How do you open a car door that is physically but locked?

There a few ways to open a car door that is physically locked.

1. Use a slim jim. A slim jim is a long, thin tool that can be inserted between the weather stripping and the window glass. Once it is inserted, it can be used to push the lock button down and unlock the door.

2. Use a coat hanger. A coat hanger can also be used to unlock a car door. First, straighten out the coat hanger. Then, make a small hook on one end. Insert the hook into the keyhole and turn it until the lock button pops up.

3. Use a wedge. A wedge can be used to create a gap between the weather stripping and the window glass. Once there is a gap, you can use a slim jim or coat hanger to unlock the door.

4. Break the window. This is the last resort, and should only be done if you are in a life-threatening situation. To break the window, use a hammer or other heavy object to smash the glass. Be careful not to cut yourself on the broken glass.
