected to the door trigger wire, causing the car to automatically lock after 30 seconds of closing the door. 2. No remote control device installed: Pressing the door lock directly when getting out of the car, then pulling the handle and closing the door. Below are extended solutions for when car keys are locked inside: 1. Spare key: If the car is accidentally locked, you can use the spare key to unlock it. 2. Call a locksmith: Locksmiths require documentation; if the documentation is incomplete, the locksmith may refuse service. 3. Break the window: This method will incur the cost of installing a new window.
I remember last time after camping when loading the gear, the car keys got mysteriously locked inside the car. Actually, many situations can lead to this awkward scenario. The most common one is placing the keys casually on the seat or center console after getting out and not noticing when the doors automatically lock upon closing. Many new cars now come with keyless entry systems, but sometimes when the key fob's battery is low and the signal weak, the system fails to detect the key inside and still locks the car. A special reminder for families with kids: it's quite common for children to accidentally press the central locking button while inside the car. Some people are used to manually locking the doors with the key, only to have it slip into the seat gap unnoticed. The most frustrating cases are cars with remote start functions – starting the car via smartphone in the garage but forgetting the keys inside, resulting in them getting locked in. Later, I found that keeping a spare mechanical key in the wallet is the best solution for emergencies like this.
