What To Do If Your Keys Get Locked Inside The
CarAgain!

• Lets face it, there are few of us who havent
  locked the keys to our car inside it at one time
  or another, for some of us it may even be
  multiple times! You feel stupid, but above all,
  its just one major inconvenience, particularly
  if you only have the one key. Maybe you need to
  get someplace in a hurry, or something that you
  need is locked inside the car? Whatever it may
  be, youll want to open the car and retrieve
  those keys, pronto!
• So, if you find yourself locked out of your car,
  is there anything you can do to help yourself, or
  should you call a locksmith and have them undo
  your embarrassing mistake as quickly as possible?

• Possible ways of not having to share your
  stupidity with a locksmith!
• It should be made clear that the following
  suggestions may not work for everyone, and you
  could be at risk of making the situation worse
• Using a wire coat hanger
• Not everyone who locks themselves out of their
  car will have a wire coat hanger to hand, but if
  you should happen to have one, you may be able to
  use it to create a loop to pick up the key. Of
  course, this depends on their being an opening
  present, such as a window in which you can poke
  the wire loop through. However, even if a window
  is open, take care not to force the wire loop
  through lest you damage that, too!

• Using a Slim Jim
• If youre into your DIY or are a handyman by
  trade or hobby, then you may have a Slim Jim as
  part of your tool repertoire. However, these are
  usually used by licensed locksmiths and law
  enforcement officers, so do be warned that you
  could get yourself into some hot water if found
  in possession of one without the appropriate
  authorization!
• That said, if you are the legitimate owner of
  Slim Jim tool, then you could use it to slide
  into the narrow slit between the glass and the
  car door. Once youve done that, try to reach the
  lock mechanism with the tool and twist it to pull
  up the lock mechanism.

• Admit your stupidity, swallow your pride and call
  the locksmith!
• This is undoubtedly the safest and most sensible
  method of ensuring that not only do you get your
  car open and your keys back, but that you dont
  cause any unnecessary damage to your vehicle.
  Call a professional locksmith (please call a pro
  who is qualified and experienced, and not just
  your mate from down the road who knows how to get
  into cars!) and they will safely pick the lock
  using special tools designed just for that
  purpose. Its incredibly easy to damage locks, so
  using anyone but a professional is just silly.

• Even if youve accidentally locked your keys in
  the trunk of your car, a locksmith will be able
  to retrieve them quickly and easily.
• The quickest and most reliable way of getting
  into your locked car without the key, is to have
  a locksmith pick the lock and get you back on the
  road before youve even had time to be too
  annoyed at yourself! Alternatives may end up
  damaging your car, which in the long run, could
  cost you way more than a locksmith, not to
  mention the time youll save by using a
  professional.
