Re: Keys Locked Inside Help Asap

Auto lock? My '03 doesn't seem to have that.

Anyway, do you have a slim-jim? That's the easiest way, not to mention safest - which is what the locksmith will use. Barring that....not really. Sorry man, you're either calling a locksmith (recommended) or breaking a window (not recommended).

Any of you shady members out there have some tricks?

Re: Keys Locked Inside Help Asap

Dood... I thought the autolock only worked as a RE-lock. Like... if you don't open a door within 30 seconds it locks it again. So... umm... unless you got some sort of aftermarket thing then... umm... sorry to hear about your problems.

maybe it's aftermarket. At work (shop) we use wedges and coat hangers. Carefully put the wedge between the door and the frame starting from the top corner. You can get enough space between the door and the body to slip a coat hanger in and pop the power locks.

Re: Keys Locked Inside Help Asap

lol that sucks,

Get your self somthing like a couple of books if matches place them about 3inches before and after the plunger ( the lock you push down when you lock it ) then get a coat hanger bend it into a j use a pair of pliers cause u want the bend at the bottom small. Then place the coat hanger in between your two match books guide it down were the plunger is give it a slight turn and lift up gently. just keep working it around the lock in 5min you should be able to find the plunger and unlock your car.

I'm not shady lol locks just keep honest people honest.

o ya if you don't know how to use a slime jim and break the conector it will cost you more then calling the locksmith.

They will use an under the window tool they look like a big wire j. Civics are too easy to bust the connecting rod , I was a locksmith till recently got tired of people whining about the price for opening the car's and house's.

Re: Keys Locked Inside Help Asap

if you take a coat hanger make it into a U shape with a lip hanging off at the end. you can slide it right under the window and pull up the lock too easy took me 2 minutes max
