Often ridiculous situations happen in life. As if on purpose or by order, they happen unexpectedly and at the most inopportune moment. Sometimes it happens that due to natural absent-mindedness, inattention or in a hurry, the owner of the car forgets the keys in the car. In addition, the key can be lost, broken, or stolen. As a rule, the house has a spare set of keys or even several.
But what to do if the owner of the car is far from his home or there is simply no spare kit? And, as luck would have it, you have to rush somewhere: to work, to pick up the children from kindergarten, to the hospital... You never know what urgent matters may arise at this exceptional moment!
I forgot the key in the car, what should I do?
Surely, a similar situation has happened to you or someone you know, when the car was locked and the key remained inside.
We all remember that we need to carefully monitor our keys and not leave them anywhere, but no one is immune from such an unpleasant accident. And in this case, it is necessary to urgently open the car. Here are some examples:
- You left the store, loaded your purchases into the trunk, slammed it shut and realized that the key was left in the trunk of the car.
- Or the key may fall out of the pocket when the driver gets up from behind the wheel. As a result, the door is slammed and the key is in the car.
- It’s also a fairly common situation when a car has a flat tire on the highway, you leave the key on the seat, are repairing the wheel, and at this time the automatic door lock is activated. The key is locked in the car, and you are outside.
What to do in such situations?
First of all, a lot depends on the make and model of the car, whether the car is started or turned off, as well as on other features of your car.
Let's consider several cases:
Case 1. If the engine is running and the car has power windows.
This is the best option for you. You need to get to the power window button and lower the window so that you can easily get the keys through the window. You will need a flat and hard object, such as a thin board, a wide screwdriver or a chisel. In addition, you need a rigid rod of small diameter or thick wire, electrical tape or tape. The task is to bend the door and use a rod to press the window lifter button. In order not to damage the paint, apply several layers of adhesive tape or electrical tape to the places where you will work with the tool. The easiest way for the door to give in is in the upper corner near the center pillar of the car (1 in the picture)
Proceed with caution and don't overdo it. After you have bent the door to the minimum required distance, insert a wire or rod inside (you can also pre-wrap it with electrical tape so as not to scratch the interior) and try to press the window button and lower the window
This method is also suitable if the car is not started, but the windows work even with the engine turned off.
TIP FOR THE FUTURE: If you leave the car without keys, try to leave the windows slightly open. This will avoid unnecessary complications and make it possible to quickly and safely remove the keys from a locked car in case of unexpected lock operation.
Case 2. The car is not started, but the doors are opened by lifting the locking latch in the corner.
In this case, a thread, fishing line or thin wire is needed. We make a loop out of them, first we bend the door in the same way as in the first case, and then we put the loop on the latch (2 on the handle) and pull it gently upward - the loop is tightened and the latch opens.
If the lock button is located near the door handle on the door “map” - again, if the design allows you to open the door by pressing this button and pulling the handle - we proceed in exactly the same way as in the case of the window regulator (point 1), but instead of the window regulator with a wire or using a rod we try to open the door lock (3 in the figure), and then hook and pull the handle (4 in the figure).
There are cars that cannot be opened with a handle from the inside at all if the locks are blocked by an alarm. In this case, it is necessary to use special tools to open the car lock. But this is a job for specialists; nothing can be done here on your own.

Alternative Methods
How to open the door if you forgot the key
It’s worth considering a few more options for how you can get into the car if for some reason the keys are left inside and you are outside.
Both barbaric and delicate ways to solve the current problem are presented here. Which one to use is up to the car owner to decide. But in any case you need to know about them.
We lower the glass. Since the side windows are equipped with manual or electric windows, you can try to lower them manually. To do this, your hands must be dry. Wipe them and press tightly to the glass. Next, start pressing down with your palms and fingers, trying to use this clutch to lower the window at least a little. On many machines this actually works. Sometimes it is enough to create a gap of a few millimeters to insert the wire with the hook inside. Next, all that remains is to cling to the door handle, window regulator, or even try to pull out the key itself. After all, it is possible that you did not leave it in the ignition switch, but simply threw it on the seat. Luggage compartment. Several circumstances should play in your favor here. The car has a suitable body, in which the trunk and interior are not separated. Here we are talking about different minivans, sedans, hatchbacks and station wagons. That is, this method is unlikely to suit sedans. Although in the latter case there is usually a special button that lowers the rear seat through the luggage compartment. If there is no button, there must be a special cord or holding loops. Plus the trunk should remain open. Then there is nothing complicated. You need to open the trunk and crawl through it into the car. If your size does not allow you to do this, ask for help from a person of more modest build. Drill. Although in the vast majority of cases it is better to refuse this option, sometimes it becomes no alternative. Take a drill and drill out a lock or lock
It is important to understand here that after using an electric drill, you will have to completely change the locks on all the doors, otherwise you will not be able to use one key. Don't take risks and don't create unnecessary problems for yourself.
Use the safest methods. And only as a last resort, pick up an electric drill.
The problem of locked car doors is not at all uncommon. It’s not at all difficult to forget the keys in the car and slam the car. This is clearly confirmed by statistics and communication with experienced motorists.
There are several really effective methods for gaining access to a locked interior. Start with the safest and simplest ones. If that doesn't work, resort to more drastic measures. Residents of large cities should look for an option involving qualified specialists. Moreover, call them not through private advertisements, but call officially registered companies that specialize in such issues.
Drilling the lock and breaking glass is considered extreme measures. Don't rush to break your car. Yes, you will open the doors, and the key will return to you. But eliminating the consequences of some actions is extremely expensive.
Test drives Lada Priora
The “Priora” family now has a complete set, in addition to the available model variants with “sedan” and “hatchback” bodies, a station wagon has been added. Moreover, changes occurred not only with the car body.
The AvtoVAZ company presented the next version of the Lada Priora. The two main innovations are the hatchback body and the luxury package, which has such useful functions as climate control, parking sensors, an additional airbag for the passenger, ABS...
The flagship VAZ model represents a further development of cars of the “tenth” family. Undoubtedly, “Priora” differs from them in many ways. However, despite all the innovations, the debutante does not yet reach the level of its foreign competitors.
Break the side window to get into the car interior
How to install a Door Closer on a wooden or metal door or gate with your own hands Step-by-step instructions Video
There is another way to get into the car interior when the doors are blocked - breaking the door glass. Before breaking a window on a foreign car, you need to prepare a replacement part in advance. Car owners often break glass and then cannot find it:
- the spare part is expensive;
- The part is supplied only to order, and you have to wait more than one day for it.
You shouldn’t just hit a window with a brick; you need to take into account some points:
- a brick or other heavy object should be wrapped in a rag to avoid injury;
- you need to hit it carefully, as the side glass shatters into small fragments, and with a strong impact they fly far to the sides;
- You should not break the rear windows - they are often more expensive than the front side windows, and besides, it is problematic to get into the car interior through them.
In some cases, breaking glass is cheaper and easier, especially on cars with serious protection against entry into the car. For example, replacing all door locks can cost more than 15-20 thousand rubles; a non-original front glass on a budget foreign car costs on average about 2 thousand rubles.
Additional rear door locking
The rear door lock can be locked by pushing down the lock button on both the open and closed doors. At the ends of the rear doors (near the locks) there are latches for additional locking, which can be used when traveling with children or in other cases to prevent the doors from opening from the inside. For additional rear door locking...
...push the latch down and close the door. In this case, the rear door can only be opened from the outside when the lock button is raised.
How to open a Lada Priora
How to open a VAZ if the battery is dead
It's very annoying when you lose your car keys or lock the door with the keys inside. In most cases, this happens due to absent-mindedness or inattention.
Unfortunately, no one is immune from such situations, including Priora owners. For this reason, it will be useful for absolutely every car owner to know the methods that will come to the rescue if the Priora is closed and needs to act quickly.
Let's consider below how to open a Priora if the keys are inside quickly and easily, using the simplest devices.
How to open a Priora without a key?
If it is not possible to use a spare set of keys, you can open the doors with ordinary wire; it is best that it is sufficiently rigid, but not thick.
How to open a Priora door with regular wire? Very simple!
To do this, you need to lower the glass a little with your hands and insert the wire at the level of the handle between the glass and the sealant layer. Make sure the hook is pointing backwards. Pass it between the handle and the cylinder, and then push it until it rests against the rod. After this, pick up the dog and lift it, opening the door.
How to open a Priora if the keys are inside?
Another option for opening the Priora is a little more complicated than the previous one, but it will definitely help you if you were unable to lower the window by hand.
You need to arm yourself with screwdrivers, wooden wedges about twenty centimeters long, wire, a hammer and strong tape. Insert wedges between the top of the door and the body, and carefully drive them in with a hammer. If you are afraid of the paint, then wrap them with a rag. And to prevent
damage to the paintwork near the wedges, cover all vulnerable areas with tape or tape. Then you need to insert a wire into the slot and use it to reach the central locking button or door handle. By pulling the handle with a hook, you can easily get inside the car.
Important: There is an even simpler method, which is to contact a lock opening company in force majeure situations. Our technicians will quickly respond to your call and open your Priora for a minimal fee.
If you decide to call locksmiths, be sure to think about how you can prove to them that the car belongs to you.
Until specialists see documents confirming ownership, no one will open your car. If you simply do not have the opportunity to provide such documents, you can call the local police officer.
How to open a Priora door without a key?
If you don’t know how to open a Priora door without a key, then you will definitely need the method described below:
- First of all, you need to prepare two kitchen spatulas made of wood or plastic, a piece of durable cardboard and a long stiff wire.
- Then you need to place the spatula between the top of the door and the counter, and place the second spatula a little lower.
- Then you should carefully wedge the door using shovels so that a gap appears. You don’t have to worry about the paintwork, since blades made of wood or plastic are not capable of damaging it.
- Fold the cardboard into several pieces and insert it into the slot.
- Insert a strong steel wire with a loop at the end inside the cabin.
- Reach the power window button and pull it.
Now you know how to open a Priora door without damage and spending a minimum of time on it.
Knowing how to open a car, you will never find yourself in an awkward situation and will be able to independently resolve any cases with a closed door and no keys, and the methods described above will be a good help in this.
Option number 2. We use wire and rope
This option, of course, is free, but requires a certain skill that action heroes demonstrate. There are several ways to open the door yourself:
- With wire hook. It is important that the rigidity of the wire is medium and the length is about 70 cm. It must be bent so that the 7-centimeter hook comes out at an angle of 45 degrees. The wire must penetrate freely into the space between the seal and the glass. Insert the “tool” into the indicated location and connect it to the open button. Tighten until the pushrod is raised. Working hours. About 15 minutes.
- Rope loop. This method is only suitable if the inside button on the car protrudes above the door panel. So first you need to bend the corner of the door. Install the rope, attach it to the button and pull. Maximum concentration and dexterity required.
What to do if the alarm locks the car with the keys inside
Attentiveness is one of the best qualities of a motorist. Pay attention everywhere: on the road, in the parking lot and, of course, with your car. Moreover, this complex technical tool can present surprises without any particular reason.
In this article we will talk about one of these surprises, the situation when the car is locked with the keys inside.
Causes and prevention
Most often, the cause of such an incident is the carelessness of the car owner. For example, having closed all the doors, a car enthusiast opens the trunk and then closes it, leaving the keys inside. Therefore, do not leave your car keys out of sight, and if you are going out, turn off the engine and put the keys in your pocket.
To avoid being deceived by the security system if the keys are left in the car, leave one door ajar or roll down one of the window panes. The last option, however, is also not a panacea, since many modern alarm systems have so-called “window closers”. That is, by suddenly switching to emergency mode, the alarm can close all windows on its own. Actually, a malfunction of the security system is another possible cause of trouble. Such a problem can only be prevented through regular diagnostics in the service.
Monitor the battery level in the alarm key fob; most modern models have an indicator. Timely replacement of the battery will allow you not to disrupt the connection between the alarm key fob and the system itself, as well as avoid another problem - the inability to unlock the car or turn off the siren of a triggered alarm.
Priority methods for solving the problem
Most owners have a second, or even a third, set of keys stored at home. And each emergency security system comes with a second key fob. Remember where you keep your spare kit or keychain, and perhaps the problem will be solved quite quickly.
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to force the alarm system to open the car using available technical means. Only car service specialists can do this, and even then not everyone. There are two options: call a tow truck and transport the car to a service center, or call a specialist to the site of the breakdown.
If the car is left running, the problem with access to the ignition key should be resolved more quickly. After all, sooner or later the gasoline will run out, and the gas pump may “swallow” air instead of gasoline. And this, most likely, will lead to breakdown of the fuel pump and significant expenses for its replacement.
Emergency methods to solve the problem
The last resort is the undesirable method of opening the car. Undesirable because it is almost impossible to carry out this procedure without damaging at least the paintwork. However, if the alarm system fails you in the wilderness and there is nowhere to wait for help, you will have to take such measures.
The idea is simple: bend the glass or window frame of the door and open the car from the inside. To do this, either lift the flag, or pull the handle, or press the button - depending on the specific car model. As a rule, after an hour or two of manipulation with wire or thin sticks, success is achieved.
An even more radical method is breaking glass. At first glance, this approach seems barbaric, but sometimes calling a specialist or delivering the car to a service center on a tow truck can cost much more than glass, even with the work to replace it. As a sacrifice, it is best to choose a small window, if available. Before doing this, be sure to make sure that the distance from the window to the treasured button or lock will allow you to reach it.

How to open a car if the key is inside
No one is immune from anything, so you can make fun of the topic of sclerosis as much as you like, but at one fine moment everyone can find themselves in the place of the poor fellow whose keys were left in the ignition or in his jacket, and the door slammed shut. If this is not an open-top car, the main thing is to concentrate the energy of Tzu, remember everything we know about Buddhism and the frailty of existence. After which, having already calmed down and warned everyone where we were already late, we begin to consider options for solving the problem.
Frankly speaking, there are no ideal algorithms for hacking your own car. Each of the options that we will offer has been tested, cursed or praised by potential automotive sclerotics. Each of these options, in one form or another, has existed for as long as car locks have existed, and it’s better to ask Tin Lizzie Henry Ford, Ford model T. Each car model has its own opening features. So, for example, VAZ 2101-2106 can be easily opened with a Zippo lighter, which costs more than a VAZ 2101, and any Volga can be opened with a school protractor or a hairdresser’s comb. That's not the point. Now we are systematizing all possible methods of opening a car according to the degree of financial damage that sclerosis will give to its owner.
Device
The weakest point of the Priora locking system is the microswitch. The electrical package itself, used on the model in question, is a rather complex device. It is his responsibility to receive the owner’s command to unlock or lock the door. Having received a certain signal, it activates certain electrical networks that supply the drive. In this case, the electrical package can perceive orders in two ways at once:
In the first case, having sensed the order to close, the immobilizer turns off the alarm and energizes the electric drive of the lock, closing or, conversely, opening the contact groups of the microswitch.
Then the latter, all the time the lock is locked, monitors whether an order has been received to open the doors.
Why is everything arranged this way? Everything is simple, because the command in this situation can be received not only from the key fob, but also from the switch if the car owner used the key. This allows the immobilizer, when the security alarm is activated, after detecting a raised blocker, to immediately begin to act according to the alarm protocol.
So, the biggest problem of the Priora is water getting inside the door. As a result, the contact groups of the microswitch quickly oxidize and become overgrown with verdigris, similar to moss. The volume of the working surface increases significantly and the contacts stick together. In addition, the oxides have fairly good conductivity. As a result, the passing tension is perceived as an order to unlock or lock the doors.
It is possible to get rid of such a malfunction only after replacing the blocker, or the microswitch itself.
Other most common problems and ways to eliminate them are described below.
How to open a car if the battery is dead
Quite often, motorists cannot open their car for another reason - the battery is dead. And in this case, a new battery that you installed recently does not guarantee absolutely anything. To completely discharge it, it is enough to leave the car with the low beam headlights on. The battery is discharged, the alarm is turned off and the door is blocked. What to do in this case?
Most often, the lock can be opened with a key, after which a new battery is installed in the car. But often it is not possible to use a mechanical lock. It can simply freeze in the cold. And there are plenty of other reasons why a mechanical lock refuses to work. And if so, then you cannot do without special methods that allow you to open a car with a dead battery.
Video: Opening a Renault with a dead battery
Method No. 1
A special pad will help us out again, which this time needs to be inserted between the body and the hood of the car. If you can use it to make a small gap, then all that remains is to connect, for example, the positive terminal of your car’s battery with a wire to the positive terminal of another car, having previously secured the “negative” wire to the wheel rim, and at the moment of connection press the button on the key fob. It is more convenient to do this operation together.
Method No. 2
If there is no special pad, and most often this is what happens, then you will have to crawl under the car and try to gain access to the generator. On some models this is very easy to do, but it is possible that in your case you will have to tinker and, for example, remove the engine compartment protection. If access to your car’s generator is open, then all that remains is to find a fresh battery and two power wires with a cross-section of about two square centimeters, each of which must have alligator clips at its ends.
When you have all the necessary equipment, find the positive bolt of the generator and connect it to the positive terminal of the battery. The negative terminal of the battery, as in the first case, is connected to any metal part of the car, which in this case will serve as a “ground”. Please note that the positive terminals are closed first, and only after that the ground is connected. If everything is done correctly, then immediately after connection the car alarm should work, and the car itself can be easily opened using the key fob. Naturally, to get under the car you will need a jack. Read how to use a jack in a safe manner here.
Method No. 3
This method seems too obvious, but for some reason it is most often forgotten. If the locks on the doors of your car are frozen or refuse to work, this does not mean at all that the lock on the trunk lid is also faulty. Check it out.
If you manage to open the trunk, then all that remains is to squeeze out the folding part of the rear seat and get into the cabin. It is done. All that remains is to open the hood and charge the dead battery.
Well, the easiest way is to observe basic caution and turn off all energy consumers before parking the car. It doesn't hurt to keep a spare set of keys with you. In this case, you will never have to solve problems with a car that has suddenly become inaccessible to you.
How to open a car if you forgot the keys inside
Don't rush to break the glass!
There are several alternative methods that will help open a locked car, writes Autorambler.
Spare key
Yes, yes, don't laugh. Many motorists really forget about this method and immediately proceed to the most severe method. But almost all cars come from the factory with two sets of keys.
Help from specialized companies
However, it happens that there is a duplicate key, but it is impossible to get it here and now for one reason or another. Then it’s worth moving on to the next option, which involves involving specialists.
There are a lot of such companies on the Internet. Typically, it takes a professional security guard no more than 10-15 minutes to open a car. Depending on the make and class of the car, the cost of such an operation will be 5-10 thousand rubles (such specialists can also open the hood, trunk, glove compartment, reprogram the keys and even remove anti-theft locks). In this case, the car must be opened without any damage. For example, if a burglar breaks the “cylinder” on one door, then the locks of all doors will have to be changed. And this will definitely be more expensive than breaking and then replacing the glass.
By the way, another undoubted advantage of hiring a specialist is that you can consult with a professional on how to maximally protect your particular car from theft.
On one's own
Calling professionals is, of course, quick and easy. But what if there is no such opportunity or there is a fear of falling for deceivers?
In this case, you can try to open the car yourself. To do this, we try to lower the glass on one of the doors by at least a few millimeters. This will be enough to insert a wire with a hook or loop (for example, you can make it from a metal hanger) and try to pry the locking mechanism or press the central locking release button.
If you can’t lower the glass, then you can use something thin and durable (preferably plastic, so as not to damage the paintwork) to bend the upper right corner of the door and use a wire to crawl under the seal. Ideally, of course, buy a special kit for opening doors, which includes several types of rods, as well as a rubber cushion. It is inserted between the edge of the door and the body, inflated and bends the door, freeing up the gap for the wire.
However, the above method is not suitable for all machines. On some cars, you simply won’t be able to bend the door or lower the window, while on others there are simply no lock latches with caps that you can grab onto. Those who have small windows on the side doors in their car will be lucky here. Often, by removing the seal, the small glass can be squeezed out and the door can be opened through the opening.
Break glass
Finally we come to the most popular method. How to properly break a car window?
Firstly. Call a dealership or auto shop and find out which glass is the most inexpensive and, most importantly, available. Therefore, it is better not to touch the small side windows. Usually they can only be purchased to order and are more expensive than others. The best option is to break one of the rear side windows (don’t touch the front one, as without it it will be uncomfortable to get to the service center).
Secondly. To avoid damaging the interior and paintwork with splinters, it is better to stick several strips of adhesive tape or masking tape on the surface of the glass.
Third. Do not hit the center of the glass, but closer to the edges. And after breaking it, cover the opening with film and secure it with tape so that moisture and dust do not get into the interior.
And, probably, almost the most important advice when performing all these procedures is to always keep the documents for the car at hand so as not to accidentally end up in the bullpen.
Oh yes. There is another way on the Internet - to open the car using a cell phone. They say that if you call someone with a spare key, the signal from the duplicate can be transmitted through the phone to the car lock. Forget it! This is just a myth, since car chip keys use an infrared signal to control the locks, which can only be transmitted directly.
