Not often, but there are times when you need to open the car without a key. There can be a lot of reasons for this: they forgot the keys in the car and slammed the doors, the alarm system broke down or the central lock is faulty, the battery is dead and the lock cylinders in the doors are removed. These are the most common problems.
Fortunately, you can open the VAZ 2109 easily and naturally with minimal damage and using "improvised" means. The article will discuss three ways to open a car without a key. The part was tested by the author on his car due to a dead battery and failing memory.
How to open a VAZ 2109 without a key
Method 1
This method is the easiest and most harmless. Required condition its application is the presence of factory door lock buttons in the cabin, or any other in the form of a fungus. They look like this:
If you have such buttons, then you are very lucky. Now you need to find a not thick rope about 1 meter long, it can be smaller, the main thing is that it gets from the roof of the car to the button for fixing the door lock and about 30 cm remains. Thin laces from your sneakers may work. We definitely don't need flat laces. Now, when we have a rope of the required length, we make a tightening loop at one of its ends, with a diameter of about twice the size of the door latch cap.
The most important and difficult moment comes. We squeeze driver's door car from above, in the place indicated in the picture.
We lower the prepared rope and with some attempt, depending on your accuracy, we put it on the lock latch. Next, we lower the rope along the doorway so that it becomes parallel to the roof and tighten the loop on the latch. Now it remains only to pull out the lock latch and your VAZ 2109 is open without a key and without damage.
Method 2
There is another way to open the VAZ 2109. In this case, you can also do without damage if you do everything carefully. In the event that your door lock retainers are not in the form of a fungus, then you can try to do it differently. In this case, we need a regular screwdriver or better two. The main thing is that they should not be "cross", moderately thin and relatively strong. We go to the rear window and very carefully insert a screwdriver under its seal. I would advise you to do it in the place indicated in the picture.
Together with the rounding of the corners of the vent, the screwdriver should go through. The most important thing is not to rush and act carefully so as not to damage the window seal. After the screwdriver has passed inside, you need to gently squeeze the window in your direction, helping to pull the seal with your other hand. In the worst case, when opening the VAZ 2109, you will damage the glass seal, but not so much that you cannot put it back. However, it will have to be replaced when the opportunity arises.
Method 3
Using this method, you will definitely not be able to open your VAZ 2109 without damage. If none of the previous methods worked for you and your car has a trunk lock cylinder, then you can try this method.
You need to find a good flat-blade screwdriver that is "powerful" enough. We insert a screwdriver into the tailgate lock cylinder and sharply try to turn in the direction of opening. If you are strong enough and do everything abruptly, then the lock will turn and access to the car is free. Unfortunately, this method does not always help.
Method 4
This method has not been tested by the author, but found on the Internet and tested by other car owners.
If your car does not have a rotten trunk lid and a standard lock is installed, then all you need is to sharply pull on yourself and pull the trunk lid up. The probability of damage to the cover in those places that you hold on to is quite high if the cover is far from new. But usually, almost any VAZ 2109 opens in the first two ways.
Keep track of the condition of the car and do not forget the keys in the cabin - then you will not have to learn how to open the car without a key.
Sometimes there are situations in which the car door slammed shut, and the car key was left inside it. Breaking glass can be a radical solution. However, this method has a number of disadvantages.
Firstly, significant expenses for the purchase and installation of new glass, and secondly, the operation of the car in the absence of glass, especially in winter time will bring little pleasure. Therefore, car owners are interested in the answer to the question of how you can get inside the car on your own in the absence of keys, without damaging the car itself.
In fact, there are quite a few options for opening a car door without keys. To do this, you need to have the most common tools at hand, it can be a ruler or a tennis ball. The brand of the car is taken into account, as well as the model of the lock. In general, the mechanism is almost identical, with the exception of various kinds windows and a few small nuances.
As you might guess, the easiest to open domestic brands cars. In such machines, the most simple systems protection and simple designs door locks. You can deal with such doors in the shortest possible time. Foreign-made machines will require a longer time to open them.
rope loop
To open the door using this method, you must have a piece of rope or fishing line. First thing bend the door corner. To do this, you can use any tool. Up to culinary wooden or plastic spatulas. It is best to use wooden pegs for these purposes.
In order not to scratch the car's paintwork, you need to stick electrical tape on the area where you will wield tools. In the absence of electrical tape, you can use a cloth.
A loop is tied on a rope or fishing line. This rope is pulled into the resulting gap. Now the most basic thing, you need to grab the door lock button with a loop, which opens the doors. As soon as the blocking button is in the loop, you need to pull the rope up and the door will open. With the necessary skill and a little luck, the whole operation will pass quickly enough.
Phone use
Is the most simple option with the only drawback - sometimes it is impossible to use it. Each car has a pair of keys, the second of which is at home. It is enough to call one of the relatives so that they deliver a spare key.
In order not to provoke criminals, you cannot leave the car unattended if the keys are inside it. You can ask the security guard to watch the car so that outsiders do not take advantage of the situation. This method does not make sense if an unpleasant situation has occurred far from home and there is no way to open the doors with a second key.
A way to open a domestic car or an old foreign car
An old car can be opened by first pulling out the window seal. This manipulation will unlock the door. As one of the ways, you can pull out the window itself, and after the car is open, put it in its original place.
An old car that has been in operation for many years can be opened in a similar way. The point is that the cylinders inside the door lock structure gradually wear out.
Care must be taken when attempting to use this method. To do this, carefully insert the key and do not make sudden manipulations. Slightly moving the handle from side to side, you can loosen the design of the lock.
Opening the car with a dead battery
Car door locks simply freeze at low air temperatures in very coldy. The situation is aggravated if the battery of the car, which is equipped with a central lock, is discharged.
A second battery can help open the car. It will be necessary to open the hood and put the battery closer to the car. Next, you need two cigarette lighter wires. First we connect the minus of the battery and the base, the second we connect the plus of the battery to the starter. To open the car using this method, the presence of a second person is required, who will open the car with a key fob.
You can open the car through open hood and in another way. To do this, use the hood latch cable. It is necessary to get it, pick it up and pull sharply.
Opening the car with a tennis ball
To unlock a car door using this method, you will need a knife, an awl, and a tennis ball. With an awl and a knife, we cut a small hole in the ball, about the size of a finger.
Firmly attach the hole of the ball to door lock and sharply press the ball with your hand. Cutting air flow will cause the flag to rise up, the door will be opened.
Application of wire to open the machine
Many have seen on TV that car doors can be opened with ordinary wire. Now it's time to put this method into practice. Actually this one is quite simple. You need to have a small screwdriver, a piece of wire and a nail file with you. In the absence of wire, another improvised item will do, for example, a knitting needle or clothes hanger, and a small welding electrode will do.
First you need to pull out a few centimeters of the rubber window seal. You can pick it up with a screwdriver or a nail file. We bend the hook at the end of the wire and insert it into the gap formed.
The wire used must be strong enough not to bend from the manipulations performed inside the door. At the same time, too thick will not work, because it will not fit into the opening. Before you start opening the doors in this way, you need to turn off the alarm.
When you manage to find the lock, you need to move the wire to the left side. The essence of the method is to feel the pull of the door mechanism and lift it up by pulling the wire. As a rule, people with no experience manage to open the car door with 1-2 times.
You can use the wire to try another way to get into the car. If you manage to open the door window with your hands at least a centimeter and stick the wire into the open slot, then you can try to hook the blocker.
Opening car doors with a ruler
At first glance, it seems implausible that this simple stationery tool can handle almost all car locks. First of all, you need to pull out the seal near the lock and insert a ruler there.
This method is similar to the method of opening with a wire, with the difference that the pressure on the rod here will be done with a ruler. It will take a little effort to get the flag up.
Most likely it will not be possible to open a modern car in this way. because it provides protection against such actions. But for a domestic car, this technique is very relevant.
How not to be left without keys near a locked car
The car owner who left the keys in the car is not an isolated case. That is why experienced motorists are ready to give some tips so as not to be near a locked car without keys:
- To avoid the need to open the car without using the keys, you can make a duplicate car key. It can be decorated in the form of a pendant and hung around your neck or put in your wallet and always carry with you. In extreme cases, you can use plasticine to make a mold of the car key in advance;
- For those who live in regions with harsh winters, it will be relevant to turn off the automatic closing of the central lock in winter. This precaution allows you to avoid a situation where you need to open the car with a frozen lock and a discharged battery;

But how to do that? How to get out of this situation? Consider the simplest example and a VAZ 2109 car (for most VAZs this method worker).
In order to open the VAZ without a key, you only need one small rope. The rope should be dense and strong, but at the same time thin enough.
We measure 2 meters of such a rope. In the center of this rope you need to tie a special knot.
What knot should be tied? We tie the knot in such a way that when we pull the rope, the knot unties itself.
To make such a knot, you need to make two loops in the center of the rope next to each other. Then thread one loop into the other and pull a little. See photo instructions on how to make such a knot.
When the knot is ready, the rope must be passed through the seal. We pass it under the door, lower the rope down, and begin to pull it from side to side.
Then we lift both ends of the rope up. It remains only to pull up and the door will be opened.
