If you’ve ever lost your car keys or forgotten them inside the vehicle, you know how difficult and stressful it is to try to open the door. So how to do this without the key? There are several possible methods. At the awesome.clubwe have found some solutions to help you in these emergencies.
In the end, a bonus to prevent your vehicle from being stolen.
1. Use a tennis ball
We’re a little skeptical about it, but apparently it works. Punch a hole in the tennis ball, place it over the keyhole and push. The force of the air coming from the ball should unlock the car.
2. Use a shoelace
It may take a while and will only work for a car with a pull-out lock mechanism, but that’s not impossible. Also, it is very likely that you have this tool on hand. Tie a small bow, gently push the shoelace towards the door and open the latch.
3. Use the hanger hook
This method will only work with horizontal locks. You must take a wire hook from the hanger and attach it to the door. Place the hook around the latch and pull it out.
4. Use a stick and screwdriver
You must be very careful with this method because the screwdriver can easily damage the interior and exterior of the car. The principle is the same: create a small space with the screwdriver and press the lock with the rod.
5. Use a spatula
Insert the spatula or a metal lever and open a space in the door, so you can push the tool and lift the latch.
6. Use an air support
This method has the same principle as the screwdriver method, but air is used to open the door instead of a metal object. With this tool, you can open the car in a minute. What is the positive side of this technique compared to the screwdriver? You won’t damage the car’s paint. The downside? This tool can be very expensive and it may be easier and cheaper to call a locksmith than to get this tool.
7. Use a plastic strip
Fold the strip, insert it through the edge of the door and lift the latch. Easy, right?
8. Simply call your insurance
There is nothing wrong with asking for help. Call your insurance and someone will come to solve your problem quickly.
9. Use a professional tool to open locks
If you know how to use metal hooks to pick locks, you will be able to do this very easily.
10. Call a locksmith
The nearest locksmith may be the best option. They definitely have all the tools and skills for that.
Bonus: a hidden coin
This method isn’t about unlocking your car: it’s about securing your car. If you find a coin on the door handle of your car (as in the photo), you should call the police, because it is possible that this is not a good thing. When you open the door, you think the car is completely secure, but a coin placed this way will not allow the lock to work properly, and when the car is alone, the doors will be free for thieves to enter.
