Don't lock your keys in your car

MSTGGT00 · July 10th, 2007, 08:10 PM

As you can gather from the title, I did. I didn't actually, but my sister locked my keys in the new (yellow) mustang.

Long story short: Locksmith $65
Battery Charger: 25

(She had the radio left ON!)

Invictus · July 10th, 2007, 10:06 PM

i tried the tennis ball trick for shits and giggles and either it is complete bullshit or I was just doing it completely wrong LOL perhaps it just doesn't work on our lock assembly? idk but i'd like that 45 minutes of my life back, and the tennis ball too. lol

coathanger worked great on my dad's 04 tundra doube cab

i was a valet for 2 years bro.....i had to work with a constant rotation of retards. One kid locked keys in a 745 BMW while running. That was a fun day. I would never break into a car, do onto others as u would want others onto u

what were u doing, trying to jamm the ball in the lock.......ur supposed to slip the ball inbetween the window and the roof line after u wedge it in there. then get a stick or hanger and poke at the door lock.

MustangMatt96GT · July 10th, 2007, 10:32 PM

never heard that! lol I saw once how the tennis ball compressed or somthing would unlock the doors though!

Well a coat hanger does work good, in fact the lock smith I called who is a friend (sorta) used a piece of metal very close in appearance and firmness to a coat hanger.

Simple, use a wedge, pull the stripping back a bit above the lock, slide the hanger in with a 90 degree bend, loop and pull up.

Took him 45 seconds, tops.
