First, make sure you’re actually lock out. This may sound silly, but you surprise how many times I’ve arrived to unlock a customer’s car… just to find out one of the car doors was unlock.
Use a Coat Hanger
Use a Coat Hanger
A coat hanger is one of the most classic tools to use in unlocking a car door. It’s thin, long, and bendable, so it can easily fit into any small gap. The first thing you need to do is to straighten the hanger, but leave the hooked part as it is. You can use a pair of pliers to help you get the job done faster.
The next part is a little complicated. You have to pry the window open slightly so you can slip the straightened hanger into the tiny opening. Finally, use the hooked part to pull the locking pin and unlock the car door.
