Locked Out of Your Car? Here’s How to Get Back In!

Locked out of your car with the keys inside? Don’t panic! Here are three ways to unlock your car in an emergency.

1- Using a Shoelace (For Cars with a Pull-Up Lock):

– Take a long shoelace and tie a loose slipknot in the middle.

– Insert the lace between the door and the frame near the lock.

– Work the knot around the vertical lock button and pull up to unlock.

2- Using a Coat Hanger (For Older Cars with Manual Locks):

– Straighten a wire coat hanger and bend a small hook at one end.

– Slide it between the door and window seal.

– Hook onto the lock mechanism and pull to unlock.

3- Using Bobby Pins (Lock-Picking Method):

– Insert one straightened bobby pin into the bottom of the lock.

– Use a second bent pin to manipulate the pins inside.

– This technique requires practice and is typically effective only on older car locks.

⚠️ Important Warnings:

– These methods work mainly on older vehicles with manual locks.

– For modern cars, use an emergency unlocking app (if available) or call roadside assistance.

– Trying to force the door open may *damage the car’s paint or weather stripping.
