Though have made multiple attempt closing the door against my key inside. But my car can't and won't lock if the keys are inside.. So their is no way for me to lock my keys inside. |

daamazing:An experienced panel beater will open ANY door, your jaws will drop at how quick he wld open your beloved "German" car door. Openning the door is very easy the real difficulty is in starting the car without the right key. |

madgoat:Don't mind him, the Alarm of the Car may just trigger but he sure will open it. He just needs to bend the door frame with an Iron rod and insert the metal hanger to push the unlock button. |

Happened once and made me feel so stupid. Luckily enough my father house is two streets away and thats where I prefer keeping my duplicate keys. The stupid thing was I only remebered the existence of a duplicate about 20munites after panicking. Now I keep it my handy bag together with the phone, lipstick and all......things I know I never go without. |
| Re: Has Your Car Key Been Locked Inside Your Share Your Experience by milkytins(m): 7:53am On May 06, 2017 |
It happened to me at night and no panel to call at the late hour. I had to break the rear quarter glass to open the door. |
| Re: Has Your Car Key Been Locked Inside Your Share Your Experience by HardMirror(m): 7:55am On May 06, 2017 |
madgoat:Don't mind him. He thinks the more modern the car is, the harder I is to open. In fact modern and sophisticated cars are the easiest to open because the panel beater will just target the unlock button through the door's rubber seamsn just one press of the button and clicK! The doors are opened. Lol |

Few months back. I sold my car after I had used it for 5years. I didn't get another immediately as the fund to get the desired car isn't available yet. I had to go get my younger brother's Nissan Xterra to take my family to a function this faithful day. We got to venue and while exchanging pleasantries I remember the mint I brought was in the car. I went back to the car unlock as usual with the remote. Putthe key back into my pocket as usual open the door and sit in the car to rearrange the money put them in different pockets. I got down frim the car jam the door then remembered I need to take one envelope for the celebrant's mum. I dipped my hand in my pocket and alas it's empty. Wow! I looked throughout the front door window already wind up and behold the key was sitting on the seat. I ran in to inform my friend then we started looking out for panel beatter. We eventually got one after following the direction pointed to us by one of the hottel's security. The man firstly chrged us to an agreed cost. He stood up looked around for few instruments to use and followed us to the car. We got to the car and this man started working. He called us to assist him in pulling the door from the top so that he can get a clear reach to get the key out. After trying with no success he left and promised to get more tools for the job. We wait for about 5 minutes and the man has not returned so we started trying it out ourselves. We have tried for some 15 minutes sweating profusely when the man returned with 2 others. One of the new guys asked us to stop turned to the other man who brought them and asked him if he had told us the cost and if we had agreed to pay. At that point I asked them what their real motive was, was it to collect the money first or do the job. Already seeing that we were making progress on our own without the so called professionals. I asked the to leave as they have shown no interest in doing the job but started unnecessary argument about money. My friend and I got another hand. We went to work pulling at the door and trying getting out the key with a string. Later I asked the 2men to pull the door and Inserted a cain through the opening from the top and pressed the unlock button on the remote. Thelights blinked as there was a click on the door. Thats how we opened the door after trying all sort of methods for another 20minutes. |

Never happened to me before but it has happened to my dad on several occasions! Panel Beaters usually bailed him out but it seems he now has an extra key! That thing can be frustrating ehn most especially when in a hurry |

AntiWailer:Most certainly not a BMW with security package like mine bro. Happenned to me last year whereby I mistakenly dropped the keys in the booth while loading stuffs inside and slammed it shut and that was how my agony began. Called BMW road emergency and they asked me if my car is equipped with security package, I said yes and they told me nobody can open it, not even them. Only alternative I have will be to order for a new key from BMW headquarters in München ( note that I stupidly kept the spares inside the glove box). The BMW callcenter guy then gave me off-record a number of a Polish locksmith firm he knew that specializes in such hardnut cases. I called them, they came and used all their tools and wits for over an hour to get any of the doors, windows or the booth to even open a little without success. My car had to spend 3 days on a busy road before I got new keys to open it because I wouldn't have them smash open a 300 Euros car window and then go on to destroy the glove box to retrieve the spare because I locked it too with a separate key that the central lock won't activate. I don't know of other cars but bro., your panel beater can not open a BMW equipped with security package and most BMW cars doesn't come with this package because it's part of the optional expensive Extras. |

It was a terrible experience. Like James Bond i had driven my Toyota Camry pencil light to a bank for a little transaction with my Colleague,steped out of my car in an amazing style, pressed my central lock only to discover that my car keys were inside after bouncing the door of my car like a chief bouncer. I had to go looking for a panel who took less than two minutes to open the car and went away with my hard earned 1k. Since then my brain will never fail me to be more smarter than the devil . |

So nobody knows about the tennis ball way of opening a car |

DOnlooker:The problem with this situation is 1. It is not Nigeria 2. They are focused on it not being possible to "PICK" the locks. That could be difficult. Nigerian panel beaters focus on getting access to the controls inside the car and using them to unlock the car. The worst would be to bend the car door a bit and gain access to the unlock knob in the car. This is not about picking locks. |

I don't fidget in dis kind of situation. Once happened to me and I just called my wife and she just brought out the remote control from far away home, Press the unlock key close to her phone's microphone and i received a beep on my phone and the car was unlocked. That solved the problem. |
