Think Safety: Tips from Campus Police
LOCKED OUT OF YOUR CAR?
(From yourmechanic.com)
It’s pretty easy to get locked out of a car, and if the key gets lost or locked inside of the vehicle without a spare handy, then there's a real problem. If you do not have a spare key you can take your vehicle registration to a car dealership and they will make a key. To save money, request they make a non-chipped key to open your door. A chipped (the ignition recognizes the key and allows you to start your vehicle) ignition key can easily cost $100 or more. Calling a professional locksmith is another option.
There are a few techniques that you can try, at your own risk, as they don’t take particularly specialized equipment, and they can be done by people with little or no prior locksmith experience.
• Warning: If a child or pet is trapped inside of a car, call the police or fire department to get them out as quickly as possible.
Unless the situation is an emergency, don’t rush any of the steps involved. Don’t force the door open. Damaging the doors or the locks themselves turns an inconvenience into a serious problem.
• Warning: Do not use these instructions to break into a car illegally. On top of the fact that felonies are not advisable, all methods listed here have a high likeliness of setting off the car’s alarm.
