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 the side windows are 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%.
Many car owners have found themselves in such an unpleasant situation when they lost their car keys or the doors slammed shut, and the key remained inside the cabin, which did not allow us to open the doors. Let's talk in more detail about how to open your car without a key and what to do in such an unpleasant situation.
Immediately make a reservation that there are numerous possibilities and ways to open a car without a key. Try to decide this problem you can, both on your own with the help of improvised means, or turn to professionals who can, without damaging the lock, open the car doors, solving your problems.
First way
If the doors of your car are slammed shut and the key is left inside, you can try to gently pry rubber compressor. It is best to remove the seal from the side of the driver's door near the lock. For this work, you will need a small wire, a nail file or a thin screwdriver.
You should pry off the seal and take out a small part of it, so you can access the door lock, and with the help of a wire or a nail file, you will need to press the hook of the door lock, after which you can find the door locking mechanism and open the lock.
We agree right away that this method is more suitable for domestic cars or foreign cars made in the early nineties. Such machines are distinguished by the simplicity of the lock design, which allows them to be opened using improvised means.
Second way
Also for relatively old used cars we can recommend simplest way opening the door with a small wire. It is necessary to bend it in the form of a small hook, which has a radius of about 2 centimeters. Insert the wire between the glass and the seal about door handle and gently grope for the door pull. It is behind the door pull that the open button will be located. door lock. It is necessary to pull the wire until a click appears, after which the door will open.
Third way
In the event that it is not possible to open the door with a wire, then you can try to bend the top of the door, for which a wooden or plastic wedge is used. It is necessary to act here as carefully as possible in order to exclude damage to the metal and the door itself by such a force. As soon as you bend the upper corner of the door, it will be possible to expand the opening, make a small hook from the wire and bring the wire into the cabin through the hole obtained, trying to reach the located inner handle doors.
You may need an assistant to watch from the opposite side of the right move wire, guiding your actions. As soon as the hook catches the door opening lever, all that remains is to pull the wire towards you, after which the door will open. If the car has power windows, then you can also try to put pressure on the power window switches with such a wire brought into the passenger compartment.
Fourth way
In the event that it is not possible to open the car, but you still need to urgently go on business, then the only possible way is to break the glass. You can use a pry bar, a metal pipe, or a hammer. It's best to break the rear side glass right door, after which, in order not to cut yourself, you should carefully remove the remnants of the glass, stick your hand inside the cabin and open the door.
Remember that if at the same time as the door key you also lost the ignition key, you will have to work hard to start your car. Doing it yourself is much more difficult than getting inside the car, so you still have to contact the appropriate specialists.
We turn to professional craftsmen

Of course, if you are not far from home and you have spare keys, you can go for them. But what if there are simply no duplicates or the opportunity to pick them up?

What to do if the car doors are locked, and the key is either in the car itself or in the trunk, and the spare is far away? How to open a car door if the lock is stuck? Quite a lot of people find themselves in a similar situation, and most often at the most inopportune moment for this. But can the moment in such a situation be appropriate? It is because of this that even in the case of an available spare kit, it will never be superfluous to know how to open the car without a key in hand.
Clearly, this applies only to those who find themselves in an unexpected situation, and not to burglars of car locks. They are already able to break the lock, from which you can only protect yourself with an alarm. Since the car is your property, you, of course, are not afraid of the alarm - you have one main task, namely to open the door without much loss of money and time. Do not panic, the car door is very easy to open even without a key.
So how to open the door if the lock is jammed? From the very beginning, you should stop panicking and rush from one extreme to another - do not break the glass, leave it as a last resort. Initially, try or analyze several ways in which you can minimize the risks, and choose the appropriate one.
Method 1. Additional set of keys
If you have a second set of keys, you can simply open the door by calling or asking someone to bring it. This method is suitable for those who have a car close to the second set of keys. Don't leave your car with the keys inside unattended, as thieves know many ways to open the car, and your car will also have keys as a gift. Intruders can be anywhere, and especially in parking spaces and parking lots. If there is no one to bring you an extra set of keys, it is worth asking the guards of the parking lot to watch the car while you carry the second set of keys. This method is the simplest, free and fastest, but not always applicable for certain reasons.
2nd way. We take out the seal
On the driver's door or another door, you can gently pry off the rubber glass seal near the lock. A small screwdriver or other small object may be suitable for this. Next, you need to pull out the glass seal - only 3-4 cm is enough. The opening tool can be a hard wire, a knitting needle or other thin sharp objects. The end of the wire must be bent with a hook at an angle of 45 degrees.
Insert the wire vertically into the hole between the door and the glass with the hook down. After this object hits the lock, you should bypass the lock and find a mechanism to open it. After finding it, it is worth shifting the hook to the left and then turning it to the right. Then feel for the locking mechanism of the lock and, when hooked on the mechanism rod, open the lock.
What if this method fails? How to open a car door if the lock is stuck? There is also another version of this method.
The end of the wire can be bent in the form of a hook with a radius of about 1-2 cm. Between the seal and the glass near the door handle, it is also worth placing the wire vertically. Sometimes it may be necessary to pull out the seals near the glass from the edge. Then you need to grope and hook the door rod where the door lock is located. And then pull the rod up with a wire until it clicks.
It can also help if you press with your hands and lower the side window a little down at least 1 cm. It is worth trying to do this with all the glasses. If this works out, you are very lucky. Then you should bend the hook out of the wire and get the door lock button through the opening in the lowered glass. It is worth a little patience and try to hook the button. If it works, you can open the door.
3rd way. Removing the lock from the window
car domestic production or old foreign car can be opened using the following method. You can pull out the seal and open the door or remove the lock from the window. This is especially easy to do if domestic car VAZ-2110 jammed the lock. After that, it will not be difficult to open the doors, and then put the window back with the help of simple devices or contact a car service.
If you are aware that your lock is very badly broken, which is very often the case with old cars, you can open it with a similar key. Basically, the locks are broken on the driver's side - it's worth trying to open it. Just do not overdo it and make great efforts. Can run into complete replacement castle.
4th way. Use a loop of rope or fishing line
How to open the door if the lock is jammed? You can open the door lock with a rope loop. This attachment is suitable for vehicles where the inner door close button protrudes slightly upwards. It is also worth saying that there are cases when you have to slightly bend the corner of the car door using certain tools.
In the middle of a thin rope, you need to tie a loop the size of an internal lock button. Let's also say that in rare cases, you can tuck the rope in and later make a loop. Instead of a rope, you can take fishing line, since it is much thinner than a rope and can easily crawl through a narrow door gap. It is worth taking the cord by the opposite ends with your hands and pulling it. We start the twine through the upper corner of the door and make movements to the right and left. We pull both ends of the cord up, and the lock button opens the lock. It is necessary to be extremely careful when performing this method.
5th way. Installing a new battery
This method keyless car door opener is used when the battery is low or there is no power in the car, which makes it impossible to open the car door thanks to the central locking. Also in cases where the locks do not work or are frozen.
So how do you open a jammed front door lock? It is necessary to get close to the hood lock cable, which most often goes from the hood lock to the left wing, and then to the car interior. Then we hook the cable with a wire near the left headlight or radiator and pull it with a sharp movement. Near the car, you need to put the battery in advance. Then we connect the battery and use the key to open the car.
6th way. We call a specialist
Many users are wondering: how to open the door of a jammed lock ("Skoda Octavia" or another car - it doesn't matter)? Great option will call a specialist. This method is not the cheapest and sometimes may not be suitable due to the lack of such a service nearby. Here everything becomes clear, but not always everything goes without difficulties. Specialists are different. It is worth using the services of only experienced professionals from trusted companies.
7th way. Broken glass or broken lock
This method is the most radical. If you still don’t know how to open a jammed car door lock, or none of the methods work, then there are only two options left - break the lock or break the glass. Both ways are not pleasant.
If you decide to break the lock, then drive a thin metal screwdriver into it and turn it. In this case, the lock will immediately break. If you have a drill and electricity, this can be done much more accurately. Just drill out the lock. But this method will require replacing each larva, or you will have different keys.
When breaking glass, it is worth finding out which glass in the car is the cheapest. Before breaking glass, you should carefully prepare. Minimize glass scatter after you break it. To do this, it is recommended to glue the glass with adhesive tape. Do not seal the place where the blow is aimed. It is best to break glass with a heavy hammer.
Several ways to secure from such situations
In order not to wonder how to open the door if the lock is jammed, you should listen to a few tips:
- you can make a copy of the key, but without a chip, and always carry it with you. Even if you lose it, the car can be opened but not started;
- you can also disconnect the key fob from the alarm;
- it is necessary to disable the option of locking the central lock, in bad weather the car can cause some trouble;
- if you leave the car with running engine, do not close driver's door or cover it up to the first click;
- you can also constantly check the serviceability of the door switches that signal open door, and do not forget to write down in the phone a few numbers of companies that specialize in unlocking cars;
- when purchasing a new car with one set of keys, if it was not possible to make a duplicate of it, you just need to outline the key on paper and write down the thickness. Later, you can make a temporary key yourself, for example from aluminum.
It should be understood that not every method may be suitable for certain models of machines. For example, most modern cars endowed with special metal or plastic casings that protect the lock mechanism from hooks and rulers. Also, certain models are endowed with smooth internal buttons that taper towards the top. When deciding to bend the top of the door, you should be very careful, as this can damage the paint or greatly deform the door. So the question of how to open the door if the lock is jammed should be approached very carefully and deliberately.
There are many situations in which it is impossible to use the key to open the car. For example, it can be lost, forgotten somewhere, left inside the cabin, etc. However, you should not panic in this situation - you can open the car without using the key.
Method number 1
The glass has a rubber seal. It must be carefully pry from the side where the lock is located on the door. This can be done with a screwdriver or even a nail file. Next, the seal is pulled out.
Then you should take the wire and roll it into a hook. The hook is wound into the opening, which turned out between the glass and the door. When it hits the lock, you need to feel for the opening mechanism. Move the hook to the left. When it "fails", wind the hook to the right. Next, you will find the mechanism. You need to cling to his traction and open the lock.
Method number 2
It is necessary to bend the top corner of the door. To do this, a wooden wedge must be carefully hammered between it and the rack. To help yourself, you can also use a screwdriver or a small pry bar. In this case, a piece of cloth should be placed under the instrument. Otherwise, you may scratch paintwork auto.
After a gap is formed, use a wire hook. Hook on the lever with which the door opens from the inside of the cabin. You need to pull it - then the door will open.
Method number 3
This is a rather radical method. It is necessary to take a hammer or mount and break the side glass. Then you need to remove the remaining glass. Just in case, wrap your hand in a rag. Slip it into the cabin and open the lock.
Method number 4
If you do not want to waste time and spoil the car, it is better to order a professional opening of the lock. Specialized services perform this procedure in a few minutes. In this case, no part of the machine is damaged. All you need is to have documents confirming that you are the owner of the car.
