Locked my keys, hanging in the ignition, in a Toyota Camry with automatic power windows and locks. What are my options? Help?

Answer 1

put on an adult diaper and mess yourself like crazy

Answer 2

Damn sorry bro

Answer 3

Leave the car until someone steals it , then hope 2 get it back .

Answer 4

Call AAA or a town company that can get you in. Or end up damaging the car to the point it will cost you more.

Answer 5

Locksmith can open it-$$. Police often will open locked cars with a slimjim- that's free, but you have to wait for them. If the car is protected/garaged, you can get a perfect new key punched out by the dealer if you show them the registration ( the VIN is on your insurance card you carry in your wallet) and personal ID to prove ownership.

Answer 6

With a plastic wedge and 5 feet of scrap brake line, you can unlock any car. Both can be found in junk heaps.

Answer 7

WTF you do? Pull the key out partway? Cars are made to not lock the doors when the key is in the ignition!

Use a rag over a wide bladed screwdriver to gently pry a gap between the door to body and then use a coat hanger to push the electric door lock switch.

Answer 8

Some local fire or police departments will unlock doors for free...they carry special tools similar to what locksmiths have in case of emergencies to get into locked cars. You can also get a spare key cut at a local Toyota dealership from the VIN number...cheaper than a locksmith.



The easiest way to unlock the doors (assuming the power locks work) is to use a long stiff rod or wire and slightly wedge open the top of the door frame so you can slip that rod down through the gap to push down on the power lock button on the door switch console. You may need to put some bends in the rod to get the right angle to push on the button and bend a little handle in the rod/wire. I use a metal prybar with some tape wrapped around it to keep from scratching the paint as I wedge open the door gap. Special plastic wedges are used by the pro's that unlock cars. As for the rod, a bent coat hanger may work but it has to be fairly thick and stiff or it will just bend too much and not put enough pressure on the button. A long piece of welding rod or thin 3/16" steel rod sold at hardware stores works best. Needs to be about 4 -5 feet long or so to reach some models from the top of the door window frame to the button.



You can also try a string method with a knot in the middle ...see video below.

Some locks can be opened with half a tennis ball over the keyhole.

Answer 11

Take the car to your home with help of you pushing it behind , lifting the car with a bigger one or with a crane. When you're home think better option. Also to couple two cars with a chain

Answer 12

nope

Answer 13

Call AAA. They will come and slim-jim the door.

Answer 14

If the car has the old button at the window lock that is pressed down to lock the door, it may perhaps be possible using a hanger or peace of long metal with a small bend on the end to insert this at the window from the outside, push it down until it hooks the rod that can be pulled up to unlock the door.



Please look at this demonstration for Toyota Camry:

Answer 15

Call the Toyota dealer. Do not attempt to open yourself. You will damage it.

Answer 16

oops.

Answer 17

Call AAA.

Answer 18

Grab a long medium size wire. Bend it at the end like a hook. In between your front door and back door. Pull the front door corner top right away from the car a little and push the wire through. Once you have wire inside bend it to the left a little and hook it to the door handle and pull.

Answer 19

call a locksmith or go to a Toyota dealership with your car ID #

Answer 20

Sometimes you can force the window down enough to force a coat hanger in to control the window controls. Not easy though. Good luck!

Answer 21

I can't believe all the stupid things people have to say about this, including being "ripped off". Do you spend $ for alcohol, cigarettes or drugs? That's what being ripped off is! Now buy a spare door key for $3 and prevent it from happening again.

Answer 22

Buy a Slim Jim, it will open the door with no damage.

Answer 23

You should try asking someone to do it. Preferably a guy who is normal and OK, like a close friend or neighbor. Police is not gonna do anything, but you could call them as a last resort. Be wary of perverts and rapists. How about a crowbar? The keyhole and your keys.....maybe use a wire hanger like people have done. Keep a spare in your purse.

Answer 24

easiest way will be smash the drivers window, that will be the cheapest and easiest to replace (whatever you do don't smash the little bugger on the rear doors, that is expensive to replace)

Answer 25

Take screw driver shove it in to the top of the driver side door to make a tiny opening use a wire hanger or any wire to hook the key ring and jerk them through tbe hole it will no damage door enough to care. 2nd option use palms on your hands and push on window in a downward motion hard it may give enough to let you reach in and grab keys,

Answer 26

Take a taxi to your home to get the spare key(s), and taxi back*. That is often cheaper than calling a locksmith. *That only works if you can get to your spare keys at your house. What about a friend or spouse having keys on them?

Answer 27

call a locksmith
