I locked my keys in my car, I'm at walmart. Anything I can do other than call a locksmith?

Heard you can jimmy the lock with pretty much any slim object. Push it down in between the window molding and the door and go to work on it! Never tried myself but heard it's easy!"Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."

Where on the door?Previous owner of ZEFstivaComment

Well, on mine anyways, any key will unlock the drivers door. Hell, even a screwdriver or something will. Any chance you left your hatch unlocked?The normal is not always normal... MOST is not ALL... And any job can be hard if you don't have the right tools!!!

Coat hanger(metal) with a "U" or "V" shape at the end.
Push it down between the out side weather strip and glass near the gray plastics manual lock engagement.
The bottom of the plastic piece is flat.
Use the "U" or "V" piece of the coat hanger to push up the lock.

I once folded a paper clip to a long "U" and slid that in the door lock and used a flat screwdriver to turn the lock, it worked just as fast as a key

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?Comment

What would MacGiver do? Hint... always carry a spare key in your wallet. Once lock my keys in my car on a cold morning....motor running.If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

It's double frustrating/embarrassing to get locked out of a festiva. Passersby will be like "when i was in football me and the o-line coulda carried it home for you," etc.1993 GL 5 speed
