How to 'pry open' a car door in an emergency
These methods are only used when the car owner unfortunately forgets the key and cannot get help from a professional.
1. Open the hand-locked car door
 |
First, you need to find a long thin stick, as thin as possible but strong enough. Measure out an object small enough to fit through the door slot, long enough to reach the latch. This could be a coat hanger or a car antenna if nothing else works. Bend the end of the stick somehow. |
 |
Next, you need to find something to create a gap in the door slot. It could be a piece of wood or something similar.Slide this tool into the door slot.Work in the space between the body and the top of the door on the side opposite the hinge (this corner is easiest to pull out).Use your fingers to create more space. |
 |
To avoid damaging the car's paint, you can line this item with a soft cloth or paper. |
 |
Once there is a gap, insert the long stick towards the door latch, it may take a few tries to get it right depending on your dexterity. |
2. Open the car door for automatic locking from inside
This depends on whether the automatic door latch is located on the dashboard or on the car door. If the door latch is located on the door under the window, the operation is similar to the manual lock.
 |
Locate the door latch by looking through the windshield and estimating the distance. |
 |
Like manipulating a lock by hand, an antenna or coat hanger are good tools for this purpose. |
