10 Ways To Get Car Keys Out Of Locked Vehicle

You and your family have just enjoyed a wonderful time at Universal Orlando Resort. It's a particularly hot day, so you come out to the parking lot to start the car and get the air conditioning running before everyone gets in.
You get out of the car to start to load things into the trunk. Before you take two steps, you hear the heart-dropping thunk of the door locks. What now?

Older vs. Newer Car Models

Whether you have an older or newer model car will be the difference in what tools you use and how you use them to get back into the car. For example, a hangar can be used on both cars but in different ways.
On the older model car, the hanger can be wedged in between the molding and the window or the window and the weather stripping. Using the hook, pull up on the locking mechanism at the top of the door or the control arm inside the door.
Inside a newer model car, once the hanger is inside, you can use it to push down the unlock button on the armrest.

Older Model Cars

1. Shoelace
2. Car antenna
If you're at home,
3. Fishing line
4. Hangar.

Newer Model Cars

5. Wedge and windshield wiper
6. Apps that unlock cars like the ones that are offered by Chevrolet, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Subaru
7. If you have access to the trunk, push down the rear seats.
8. Call roadside assistance or a locksmith like Prolocksmith.
If you're at home,
9. Hangar
10. A strip of plastic.

Tips

Carry a spare key in your purse or wallet.
Put a spare key in a magnetic key container and hide it in a creative, hard-to-reach area on the car. Better to struggle and retrieve the key when needed than it be easily found by a thief.
Only call the police if it's a dire emergency like a child or pet locked in a hot car.
