It happens. To busy parents, contractors, and people who swear it’s “never happened before.” Here’s the simplest, safest way to handle it.
Give yourself 10 seconds. Panicking won’t unlock the door — but a clear head will.
Try every door. Check the trunk. Make sure the keys aren’t in a pocket or bag.
If someone can bring you a spare key, that’s the easiest win.
Wire hangers, wedges, and slim jims can scratch paint, bend frames, or damage wiring - especially on newer vehicles.
A proper automotive locksmith has the tools and know-how to unlock your vehicle without damage.
When help arrives, ask for ID and a clear quote before work starts. Good companies are transparent.
Make a spare key and keep it somewhere smart (home, trusted friend, or secure lockbox).
