How do you get your keys out of cars when the car door is locked?

Method 1: Using a Slim Jim

1. Insert the slim jim between the door frame and the weatherstripping.

2. Slide the slim jim down along the inside of the door until you feel it hit the lock mechanism.

3. Press the slim jim against the lock mechanism and pull up.

4. The door should now be unlocked and you will be able to open it.

Method 2: Using a Coat Hanger

1. Straighten out a coat hanger and create a small hook on one end.

2. Insert the hook end of the coat hanger between the window and the weatherstripping.

3. Slide the coat hanger down along the inside of the door until you feel it hit the lock mechanism.

4. Press the coat hanger against the lock mechanism and pull up.

5. The door should now be unlocked and you will be able to open it.

Method 3: Using a Wedge and Inflatable Airbag

1. Insert the wedge between the door and the door frame near the top of the door.

2. Inflate the airbag.

3. Apply pressure to the wedge with your foot. The airbag should force the door open at the base.

4. Once the door is open enough, you can use a hanger to pull the lock lever and get the door fully open.

5. Remove the wedge and deflate the airbag.
