sue me.

Depends on location, what is available and what is most economical. If any is nearby.... I'll first ask a crackhead for help...they usually have ways and means. If none around... I'll try to use like a screwdriver and whatever else will do to make a space at the top of the door then angle in wire or whatever to unlock the door from the inside. I did this successfully several times before and never had to go for another option. My next option would be to break the small glass because I know that is readily available, easier to cover in case of bad weather, least expensive glass to break, least expensive and quickest to install and most likely would be wayyy less expensive than calling the professional lock smith.

temodent:

good option but you are very wrong that small glass is more expensive and harder to find than the door glass. If you must break a glass break the door window cheaper and easier to replace.

I don't have a car yet but I know before the end of this year 2016, Almighty God will provide me with an elegant car. I wish everyone like me the same. Amen

Kachisbarbie:
I have experienced it before, it took me time to open it myself because my phone, handbag...everything was inside. I was also home alone.

After opening it that day, I don't think it can ever take me more than 10minutes to open any car again, if the right TOOLS are available.

One of the reasons I bought Keke

Bigtoto:
If the spare is far, call somebody close to it, take your phone close to the car and tell the person to press the unlock. Button

donem:

No offence this shiiit don't work, don't recommend what u heard, but what uve tried.

Bigtoto:
oya break your 'windscreen ' and pass thru there to grab your key.

Happened to me twice, had no time to take my car to the car wash so I decided to do it myself. After washing the car I forgot my key inside, don't know what happened my car locked automatically
I called a friend of mine who apparently was pretty good at it cus he fell victim to such on daily basis...
Now here is what I learnt to avoid bin stuck but at your risk. I removed my plate number and hid the spare key behind it, used the bolt to tighten it. Whenever such happen u know what's next...

Tats:
My car will not lock if the key is inside the car or boot. It has happened twice.
As for the boot, it will pop back open when I try to lock it if the key is inside like in a work bag in the boot.
If it's inside the car, the door will not lock.

murmee:
Very risky. Especially now that you have broadcast it on Nairaland. That is the first place car thieves will now search. We have to remember that thieves/armed robbers are not exactly illiterates. They also log on to the internet to read and update.their craft.

I once locked my self out of my car on d street late one Friday nite. I called friends dt gave me phone nmbrs of 2panel-beaters, but non agreed 2come inspite of all my monetary promises, one told me he was drunk, the other said it was too late 4his wife 2let him leave d house. In desperation I called my mechanic, who rushed down. He ended up destroying my door handle, but still ddnt open d door. A friend finally came with a wire clothe hanger, and with a considerable crowd of onlookers, I managed 2open d door but d key was no where in d car. It had been in my back pocket throughout.

hardbody:


I buy into this. Great stuff.

Greatidonis:
Some of you guys are using outdated cars, modern and state of the art rides don't lock if the key is inside. It will give you a funny alarm. Unless it's on the move and your inside.

I will not employ someone like you to work in my company even if you offer to work without payment.

Siena:
For those posting how they managed to bust into their cars, using anything but the key, and stating where they actually hide the spare...

...do these posters realise how dumb this makes them? Next your cars will get boosted using the details you yourselves provided, then you'll all come whining on Nairaland, when in actual fact your loss was richly deserved.

If you guys had brains, you'd be dangerous.
