Locksmith unavailable- keys stuck in car?



Amanda asked:

After the week I have had this only makes it SO much better.

I locked my keys in my car along with my purse and cell phone. The locksmith is unavailable- is there a way I can get them out myself without doing smashing a window.

Dont ask about the spare- that is lost.

It has automatic locks- its a mustang.

Get a coat hanger and a male friend. Your male friend should be able to pull the door away from the frame of the car just enough that you can slip that puppy in there past the rubber insulation (I say male because they have stronger hands than females and they can generally get a bit of a grip on the edge of the door and pull on it just enough to get a gap big enough for a coat hanger). Then good luck. Make a hook at the end of your coat hanger and see if you can’t manage to wiggle it around until you can get that button or latch.

You might be able to get a tool called a slim jim from an auto parts store, but you might do more damage to your car than it’s worth. Perhaps the guy at the auto parts store is familiar with the lock mechanism and can open it without damaging it.

Do you have a friend with AAA? That would be my advice. Then get a membership for yourself.

Good luck. Hope your weekend improves.

You may want to try calling your city/municipal police or county sheriff. They may be able to send someone out with a slim-jim to pop the lock. If that doesn’t work, there’s a slight chance that someone from your local Ford dealership can get a master key and unlock your car. They’d need to know the year, make, model, and vehicle identification number (VIN) of your car in order to do it, and your VIN should appear on a stamped plate somewhere along the bottom of your windshield.

P.S.: I would not advise trying to get in with a coat hanger or trying to jimmy the lock yourself — you would probably do more harm than good if you did.

Good luck! (and hope your week gets better) ;-)
