keys locked in the car, how to get it out?

[240meowth]

just for future referance, wha can i do to get the key outta my car in a 93 coupe 240?

[ca18guy]

Take a coat hanger stretch it out, and push it down in there til you find the lever that unlocks the door. Pull up on it and it should unlock. Takes practice kinda hard to describe.

do i make it kinda J shaped? then go down and hook it  UP? where do i go down on?  please respond quick, 'cause i'm still waiting for the lock smith, maybe i don' t need him

[ca18guy]

Watch what the locksmith doe's and you'll see. He should have a piece of metal called a slimjim that he will slide down the window and "hook" the lock. So use the hook on the hanger and try. I would let the locksmith handle it now, since he's on the way and it's not for certain that you will be able to do it. (some cars are easy to open some hard)

but 58 bucks!!! thats plenty of money man, so tell me how u'd do it =P

locks on the 240 dont slide up and down they slide side to side, if you have one , grab a long metal ruler, like a yard stick, and just gently slide it down until you feel it stop against the lock.. then feel around towards the back of the door until ou feel the locking mechanism, and then just try and slide it forward until the door unlocks.... i did the same thing once myself!!

i have sprint PCS roadside coverage for an extra $2.99 a month which lets me get my car towed for free, dead batteries start, etc...one time i locked my keys in the car and called sprint they got a tow truck to me in 30min and the guy unlocked it and just left.

call the police they have jimmys in there car
and you can also buy them at stores like autozone its a complet set to unlock doors it only like $30

S13 are extremly easy to break into. But in the intrest of keeping my stereo in my car I am not going to post a whole bunch of them here!! LOL I can usually get into a S13 without a key in under 30 seconds. E-mail me at [email protected] and I'll give you a few... LOL

now i can also get in to a s13 buy grabing the seam of the window and put it out but you risk breaking the window
and you can do it buy prying the bottem of tyhe handel casing and there is the rood that conects to the handel but bolth of thos way r risky on breaking something

As for the slim jim or ruler method use a wedge shaped object like a door stop to wedge between the window and door frame this will give you lots more room to work with and makes the job alot easier.

i keep a spare key in my wallet, locked my keys int he car twice and it's no big deal at all

Me too. I started doing that after I locked my keys in my truck the first time.

I used to lock my keys in the car all the time ... just a dumbass i guess :-P neway THANK GOD FOR AAA lol i have free locksmith come out and unlock mine although i havn't done it in my 240 yet i used to lock them in my SE-R all the time and that bastard locksmith would always scratch my tint up unlocking the #### thing but i guess i can't complain. :-/

[misnomer]

I would just grab the key I have hidden in one of dem magnetic thingies on my car somewhere. . .

[vancouvers14]

just buy remote locks.  that way, you cant lock the keys inside unless you do it manually.
