1. Check for an Emergency Key: Some Toyota Avalon models come with an emergency key that is stored in a secret location, such as inside the car's owner's manual or behind a panel in the center console. If your Avalon has an emergency key, you can use it to unlock the door and get into the car.
2. Try a Slim Jim: A slim jim is a thin, metal tool that can be used to manipulate the locking mechanism inside the car door. You can purchase a slim jim at most hardware stores or auto parts stores. To use a slim jim, insert it into the door frame near the lock and carefully try to move the locking mechanism until the door unlocks.
3. Use a Shoelace or String: Another method that you can try is using a shoelace or a strong piece of string. Tie a knot at one end of the shoelace and make a small loop. Insert the looped end of the shoelace into the door frame near the lock and use it to try and hook the locking mechanism. Once you have hooked the mechanism, pull it towards you to unlock the door.
4. Break a Window: If all else fails, you may have to break a window to get into the car. This is a last resort option and should only be considered if you have no other way of getting into the car. To break a window, use a heavy object like a hammer or a rock and smash the window near the lock. Be careful not to hurt yourself when breaking the window.
5. Call Roadside Assistance: If you have roadside assistance as part of your car insurance or as a separate service, you can contact them to come and help you get into the car. Roadside assistance companies typically have the tools and expertise to unlock your car without causing damage.
