How to Break Into Your Car After Locking Yourself Out

You locked yourself out of the car. Now what? There are ways to break into your car and retrieve your keys that are so simple, they even do it in movies, if an actor can break into a car, so can you!

Now, you could do the smart thing and call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith, but that doesn’t make as exciting of a story, does it?

So let’s go back to breaking into your car. First off, make sure it is your car, do not go around breaking into other people’s cars, that will get you in trouble. We are trying to help you with your car problems, not get you in even more trouble. Only use these tips on your own car.

Method 1

The first step is to get the car door wedged away from the car. This means you need to have some sort of wedge, good luck finding something that will squeeze into that tight space between your car and the door to create an opening. You will also need a thin metal rod or something that you can slide into this crack and unlock the door. Don’t have a wedge type object or a rod? Well this is not the method you should use.

Method 2

You could call 24/7 Emergency Locksmith. They will be there as quickly as possible, no matter the time of the day, it’s even in their name. But this method has no risks, so we will move on.

Method 3

You could go with the window trick, which you typically see in movies. You somehow jimmy a metal rod, ruler, hanger, or something along those lines, in through the window and magically connect the end to the lock and voila, you are in. Oh, right you don’t have a rod or hanger or any other tool to jam in the window.

Method 4

Alright, this is a technical method. It takes skills, concentration, and patience. You are going to find something large, heavy even. The heavier the better. Then, with great force, throw this object straight at the window. With luck, it will shatter and you will be in your car! But you don’t want to shatter your window? Okay, let’s go to the last method.

Car Locks and the Cold

banner2888


Nothing is worse than locking yourself out of your car, except maybe locking yourself out of your car during a snowstorm. In this case your best option is to call a locksmith. With the right tools and training they can help you get in your car and out of the cold in no time.

But what if you don’t actually lock yourself out? What if your car is just too cold to unlock?

When the temperature outside drops below zero there is a chance the lock on your car will freeze shut. Moisture can get into the lock making it impossible to even turn the lock with your key. The cold could also cause your remote key to not function properly.

feat5544During this type of issue, you might not know the best approach to unlocking your car and getting out of the cold. One thing that could help is warming your key. If you carefully hold it over a flame for a second you should be able to get it into the lock, now you just need to make sure you always have a lighter on you during the cold months. Or if your car has a remote-start, use that. It should help heat your car and may unfreeze the locks on the door. After some warming up you should be able to get into your car and out of the cold.

It is also during the winter that people start their cars to heat them up and run inside to finish getting everything together before running off to work. What happens when your car decides to lock you out when this happens, with the keys in the ignition, your gas being wasted, and the minutes ticking by before you are supposed to be at work? This is another instance you should call a locksmith.

24/7 Emergency Locksmith, Inc. is here for you when you need it. We are committed to helping you quickly, and get you on your way. If you are having a lock problem, we can solve it.
