How to Get Locked Keys Out of a Car
- 1). Call the trusted friend or family member that you gave a spare key to for occasions like this. They can bring you their key so you can easily get inside your car. Or, remove the spare key you hid in a magnetic key case underneath your car, according to Carsforgirls.com. To use this case, slide the top open. Insert your spare key into the compartment and slide the top back shut. Then, reach under your car and attach the magnetic side of the case to the frame or other metal area. The best place will be on a clean, flat place. Make sure it can't be seen by others. After you attach the key case, wiggle it to ensure that it's securely in place.
- 2). Call your auto club, or any roadside assistance that is provided for you by your car insurance company. They can dispatch a tow truck driver to assist you. He can use a "Slim Jim," a long, thin metal tool that's designed to unlock car doors, and get you back inside your vehicle quickly. If you don't have the number of your auto club programmed in your cell phone, call 1-800-GOOG411. This is a nationwide directory for business numbers.
- 3). Call a locksmith to rescue you and get the locked keys out of your car. He can open the lock without damaging it, or the mechanisms inside your car door. Just like tow truck drivers, locksmiths are "on call" 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so it should be easy to find one. Look in a local phone book to find a locksmith. Or, call 1-800-GOOG411. You can locate one by providing the city, state and the type of service you need.
