My husband and father-in-law ran a roadside assistance service, including lockouts. The bag is by far the most common way they got into cars, worked on pretty much everything except a Mercedes G-Wagon (the doors are too strong to wedge out). Most modern cars have shielding to prevent the use of a slim jim. And the coat-hanger looking thing can be very effective for lever lock style doors.

Go to be careful using the bag as it can bend the top of the door frame. I got locked out and a road side assistance used a couple of airbags and a hook to retrieve the keys from inside.... I was just going to break a rear quarter window. Anyhow, this was on the passenger side of the car. My then girlfriend and I were out driving and it started to rain... the water started leaking in through the top of the passenger door. I realised the top of the door frame has been bent out of shape a bit. ... to fix it means winding down the window and trying to spring in the top of the door frame a bit.

[@shanesteele8856]

I had to help a coworker break into their car the other night during lunch at work (night shift at an automotive factory). His carabiner broke and he didn’t notice his keys fell off onto the seat. I had to use my kabar to wedge his door open and use a coat hanger to pull the door latch. Was pretty awkward explaining to security when they rolled up lol

[@milesofsky]

Took my mountain bike to uni once and forgot a lock. Popped the wheel off, shoved the forks through a lock that was already there, and put it back on. That was an awkward chat with security too!

[@TheLegendOfRune]

@@milesofsky Several years back I went into burger king only to come out and realize my keys were on my seat. Both my parents were at work so I wasn't able to call them, and even if I did my car only had the one key, lol. Since my car was an older car that didn't lock the trunk I put my food on the ground and crawled through and was able to unlock my car. But of course a lady was watching me and called the cops telling them some lady was trying to steal a car. lol It was really funny to show the police my license and tell them how I locked myself out of my own car. Everyone got a good laugh and the poor lady kept apologizing. After that I got a second key.

[@xfakexaxon6216]

It'll always be an awkward conversation when you have to explain to someone why you're breaking into a car, because if they don't know you, they'll obviously think you're stealing it, but if they do know you, they'll think you're stupid for having locked yourself out or they'll make fun of you for a little while while they help you out

As a automotive locksmith for trade, I normally use that first Break inkit, it’s better when it’s a single piece and not a 3 piece that screws together, and lishi tools. Lishi is normally the best option but sometimes the lock cylinder just doesn’t want to cooperate if it’s cold or rusty. Normally the ignition has 2 extra pins or wafers to pick too

Any time there is a "Teach a skill.." thing for a class or work, I always go for lockpicking. People are so skeptical at first. But once I show them how locks work and demystify the thing, people usually have a lot of fun. And every single person I've worked with has been able to get at least one lock open. People are just so blown away. This is one of those movie-skills that is obviously misrepresented. But at the same time, is totally doable by nearly anyone with a little patience and knowledge.

The trick to the Slim Jim is knowing where and what angle to put it. I've only done a few, all my own cars... Because I am REALLY bad about leaving keys in my car. Older cars are easier. Some newer cars have shields to block you also. The kits usually come with a guide to show you tips. Also, I've seen a lot of lock outs working downtown. An inexperienced slim Jim user can do some damage. Don't get too rough or you'll be taking the door apart to replace plastic pieces.

[@dcgregorya5434]

Without a fancy slim jjm a hanger will do the job just fine.

[@RonParker]

Both times I've used a slim jim were on older Fords (my own 88 Tempo and a friend's 98? Ranger) and they both required me to push something down rather than pull something up. My first time looked a lot like the video here - I could make it wiggle, but I couldn't make it unlock. Until I accidentally pushed the rod down while trying to start over and it just popped open. I think I invented some new cursewords at that point. Both times were also in busy parking lots in broad daylight, and everyone just completely ignored the weirdo with the slim jim.

Pretty sure that door unlocks to the right, so picking it to the left would only lock the door each time and the wafers fall right back down when you go to turn it the other way

[@amzarnacht6710]

@@thathondaguy9670 With a 'frameless' window (i.e. no metal door frame) you do _NOT_ use an air wedge. You use a gap wedge (like the white one they were using when using the slim jim) to get enough space to get the long tool in. You then brace one hand over the long tool so it does not put excessive outward pressure against the glass when manipulating the lock/handle.

You gotta keep tension on the lock while picking it. That's why all the pins/wafers kept clicking back. So the entire time you're using the pick you gotta be trying to lightly turn it. By slightly turning the lock the pins/wafers get stuck up 1 by 1 until it's open.

@@KNR90 To the best of my knowledge, cars with mechanical keyholes are meant to always be openable using a physical key (or a good lockpicking tool), mostly for emergency situations.

I've found some interesting anti theft on my truck (2018 Ram). If the truck was locked and my window down... I've reached in the window to push the unlock button (not even trying to test anything, I had set my keys in the console while working on the property). The door opened right up, and the panic alarm went off. My truck does not have an alarm package upgrade or anything. So the alarm/panic function goes nuts. Could only stop the horn and flashing lights with the remote. So... I guess my truck has an alarm. Funny how they tried to upsell me on a car alarm

The air wedge (I use a blood pressure cuff) and long stick combo is so good and reliable, I've used it to great success any time I locked my keys in my car. It's so fast lol. Just slide it in, inflate, and then unlock the door with the stick. Haven't had to use it on my newer cars, but it was great for my 99 Buick

[@RickCicchini]

I used to work for a national car rental chain, our lockout tool was a wooden wedge, a soft mallet, and a slim jim. We had to use it.... way more often than we liked. I need to pick up one of those air wedges.

Working on a 2nd hand car yard as a "detailer", it was on me to either pick the lock on any pre alarm/immobilizer cars or j8mmy the ones with alarm systems whenever the dealers locked the keys in the cars after moving them 2m in the lot. The jimmy is my favourite, after 10 uses it gets to be almost second nature, very few times would I fail with it and have to move to a door bumper and lock puller. Frankly if I had a lishi all those locks would be done easily as we had bidding codes for every car already and couldve saved me some decent time.

I've had to get into a car while camping with a coat hanger made into a straight stick and some dental floss tied to the end as a lasso. Used a few wood shims to wedge the door like the air bag does. Once you lasso the pull stick (doesn't work so good on the rectangle pull locks), spin the hanger to tighten the floss on the pull stick. Then give er a tug. Works like a charm.

[@TTOS69]

Seems excessive, ive used just the metal clothes hanger several times and it does the trick by itself. From an 88 F150 to a 2012 Toyota Camry.

[@DaveDefrane602]

@@TTOS69 Excessive? lol it's a clothes hanger and floss? how does a hanger itself pull up a stick type lock pull?

[@amzarnacht6710]

@@DaveDefrane602 If it's a round stick-type there's usually a flare at the top. Once you get the string around the shaft and tighten it you can tug the lock up. If it's a rectangle shape there is no lip so you would need a different approach, but a shoelace might still work if more complicated and frustrating. Loop it over the rectangle part and pull firmly toward the rear of the vehicle and ease it up - and fail multiple times before success. Coat hangers are just too flimsy to work any modern flip-locks without an excess of skill and/or fumbling. Some vehicles will open with a pull on the door handle but many will not. And no one is going to do squat to a modern toyota/lexus with a basic theft deterrent system using a coat hangar... those are the most annoying cars to perform a lockout service on.

[@Wreckerrick201]

The under the door tool is a wonder tool. Used correctly it’s great. You have to pull the wedges before pulling it up into the inside of the car: they’re quite quick. And come in a kit with about 20 other tools as well. Been using them for 20 years…as a heavy duty tow operator

[@polapino]

Agreed. I've used the wonder tool multiple times for friends' vehicles. The trick is to know what you are aiming for. ie. Door unlock button, door pin, etc.

[@SAMarcus]

As far as tryout keys go, the same principal applied to some older models where you could use keys from a similar year model to open the door. This worked well on Frod passenger doors back in the day. I had a random Ford key I found on the road that opened a buddy's 92 pickup, but only the passenger side and wouldn't start it.

[@patheddles4004]

My first car was a mid-80s Ford Telstar, and the driver side door lock was pretty relaxed. Two fun examples: - First day I drove it to work, I locked my keys in it. Only had one key that wasn't on the keyring locked in there, and that was from a '99 Commodore (completely different key blank ofc). Worked fine. - Accidentally locked myself out at my local supermarket, had no keys at all left to use. I asked the first random stranger I saw in the parking lot, and they lent me their keys to try. Door unlocked for the third key I tried - no clue what it even was. Never actually tried opening that lock with a flathead screwdriver, but with the right one it probably would have worked.

on some cars like my 2005 toyota rav 4 without an alarm. hitting the unlock button from the inside after the vehicle has been inactive for awhile will not work, you would need to manually flip the lock lever. and slim jimming modern cars can be next to impossible without damage, I have also tried slim jimming the rav 4, had to take apart the door panel and reassemble the rods that worked the lock mechanism.

[@olaf2170]

Another lockout tool if you have the tab on top of the door panel is a silly strip. Thin long piece of plastic folded in half with grip tape in the crease. It's the fastest and cheapest one. A long bar a wedge and a silly strip were all I ever took on car door lockout runs. Lexus' were notoriously hard because they re-locked the doors automatically and you had to time the door pull and unlock one handed.
