Locked Out!!!

[.xShAgUaRx.]

So i was resting my ecu and my hazards go off because the security system thing in my camry. I put the keys in the ignition shut the door and the doors then locked. know i have no key. Is there a way i can open my doors with out having to break a window or call a lock smith??

If any window is even open a crack, you may be able to get a coat hanger in there. Pull open the door handle, move the window crank to open a little more or even hook the key ring and pull it to freedom.
If the trunk is open pop the 60/40 split open and slither in.

you can also take the VIN to the dealership and get a key cut for about $5.

i use a wood shim and a thin metal rod. gently pry the top of away from the frame, wedge in the shim and slide the medal rod down and press the unlock button. ive used this technique on several cars. but not in a bad way, officer...

really?

I didn't think you could force the locked door open enough to get the rod in.

My security system, locks my doors once in a while with my keys in the car, & once in the ACC position, cause although the car recognizes the key in the ignition at any position, the security auto lock only recognizes it if the key is in the ON position.

I've done that on my old Olds. works well, kind of scratched it a but tho.

Use two nylon wedges to get the corner pried open, then insert a rod to work the lock, this really does work

Bring something to prove that u own that car with the vin #. they will not cut without a title or something

Every dealer is different. Mine didn't ask for it, but you SHOULD have a title or something of that nature.

I wouldn't recommend forcing entry just because of the chance of minor damage. I'd rather hand over $5 and get another key.

my local dealer cuts keys at no charge if you bring your own blank key. all they need is proof of ownership (e.g. registration or title) and your driver's license. it takes 5 mins. if you don't have a blank (i got mine off ebay) i think they charge something like $40 if transponder programming is involved.
