", I will try to help those who have become a victim of a situation where the car doors are locked, and the key is left in the ignition or just inside the car. If you have not yet encountered such a problem, I advise you to read this article so that in the event of this trouble, you know how to act in this situation.
The article will help save time, money, as well as your own nerve cells.
I want to note right away that the purpose of this article is to help those who are in an unpleasant situation and cannot get into MY car. In no way am I calling for any illegal actions and I am not an experienced burglar, and this article is not positioned as a manual for car burglars. All I want is to help "drowning" people who got into an unpleasant situation related to the automatic locking of car doors.
I'll start, perhaps, with the fact that this article is rather a cry from the heart than the usual guide for beginners. Why? Yes, because the other day I, the author of this article, myself found myself in such an unpleasant situation when the key was left in the ignition and the doors slammed shut. To be honest, I personally, like most of those with whom this happens, did not believe until the very end that such a fate could befall me. I thought that this could happen to anyone, but not to me, for which I actually paid the price ...
I have not been able to figure out why this is happening. Why car manufacturers came up with such an option is not clear to me personally. Perhaps you will have some ideas about this, in which case feel free to comment.
Here is how it was. I got out of the car for literally a minute, get some fresh air while I waited for my wife. The key was in the ignition, the engine was off, the radio worked and burned. Leaving the car, I did not block anything and did not press any special buttons, but what was my surprise when my wife, pulling the passenger door handle, said that the door was locked. Not believing her, I pulled the handle driver's door and with horror stated the fact that the car slammed shut ... Why this happened, I still don’t understand, maybe it’s some kind of protective function or just a “glitch” of the central lock (central lock), but the fact remains, I get into the car I can't, the key is inside and I don't have a spare. Autumn, night, first frosts, mobile connection practically does not work... Arrived! What to do? The first thought was to break the glass, but, of course, I didn’t do it right away, because I once read an article about how you can open the door without a key if the car is blocked. Rummaging through my memories, I remembered several ways, which I will now introduce you to.
First what needs to be done is to remember an additional set of keys from your car. Even if they are 10, 20, or even 50 km away, it is cheaper to go after them than to break a window. If you do not have those, then I sincerely sympathize with you, read on, perhaps other ways will help you.
Second way - find the number of a company that specializes in such emergency door openings. How to do it? If you have a smartphone or laptop, try to "find" the Internet. We are looking for " emergency opening of car doors", "car door slammed key in the lock", "car door locked"etc. The search will give you a list of sites that can help you. If you don't have the Internet or you don't know how to use a computer, then the next way out is to call a friend or girlfriend and act through them, let them find a number or people, who can perform an emergency opening of a car door.The specialist will open the door in a matter of minutes, and for the work they will charge no more than you would have to pay for glass and installation of a new one.In addition, this method better themes that all windows will remain intact, and when selling a car, this is an important plus. When buying a car, buyers check the date of manufacture of glasses and, if they find a discrepancy, they are unlikely to believe that it was an unpleasant situation in which all the doors in the car slammed shut and you yourself had to break the glass. Most likely, the potential buyer will decide that the glass was changed after the accident, and the car after the accident, as you understand, is not the best option, therefore, most likely, you will sell the car for a long time ...
Method three - bend the edge of the driver's door and press the ESP button (power window regulator) with something long. The method is good, provided that the ESP works for you in all positions of the ignition key. me, in this case, no luck, the focus didn't work, the key was in the wrong position, and even reaching the button, we couldn't lower the glass. The principle here is this: we install something like a wedge between the door and the body, which makes it possible to bend the door, put something metal or whatever is at hand into the gap formed and press the button to lower the glass. When the glass goes down you can open the door. As a blade, you can use a kitchen spatula or, for example, very a good option- tonometer cuff. It is necessary to insert a pillow from the device for measuring blood pressure into the gap, after which, using a “pear”, we pump air, which will increase the volume of the cuff and the gap between the door and the body will become large enough to perform the above operations.
Fourth way - rope and knot. This method very effective when the door lock button is located on door card near the glass itself, for example, since on , . In order to open the car doors using this method, you will need a piece of rope or, in extreme cases, a shoelace. The principle is as follows, you need to make a loop, which, if necessary, can be tightened. We carefully wind the cord with the loop from the end of the door inside the passenger compartment, then place the loop opposite the door lock button, put the loop on the button and tighten the loop. Next, place the ends over the button and pull up, this will allow you to raise the button and unlock the draw.
Method five - wire with a hook. Fold up on the driver's door rubber compressor and insert a wire with a hook at the end into the gap formed. With this hook, you need to hook the rod of the lock opening mechanism and pull it up. As a rule, after this manipulation, the door opens. Structurally, this thrust is located in different ways, so it is rather difficult to give any specific advice, it is necessary to act according to the situation.
Sixth way . This method, in principle, repeats the previous one, just in this case we will not act on the traction, but on the trunk opening button. We act in the same way, bend the hook out of the wire, bend the edge of the driver's door and try to reach the trunk opening button. After the trunk opens, recline the seat, make our way inside the cabin and open the doors.
Method seven - we break the lock. This method should be used only as a last resort, when other methods cannot achieve the desired result. It consists in using brute force to act on the door lock cylinder, after which you will have to repair the lock, and also, most likely, replace all door and trunk cylinders. By the way, most likely, after that you will have two keys - one for the doors, the second for. If this does not bother you, you can use this method, however, due to the high cost, I would recommend considering it only in case of emergency.
Eighth way - radical. If all of the above did not help, you still have to break the glass. Before you knock out the glass, you need to think carefully. It seems to be a trifling matter, but if you hurry, you can do such “businesses” that repairs will cost many times more and there will be twice as many problems. First you need to find out what kind of glass you need to beat, for this, either yourself or through friends, find out the cost of all glasses separately, find out if they are available, as well as the cost of installing it. Weigh all the pros and cons, after which you can start beating. If you have adhesive tape on hand, then before hitting it, it is better to paste over the glass with adhesive tape, this will hold the fragments and prevent them from scattering throughout the cabin. Do not paste over only the area you are going to hit.
You need to beat carefully, do not try to be a hero and try to break the glass with your bare hand or foot. Firstly, this is glass, no matter how you twist it, you can cut yourself, and secondly, it does not break as easily as they show in the movies. For example, I broke the glass in my car from the fifth time using a metal mount. If you have a drill on hand, it would be nice to try to drill through the glass, this would allow you to avoid a million fragments and at least get home without problems and drafts. If there is no drill, hit with whatever you have to, a stone, a log, try to break the glass so that it does not fall out completely, but only makes it possible to stick your hand in and open the door. Glass should be broken with gloves, this will save you from unnecessary problems and unnecessary blood ... After you solve the problem, the hole must be sealed with adhesive tape or cellophane, in short, by any means, you need to close the hole.
How to avoid such situations?
Now I will give some useful tips how to make sure that you never encounter a similar situation, or at least get out of it with minimal losses.
- Try never to leave the key in the car. When you get out of the car, take the key out of the lock.
- Make a duplicate key. If you have a duplicate, you can always return home, take your second key and use it to open a locked car. If you don’t want to make a full-fledged key with a chip, make a regular master key (a key without a chip), it will be cheaper and in the event of this trouble, you can easily open your locked car. Although I would recommend that you still spare no money and make a full-fledged key with a chip. If you lose your only key, it will cost you a huge penny to have a new one made by the dealer without the original key.
- Find out the number of the company that provides services for emergency opening cars before it happens to you.
- Do not use the automatic door lock option.
- Do not close at least one of the doors when you get out of the car, and the key is in the lock, let them be closed, but not closed. If the doors are blocked, you can get into the car.
- If you leave the car for a long time, take the keys with you.
- When warming up the car, leave one door open or at least open the glass. Alternatively, you can take a remote control key fob with you and leave the key in the lock. If the door is blocked, you can open it with the key fob.
I have everything, I hope this article will help someone solve big problem. If you know other ways to open the car when the doors are slammed and the key is in the lock, feel free to share them using the comment form ..
A very unpleasant, but fortunately rare situation when someone forgot their own car keys, in the ignition, on the seat, while the car doors were locked. As a rule, blocking occurs with a central lock, sometimes through an alarm. The door locks close after a certain time, thereby restricting access to the car.
How to get into the car most painlessly if there is no set of spare parts nearby, for example, you are in another city or there are none at all. That is what we will talk about in this article.
What documents do you need to have if you open the car without a key
First of all, in order to open even in your car, take care of the documents for the right to own it and the documents proving your identity. After all, respectable citizens may well try to detain you, or even directly the police themselves. If the documents are in the car, then there is no alternative.
Ways to open a car without a key
We will start with the most affordable and cost-effective options, and finish with how to properly break glass if you have a completely stalemate.
The first option for opening the doors would be to use a simple tool made of steel wire. The diameter of the wire should be about 3-4 mm, the use of a thicker wire will be problematic, a smaller diameter will not provide it with the necessary rigidity. And so, we take a wire about 50-70 cm long, at the end we make a hook, with a radius of 40-60 mm. Next, we push the wire between the seal and the glass, as shown in the photo.
At different “depths” of installing the wire and leading it from one edge of the door to the other, we are trying to find the door lock rod. In fact, such manipulations are semi-chaotic, semi-systematic, but their meaning comes down to hooking the lock rod and pulling it up.
Finally, open the car door.
If we talk about the practicality of the application, then this method is very effective, but with one condition, if the locking of the locks in the car has vertical rods, and the electric locks do not contain a self-locking worm gear (usually a rarity). In addition, sometimes a frame is installed on the door, which will also prevent the penetration of the wire, the ruler between the glass and the seal. As a rule, this method is suitable for VAZs and inexpensive foreign cars.
The second method is more universal in relation to locks, but also the most time-consuming. It will be necessary to pass a wire into the cabin, which will open access to your car. But the wire in the car interior is not so easy to miss.
Before passing the wire, you need to pull the front door, in the upper right corner if it is the driver's and in the upper left if it is the passenger front door. It may seem surprising that this is not done, but in fact, everything is quite real. It is necessary to insert a lever or wedge into the regular gap between the door and the body and then, applying force, increase the gap to the minimum so that the wire passes. This procedure must be done carefully so as not to damage the paintwork, minimally affect the door lock and the door itself, and not break the glass. You can use for this:
2-3 screwdrivers with a long and hard shaft and a rag.
A few wooden wedges, it is also better to use a rag. Wedges wrapped in fabric are driven by hand into the gap between the door and the body.
There are also specialized inflatable pillows. They work as efficiently as possible, while not harming the vehicle components.
And so, in the end, having received a gap, we glue the frame with adhesive tape or electrical tape so as not to damage the paintwork, insert the wire and, testing our luck, coupled with skill, try to reach the central locking button ...
... or door handles.
Finally, we open the door.
If this option does not suit you, for any reason, for example, there is a serious alarm system, locks with a worm gear are installed, or you forgot the keys in the trunk, then you still have to break something in your favorite car. As for breaking the larvae of the locks, if you don’t have a VAZ, we would warn you, firstly, it’s not so easy, secondly, they also cost money, and thirdly, there is a high probability of damaging the plane body parts around them and LKP.
It remains an option to penetrate through the glass.
What kind of glass to break if the car is closed and there are no keys
First of all, you need to find out which of the glasses of your car is the cheapest, as a rule, it turns out to be cheaper, not less. For example, on Mazda 6, the window leaf costs about $ 200, and side windows about $100. It will also be important to find out about the presence of glass, otherwise without glass, if you wait for it, you will not have a very comfortable ride and not very safe to leave the car unattended.
Before breaking the glass, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. First of all, it is necessary to minimize the spread of glass after it breaks, for this you can pre-glue the glass with adhesive tape. Do not seal the place where the impact will occur. Close the doors and bodywork with rags, where fragments can fly and scratch it. For impact, it is best to use a heavy hammer of 800-1000 grams. Beat gently, but strongly, according to the phrase from the famous comedy. The result of hitting the car 100%.

You should not laugh at absent-minded people who often lose and forget everything. Even experienced and responsible drivers are faced with when their car keys are locked in the cabin. To pull them out, you can use improvised means: a thin metal rod or ruler, but not everyone is familiar with the intricacies of safely opening a locked door. It's not taught in driving school...
Many drivers, out of desperation or because there is no time, go to extreme measures - they break one of the windows in the car to get into the salon. Installed in cars laminated glass, triplex - upon impact, it does not break into small fragments, but breaks. There is a polymer film inside the glass, and the only thing that is required from the owner of the cars is to carefully remove the sharp fragments and clean the window opening. But there are some simple ways to get into a car without cardinal violations. appearance cars.
These penetration methods do not require special equipment and a lot of car mechanic experience (perhaps that's why in Soviet time every hooligan could open a Zhiguli in two minutes...). Wire, iron hangers, flat metal rulers and many other unexpected items are used as tools. Calling a car mechanic is also an option, but maybe you should try to save money if you can open the car yourself?
Important! If a child or a pet is locked in the car (especially if the temperature outside is plus 20) - do not experiment! Call the fire department, emergency services, or the police.
Warning! Do not use the following instructions to break into someone else's car. Nobody canceled the Criminal Code - this is the first, and the second - when a car is opened by these methods, an alarm is triggered in 80%, which screams at the whole district. The owner of the vehicle will be assisted by a policeman - very often in professional kit law enforcement is inflatable pillow security that can be used to open the door and access the lock. And if the car is not yours...
The very first thing the driver is asked to do is make sure all the doors are locked. It will be very unpleasant if, after overcoming all the difficulties, in the end it turns out that the rear passenger door was only slightly slammed ...
Three of the most simple options, How . But first you need to determine what type of drive is installed on car locks: mechanics or electronics.
The mechanical drive of the door lock is determined by the latch sticking up. The door lock occurs when the latch head is recessed into the doorway.
With electronic locking, instead of the locking heads in regular places doors are buttons that switch. If car doors open via remote control remote control is an electronic drive.
Electronics. Simple Ways open the car.
Glass ajar
. Stage 1. Carefully inspect all door windows - if a small gap is found, proceed as follows:
. Stage 2. Take a long and thin metal rod, you can straighten a wire hanger for clothes. The tool should be thin so that it fits into the slot, solid so that it does not bend when pressing on the flag (button) of the blocker, and long.
. Stage 3. Insert the rod into the slot, point it at the blocker and press it with optimal force. If the button is clearly visible on the panel, you can use a flat metal ruler. All. The door is open, he takes out the blocked keys and promises himself to tightly close all the windows so that the hooligans would not use this method tomorrow.
If the unlock button is on the console and the ability to get to it with the help of handicraft devices is not great, it's worth considering - maybe calling a car mechanic would be the best way out?
With trunk open
This unlocking method is even easier than with loosely closed side windows.
. Stage 1. Open the trunk, carefully inspect it and find the cord emergency opening rear seats. This is such a small "tail", which is most often located on the door in luggage compartment or in the trunk.
. Stage 2. A strong jerk on the cord will remove it from the stop rear seats- They will be easy enough to fold inside. A strong push, and the happy driver gets inside through the emergency entrance, while making a promise to himself to make sure that he is always locked up.
If everything is closed
Careful drivers who always close the side windows tightly and never leave the trunk open should do the following with the keys locked in the car.
. Stage 1. Pull the door. You should take any metal (can be wooden) wedge, for example, a door stopper, and drive (drive) it between the body and (attention!) The top of the door. To avoid scratching the paint, wrap the wedge in a soft cloth.
. Stage 2. An already familiar wire or a pre-prepared straightened metal hanger is used as a tool. Insert a tool into the gap between the body and the door and press the lock lock flag in.
. Stage 3. The driver takes out his keys and promises himself that he will install an even louder alarm on his car.
Mechanical door locks
If the glass is slightly open
In order to open the locks in the door, the driver will need a thin wire with a small hook at the end. The device must be elastic enough so that the wire hook or loop does not unbend, long enough to reach the latch, and thin so that it fits optimally into the gap left in the window. You can use a metal hanger to form a hook and loop, you will need pliers or pliers.
None of the car owners is immune from an extremely unpleasant situation when their doors are locked and the key is left inside. But, no matter how you are in a hurry and not nervous at this moment, you need to pull yourself together. Every problem has a solution, so don't worry too much.
Council number 1.
After making sure that the keys are in the cabin, first of all consider the option of using a duplicate. If you have a spare key at home, ask a relative to bring it. If you have driven far away, then you can try using the key fob using your phone. At the same time, the person who presses the opening should keep the key fob at a distance of about 20 centimeters from the microphone, and you can use the speakerphone.
Option for lazy people.
For those who do not like to experiment and who do not like the first advice, it is proposed to call special service. Just keep in mind that their services are not cheap, they are far from being performed instantly, and there may be problems with quality (“specialists” are different). Therefore, it is better to call trusted or recommended companies. Not infrequently, such masters use the following methods.
For others.
If you trust your hands more or there is simply no service you need nearby, then you can do everything yourself. It is only worth considering that different cars open differently. Usually than newer model the more difficult your task. And if done incorrectly, your car can be damaged. Before using the following methods, try pressing down one of the windows with your palms pressed or use a similar (if any) key. The probability of success is very small, but in some cases not new cars were opened this way. The main thing is not to overdo it, if it doesn’t work out, stop in time.
Using a hook.
This method is most often used by car owners. domestic production. First you need to find a wire of medium thickness, preferably hard. You will need a piece of long wire about half a meter. On one edge we make a hook under acute angle(45 degrees), so that the length of the bent part is up to ten centimeters. The hook must be inserted between the glass and the seal (having previously bent it, if required) and try to touch the door rod, after which we pull the wire up. If your car does not have a protective cover on the lock, then everything is very simple, otherwise this option is not for you.
Using a loop.
If your opening button inside the car is not hidden in the trim and protrudes even a little, then it can be pry off with a loop tied at the edge of a fishing line, rope or shoelace in general (you are more likely to have it at this moment). In this case, in some cases, you will have to slightly bend the door in the corner. To do this, you can use, for example, a wooden wedge, previously wrapped with a piece of cloth. You need to start it carefully, lightly tapping with your hand. Otherwise, you can not do without damage to the car.
If the button cannot be hooked, you can return to the hook option only by taking a longer piece of wire 1-2 meters. Having brought it inside the car (through a slot in the corner of the door or if it is possible to lower the glass at least a little), we catch door handle and open the door. When choosing an opening option, you need to take into account the security features of your iron horse.
more drastic measures.
Those who have a drill at hand and have no other options are invited to simply drill out the “larva” of the lock. But before that, you should think about what will be cheaper: replacing all the locks or, for example, broken glass. If there is no drill at hand, then you can replace it with a screwdriver, sticking it into the secret of the lock and scrolling it with force, the effect will be the same. Those who decide to still break the glass are not advised to choose a “window” for this purpose, since its replacement is more expensive and problematic. And be careful, because this is not a Hollywood action movie, where the glass is pierced with fingers without leaving a scratch.
