Locked the keys in the car. What now?

So you’re in a rush and your mind is occupied with the thousand things you’ve got to do that day. You pull into the parking spot and quickly climb out of the car. It’s not until after closing the car door behind you that you realize what you just did. You forgot to take the keys out of the ignition. Turning to open the driver side door…Uh-oh… The doors locked with the keys inside!

Trying not to panic, you proceed to check all the other doors; if you’re lucky, maybe one of them is still unlocked. Nope. What next? Maybe you have a spare key hidden on a magnet under your car or maybe you’ve got a FOB in your bag. Nope. What now? Looking down at your feet in frustration, you recall the shoelace trick seen on youtube for opening car doors. Quickly you take off your shoelace and proceed to tie a slipknot when you realize this technique won’t work on your car since the locking mechanism is on the side of the door.

In a panicked frenzy, you proceed to pry the door with whatever tool or object you can find. You damage the door and still can’t get it open! Bah! Having no choice, you find a large rock and are about to smash the window when suddenly you remember: Discount Locksmith provides emergency lockout service day & night in Phoenix, AZ and the entire metropolitan area to open locked car doors!

Antique Steamer Trunk with Brass Lock

Discount Locksmith recently had the opportunity to assist a customer by opening the lock on an old antique steamer trunk in which the key had mistakenly been locked inside.

Steamer trunks or old travel trunks, although not used as much these days for travel, are great for decoration and storage for blankets, cloths, photo albums or any smaller items you want to store. Problem is that it’s easy to lock and the misplace or lose keys that you rarely use or, due to age, the lock may stick and the key no longer work. While not always the most secure lock, simply prying open the figure 8 lock (called a figure 8 due to the way the lock looks when the latch is open) that is on many of these trucks can also damage the lock or the trunk itself. An expert locksmith may be able to open the lock for you with causing damage to the lock or trunk.
