If you have just locked your keys in your car, you are already on the right path to solving the problem, efficiently. The method you choose will largely depend on the resources available to you, as well as, your personal preference. <\/p>\n

Here are a few of your options:<\/em><\/h3>\n

❶ String and Slip Knot<\/h1>\n

If you have a long shoe string, or other type of string, you can create a slip knot and use it to manually unlock the door. The goal is to slide the string through the corner of the door along both sides, position the loop of the string around the actual door lock, pull it tight, and then pull the lock upwards to open the door. You can learn how to tie a slip knot within seconds by searching online. <\/p>\n

❷ Coat Hanger<\/h1>\n

Using a coat hanger to unlock a car door is an age-old method that your elders have probably relied on in the past. This method can be damaging to the rubber weather stripping around your car doors, as well as, the actual window and door hardware. In older model vehicles, this method could work, but it is the least recommended one to use.<\/p>\n

❸ Emergency Roadside Assistance<\/font><\/h1>\n

Sometimes the above two methods are just not options for drivers. This could be because they are uncomfortable or unable to perform the tasks themselves, or because they are in a hurry and need to get back on the road as soon as possible. In these cases, the best method for retrieving keys from a locked car would be a 24 hour roadside assistance company. This is especially true for those locked out of their vehicles in inclement or severe weather, or with children. A roadside assistance company operates around the clock, and some companies even operate on National holidays. No matter what time or day it is, they can help a stranded driver in need. As an emergency service, they can respond quickly and use professional tools and equipment to open your car door. Some roadside assistance services can even make duplicate car keys on site. <\/p>\n
