this video you learned how to open
locked cars in three methods one going
beneath the window two using a chord
with the Slipknot three going around the
dollar Jam no one is immune to
accidentally locking his or her keys in
the car waiting for locksmiths can take
time and a fee for such a simple
procedure usually isn't cheap for many
different types of vehicles you may be
able to get back into your car within
just a few minutes with the simple
household items such as a wire hanger or
a long shoelace method one going beneath
the window
step one straighten a wire hanger this
method will work best for vehicles with
the vertical manual lock meaning a lot
that you pull up to unlock or push down
to lock these locks are usually at the
top of the door panel just inside the
window this method requires a thin but
rigid tool that you can feed between the
weather stripping around the bottom of
the window and the glass itself a wire
coat hanger works well but you must
straighten at first a universal unlock -
lura slim-jim also work in this case if
you're prone to locking your keys in
your car and want to keep one around for
future occurrences step 2 bend a hook
into one end of the hanger though the
hanger mostly needs to be straight you
will need to keep a hook bent into one
end this hook will need to catch on the
lever of the locking mechanism inside
the car door the hook should be roughly
two or three inches long step 3 feed the
hanger down between the window and the
weatherstripping
in order to reach the locking mechanism
lever in the door you must feed the hook
end of the hanger into the small space
between the bottom of the window and the
weather stripping to help seal and
cushion the window in the door you will
need to feed the hanger down several
inches and you will feel when the end of
the hook slips down past the window step
4 turn the hanger to point the hook
toward the inside of the car the
mechanism lever will run parallel to the
car door so you'll need to turn the
hanger close to 90 degrees to make sure
the hook faces perpendicular to the
lever and can catch at concoction--
Step five fish the hook around to find
the lever this part is not an exact
science and depends on the specific car
you will have to fish the hook around
inside the workings of the door to find
the lever the lever will likely be
slightly behind the actual log placement
so use the hanger within a few inches of
the manual lock tab instead of directly
next to it you will see the manual lock
lever shake and jiggle man you make
contact with the lever R and so keep
fishing around until you see it start to
move hard to move step 6
lift up on the lever arm once you feel
that the hook and the hanger is around
the lever arm and you see the manual
lock moving then you simply need to
jiggle and lift up on the hook to finish
unlocking the door since the lever arm
is stronger than the hanger it may bend
your hook out of place pull the hanger
out reshape the hook and reinsert to at
the same spot it may take several tries
but as long as you see the manual lock
jiggling then you know you're in the
right spot step 7 call a locksmith if
you cannot seem to get any leverage by
going beneath the window you can always
try one of the other methods or you can
simply call a locksmith with the
professional assortment of tools a
locksmith will have available they'll
have you back in your car within minutes
minutes method 2 using a cord with the
slip knot get a long piece of paracord
or a long shoelace this method is also
meant for vehicles with vertical manual
locks that are just inside the window
and which you must pull up in order to
unlock the vehicle start by getting
along then piece of paracord or even a
long shoelace if you use a shoelace then
it will likely have to come off a pair
of boots because it will need to be at
least approximately 3 feet in length
depending on your car doors step 2 tie a
slip knot in the center of the cord for
this method you will work the cord
inside the vehicle and tighten the slip
knot over the manual lock to pull it up
so you will need to make the slip knot
in the cord before feeding it into the
vehicle if you do not know how to tie a
slip knot visit how to make a slip knot
to learn how you want to leave roughly
two to three inches in the slip knot
in order to make it easier for the loop
to fit over the lunk before you tighten
it take the net step 3
feed the cord into the dollar jam start
at the top corner of the door and pull
out it to make a bit of space between
the door and a rubber seal and then push
the Slipknot portion of the cord between
the door and the frame step 4
worked the cord down into the vehicle
you will probably find it easiest to get
the Slipknot down to the lock by using a
sort of sighing motion to work the core
down tease one end of the cord down
toward where the door handle and tease
the other end of the cord toward the
side mirror and then work them back and
forth to pull the knot lower you may
need to use something with a little bit
of a wedge to it such as a doorstop to
hold the corner while you push the cord
between the door and the frame make sure
you only actually pull on one end of the
cord at a time if you pull on both
you'll just tighten the knot prematurely
step 5 position the Slipknot loop over
the manual lock after you've worked the
cord down far enough you will need to
position it above the lock end with a
loop facing the correct direction since
the door will force the cord slightly
deeper into the car than the position of
the lock you can twist the cord once
it's above the lock to swing the loop
over it step 6
pull the Slipknot tight on the lock once
you have the Slipknot in place over the
manual lock you can tighten the Slipknot
pull both ends of the cord to tighten
the knot but make sure to pull slowly so
that the loop doesn't redirect off the
lock as it tightens the Titans step 7
unlock the door once you have the knot
nice and tight over the lock you can
simply pull up on the cord to pull the
lock up and unlock the door
this is especially easy for vehicles
with manual locks that have a concave
shape if your lock has a smoother shape
you will have to pull up at an angle
rather than directly up in order to keep
the knot from slipping off the lock step
8
call it locksmith if you cannot seem to
get the cord past the door jamb and none
of the other methods will work for your
vehicle you can always call it locksmith
Smith method 3 going around the door
jamb step 1 straighten a wire hanger
since this method involves extending the
hanger into the actual vehicle it tends
to work better for vehicles with power
door locks or a locked up automatically
unlocks when you pull the interior door
handle you will need a long rich a tool
that won't bend under a bit of tension
in order to reach an end either press
the unlock button or pull the door
handle the most common household tool
will likely be a wire hanger after you
straighten it a rib from an umbrella or
a long wire from the wire basket will
work as well you can also buy a specific
tool kit for this method online which
consists of an inflatable bag a wedge
and a rigid tool if you are prone to
locking your keys in your car it could
prove to be a good investment step 2
snip off the twisted section at each end
use a pair of wire cutters to snip off
the twisted section at either end where
the hanger came together this section is
typically too difficult to straighten
completely and is hard to slip into the
door jamb cut as close to the base of
the twisted section as possible in order
to retain as much lengthen the wire as
you can step 3 shape the wire hanger
make a small hook with the end of the
wire hanger if you will be opening the
inside door handle itself make a small
circle if you will be opening a vertical
lock or pressing an unlock button make
sure that the hook is large enough to
grasp the handle and that the circle can
just barely fit over the button so that
it snags when you pull it up step 4 pry
open the car door slightly you need to
get something into the car door jamb
just enough to give yourself some
leverage 16 you can use an inflatable
pump wedge which is a small inflatable
bag that safely creates an opening in
your car door or window if you do not
have access to an inflatable bag you can
use any sort of tapered rubber material
two or three door stops will also work
well if you insert them a bit at a time
to get a good wedge use rubber to
prevent scratching your car's paint make
sure to pry onto the weather stripping
and only pry enough to insert the wire
through leave the object you inserted in
the door jamb as you complete the next
step step step 5 work the wedge in
deeper
once you have something with a bit of
leverage behind the door you need to pry
a bit more to open the space wider even
if you used an inflatable pump wedge you
should still have one or two actual
rubber wedges or even wouldn't once with
plastic guards you will have to work
these ledges deeper into the jamb until
you have enough space to insert your
wire hanger wire hanger step 6 insert
the wire to the gap if you are trying to
open the door handle
you should insert the wire horizontally
through the side of the door if you are
trying to unlock a vertical button you
should insert the wire downward
vertically from above the door if this
proves too difficult on the driver's
side door you can always try the
passenger side as well since most modern
vehicles with power door locks will have
a control on the passenger side as well
be careful not to scratch the paint on
your car as you complete this step step
7 use the hook to grab the door handle
if opening the handle itself direct the
wire on to the door handle and grab on
to the handle with the hook you bent
into the wire the hook will usually be
pointing down and slightly toward the
inside of the car in order to achieve
the best angle
Stangl step 8 use the circle to press
the unlock button if pushing a button or
pulling up on a vertical lock direct the
wire from the top of the window toward
the button and performed a necessary
action for a button simply press down
with the end of the wire until the door
is unlocked for a vertical lock push the
loop you created in the end of your wire
down over the lock and pull up and tell
the car unlocks it is important that the
loop is just barely wide enough to slide
over the top of the vertical lock so
that you can pull it back up step 9 open
your newly unlocked car door and hit the
road road step 10
call a locksmith if the door to your
vehicle proves too difficult to pry open
to get the hanger inside with enough
room to maneuver it then you may simply
need to call a locksmith they will have
professional tools to get you back
inside your vehicle in no time time
