Scotty I desperately need your help again. And my issue would make for a great video because alot of people do this to their car. I'd be willing to drive there again I'd even buy you lunch?
Great information, easy to understand. I did the same test years ago, rolling the windows down FIRST. My 99 Tacoma, wouldn't lock the door if it Wasn't running but with key in ignition, like the Matrix. It was totalled when a Tesla t boned it. My 2007 Infiniti, put the key in the trunk, grabbed two arm fulls of stuff, shut the trunk. Car beeped at me and popped the trunk back open. Good to know how things work.
@@toriless Yeah that one had bad reviews. You can always watch videos on UA-cam on just about any brand. I started to get the Autowit until I seen it in action on UA-cam. Junk
"you might want to roll down the window first" That's probably the best advice in this whole video. Honestly, there are many people out there that won't even think about doing that they would just toss their key in there and not even consider what might happen. Since I'm old school I used to always keep a spare key in my wallet. Nowadays, I just have AAA coverage if I have a problem like that where I'm locked out I can call them and they'll come out and unlock my car for me. One time I was out and about with a friend of mine in his car and he locked his keys inside so I called AAA to come out and in fact they used the bladder and a long adjustable rod exactly like you are doing it here. When you think about it with all the technological advancements they have made in automobiles the absolute worst and weakest link in the chain after all this time is still the battery.
a little trick I used to do (having a 2011 Mazda CX-7) was to detach the buttons part (remote control) of my key fob and leave it in my pants pocket all the time and forget about it (until I’d need it to open the car in case I’m locked out or something) and always use the metal part for my daily uses. You’re probably asking why I don’t do the opposite and use the remote control for my daily basis ? Well that’s to prevent thieves from intercepting my key fob signals, copy them and then come later and steal my car ! So to recap : I keep the spare key at home and use the main key as 2 keys : 1 for daily uses, and the 2nd as a spare key that stays attached to my body all the time ; I don’t put it in my phone or purse coz I may forget the phone/purse themselves in my locked car.
You don't have to look at your hands get some extra keys made if you have some already choose a place to hide them you can figure out the rest it someone see you getting them choose another place to hide them but I doubt it i haven't had issues any of cars missing
It will happen when you least expect it , you'll need to be somewhere important and you won't have a spare . That's the law of our universe Murphy's law . If something can go wrong it will. so I have found out .
I remember when I locked myself out my car, an older dude helped me open it with a hanger. He told me to leave it in my trunk in case I’m ever locked out again. I was like if I could open my trunk would I still be locked out
Get a copy of your car key cut at a hardware store. It won’t start the car in modern cars because it won’t have the fob that signals the ignition. But it will work for the door. Put it in a magnetic hide-a-key under the fender.
I remember one time I went to gas my truck up and my dog stomped on the lock switch effectively locking me out. Fortunately, I was at a gas station. It still actually had a mechanic on duty and he was able to do exactly that he used his little inflatable wedge and was able to unlock my truck for me. From that moment, I never left the keys in the truck.
@@pmor5992 Strange how in another comment that you made on this video, you said that you hide a key by a wire. Which is it ? Do you remember your keys everytime or you forget and use a hidden key???? NOT THE BRIGHTEST BULB, ARE YOU?
@@pmor5992 Especially at the boat ramp. H,ave seen several people do that. I always instruct new boaters to leave the driver window down, even if it is raining
You never know when you’re gonna need a wire coat hanger. If you have an extra coat, car lockout, hook for fishing things, use as a wire tie, cotter pin, or hole puncher, weapon or garrote, kidnapping, abortion… so many uses
@@BobTheHatKing How about using a hanger as a fastener when the skid plate falls off the bottom of the engine and scrapes along the highway at 70 mph? It happened to me after an oil change performed by some new guy at the shop I patronized for 30 years.
last summer i was with a scout troop of about 25 in Alaska. We were in a remote area doing some salmon fishing (yes, that was amazing). One of the dads locked the doors and key inside of one of the cars we were using. We were in a NON cell area that was very remote. I stepped up to the plate and took on the task of getting us in. The 1st thing i did was checked ALL the doors for a open lock. None were found. The drivers window was down about 1/4". I directed scouts to find me the perfect stick, a couple dads pulled on the glass and I very cautiously guided the stick down to the unlock button. Although they were amazed, no one really gave me credit for that magic touch and ingenuity!
I put one in a magnetic holder and put it behind the bumper somewhere years ago and it’s still there so I can reach up under there and feel for it. It has come in handy a couple of times.
I purchased a similar kit, but to help others. But the only way anything is going to help you get into your own car is if it is accessible to you. Those tool sitting in your trunk will do no good with getting you back in your own car. I used to lock my keys in my car quite frequently and then I got smart (and disciplined ). I made two 3x5 cards that reminded me to put my key in my pocket before standing up. One for the windshield and one for my driver's side window. To my surprise, it only took a week to train myself and I never locked them inside again. I don't even have to do it anymore with my vehicles but I still do it by habit. Huge problems can be solved with small disciplines.Try it and see. You will shock yourself how well it really works and what little effort.
That could be done and it is a good idea in a time when it is needed. Still, I think I'm going to promote my idea of reminding the driver with flash cards to stick the key in a pocket before getting out. I didn't know if it was going to work out but I was very surprised by the good outcome.
I just bought my third Hulkman. Very impressive! If you're locked out, slap a bunch of duct tape on a window and work it down slowly. You'll get a working gap pretty quickly.
I have a hulkman 80 and is awesome. Saved me countless time when my car had low battery problem. Great power bank too to charge cellphones when you forget about to charge
This makes me so happy. I have a Lincoln. I’ve got the five digit keypad on the side. I just leave my key in the center armrest all the time and I lock it from the keypad and I unlock it from the keypad.
My 93 T-bird was possessed. If I even thought about leaving the key init, it would lock me out and laugh. But, I could unscrew the antenna and open it with that... Last laugh was on it. 😉
That's a great kit to unlock ones car, but where would you store it? In the trunk or inside of the car, where you need the key anyway? Because you're locked out of your car somewhere beside your home.
Tow truck driver here... on some toyota and lexus models when you pull the lock lever inside you need to pull the door handle almost instantly. If you mistime the pull you WILL trigger the alarm LOL. you also would want to work from the passenger side
Even if you have a newer vehicle that needs the remote so that the car will start, you can still have a plain key cut so at least you can open the door to get your keys. Many places will say, oh, you have to have the remote, nope. Plus, a plain keys is easier to put in your wallet, or if you use one of the magnetic key holders, if they find it, they may open the door, but it won't start, (unless you left your keys in the car)
Even my 2009 Toyota won't start without the factory key. I did as you suggested however and got a keys cut just to get me in the door if I'm locked out. I keep it in my wallet and one at home.
I do roadside assistance and help with 15+ lockouts. Toyotas are the only vehicles that do not lock when the key is in the ignition. The rest don’t and yes, no matter how old or new it is, it WILL still lock you out. I would highly suggest getting a second key because if you own an American, Japanese, German or a Korean car then chances are it could lock you out.
You could also hide a spare key. I hide a key inside my truck away from the ignition area so not not to interfere with lock/unlock. in a metal case. I than use outside key pad to get in. This works with remote fobs
Won't work with prox. fobs, but everything before that, 2 things. 1.kill-switch below dash. (I know has nothing to do with this, but always my first suggestion lol) 2. Spend the money and put one in the trunk. Used small gauge galvanized cable to connect to the emergency release in the trunk and run the other end out below. I ran mine right next to my gas tank strap. No one would ever notice it's there.
Great article, I tried this on my 2017 cruze diesel it worked but I tried it from the passenger side it will lock the fob in it I happened it by accident and Im glad to know.
How do you use your little lock-out kit if it's locked in your car ?? That would work great if you're at home when you lock your keys in and your little kit is in your garage.
I just use my app to unlock my door. BUT not all people can do that. But like always. My husband has the spare key and the extra key fob. I probably should let my son have the key fob so I have two people to call though. Fortunately (Thank God!) I haven’t locked my keys in the vehicle in over 30yrs. I pray I never do again.
Hey Scotty, I actually locked the keys in my 2011 Prius for the first time since I bought it back in 2011! The keys were left in the very back corner of the hatch, which allowed the car to start and lock! I am not sure how the keyless entry detected the key enough to allow the car to start, but didn’t prevent it from locking. I’m thankful I was close to home, and a spare set could be brought to me. Do you know how this could have happened? Great videos! Thank you for saving me a ton of money over the years!!!
Most modern cars like Audis when you lock the doors and leave the car, the car disables all of the unlock buttons inside the car so even if you can use this tool to push unlock the doors still won’t open
I have the hulkman, didnt think ever use but had just in case. Do u know when i uaed it? After a hurricane to jump atart my battery for thw generator until the gas kicked in!
I used to keep a spare key in my wallet back when they were thin, flat keys. Now I keep two keyrings in my pocket with keys to both cars on both rings. The last time I locked my keys in the car, before carrying two key rings, I used a wedge shaped wood door stop to hold the car door gap open and a 5 ft piece of rebar to stick through the gap to push the electric door lock button.
Having a spare key handy with you is sure helpful if you lose track of things, that is as long as the key doesn't have a chip. My spare key is made of metal. It can open the door, but it won't do anything in the ignition.
What works for me is getting a spare key cut. The spare key won't start the car because there's no transponder. It will only open the door. I then hide the key somewhere under the car. Even if a crook found it, they won't be able to start the car. I usually don't keep valuables in the car so there's nothing of worth to steal.
When I worked security at a bank's central cash vault, we always had a couple of wire coat hangars on hand, bent in a couple different ways, for unlocking vault employee's car doors. Which we had to do, about every other week... As for motorcycle batteries? My 2018 Harley Freewheeler trike still has it's original battery. Mainly because, if I'm not going to be riding it for a while - like, say, in the Indiana winter? It's hooked up to a Deltran Battery Tender. Which monitors the battery constantly, and always keeps it fully charged. If I'm snowed in, and it's stupid cold - and going to be for several days? I have a compact Battery Tender that can sit under the hood, next to the battery. I love those things...
I can show you how to open most any vehicle with a piece of plastic banding that goes around packages.... it's EASY.. (I worked for AAA for years- and in Cali- didn't have a lot of time-- so the strap trick works GREAT- and quick- and works on almost all cars.. or at least up to 2000... I'm not sure about the new ones.. but I think it will.
Hi Mr. Scotty! I noticed you have some money in your key drawer, I had a dollar once until my wife found it. But it was nice for just a short time to not be broke!
You have to manually lock the driver's door with the key on my old Honda. It's probably saved my bacon a couple dozen times over a couple of decades. Simply brilliant design.
@@Latarian_HoodRat I took my key out of my key fob and hid that . And I took my spare key fob and hid it inside of my truck. Why keep it at home. And why do you have a picture of a blond haired Alice Cooper as a thumbnail????😂😂😂😂😂
You dont need a "kit", go to menards where they sell doors and they have the exact same bladder bag thing in two sizes. They sell them for leveling doors when you install them yourself. Same exact thing except the menards one is actually made in Denmark for some reason....probably lasts longer than one 从中国. I have two of the smaller ones (same as in the video) they work amazing. For a wire I use a muskrat stretcher that I cut bottom stuff off....probably four times thicker than a coat hanger and works really well too.
@@cathycraig1301 Pardon me.... A muskrat FUR stretcher, so it dries out, after you skin it, before you sell it, so they can falsely call it a mink, make a coat out of it, and sell it for $10,000, so somebody else can steal it, by breaking into a car, with a muskrat stretcher....thingy. Happy?
In my older Camry, you can just pull the inside handles from outside, and it mechanically unlocks the door lock automatically. But only works for the front doors
I never get out of my car without the keys. I have a 06 Corolla. For some reason it sometimes locks the doors by itself. Got locked out once, learned my lesson...
My car was running, in park, and on a very slight incline. I opened the door to get a turtle out of the road. The door slammed shut and LOCKED me out! It was summer and very hot. I couldn't get in the car and couldn't move my car. I found someone to call AAA as my phone was in my car. Long story short, someone from a car wash had the kit that Scotty showed and opened my door for me. I went straight to the hardware story and had a spare key made that unlocks the door only. I hid it on my car. I won't ever be locked out again but I never thought the door would stay locked after the door was opened.
As a young teenage woman, my father taught me to put a spare key in a Ziploc bag, fold it up, and put it in the little spot inside the gas door that is meant to hold the cap while you refill the car. I’ve only had to use it one time, but that one time was certainly worth it!
I'm a locksmith & about 1/6 of people who lock their keys in their car didn't realize 1 of their windows was rolled down. Yes - really! Also, guys, train yourself to NEVER EVER let your keys out of your hand unless you're putting them in your pocket, & only leave them in the ignition if you're sitting in the driver's seat. Never let your children play with your keys. And those bladders Scottie used, on some cars, will bend the window frame.

I do roadside assistance and help with 15+ lockouts. Toyotas are the only vehicles that do not lock when the key is in the ignition. The rest don’t and yes, no matter how old or new it is, it WILL still lock you out. I would highly suggest getting a second key because if you own an American, Japanese, German or a Korean car then chances are it could lock you out.
Anyone else smiling each time Scotty said “the bladder”? 🤣
no
You mean the fact that they buckle ya door?
Thanks Scotty - what a great episode, right on
Thank you Scotty! Also. Tape up the edges to minimize scratches.
I bought one of this kit and i have saved 100s in locksmith charges. 25 dollars well spent!
You could also hide a spare key. I hide a key inside my truck away from the ignition area so not not to interfere with lock/unlock. in a metal case. I than use outside key pad to get in. This works with remote fobs
Won't work with prox. fobs, but everything before that, 2 things.
1.kill-switch below dash. (I know has nothing to do with this, but always my first suggestion lol)
2. Spend the money and put one in the trunk. Used small gauge galvanized cable to connect to the emergency release in the trunk and run the other end out below. I ran mine right next to my gas tank strap. No one would ever notice it's there.
So how do you lock your car to prevent a car jacker from opening the door if you're inside the car and can't lock a keyless remote?
Great article, I tried this on my 2017 cruze diesel it worked but I tried it from the passenger side it will lock the fob in it I happened it by accident and Im glad to know.
How do you use your little lock-out kit if it's locked in your car ?? That would work great if you're at home when you lock your keys in and your little kit is in your garage.
What about the Kia and Hundayi cars you can steal with the usb thing?
I just use my app to unlock my door. BUT not all people can do that. But like always. My husband has the spare key and the extra key fob. I probably should let my son have the key fob so I have two people to call though. Fortunately (Thank God!) I haven’t locked my keys in the vehicle in over 30yrs. I pray I never do again.
Hey Scotty, I actually locked the keys in my 2011 Prius for the first time since I bought it back in 2011! The keys were left in the very back corner of the hatch, which allowed the car to start and lock! I am not sure how the keyless entry detected the key enough to allow the car to start, but didn’t prevent it from locking. I’m thankful I was close to home, and a spare set could be brought to me. Do you know how this could have happened? Great videos! Thank you for saving me a ton of money over the years!!!
Most modern cars like Audis when you lock the doors and leave the car, the car disables all of the unlock buttons inside the car so even if you can use this tool to push unlock the doors still won’t open
I have the hulkman, didnt think ever use but had just in case. Do u know when i uaed it? After a hurricane to jump atart my battery for thw generator until the gas kicked in!
I used to keep a spare key in my wallet back when they were thin, flat keys. Now I keep two keyrings in my pocket with keys to both cars on both rings.
The last time I locked my keys in the car, before carrying two key rings, I used a wedge shaped wood door stop to hold the car door gap open and a 5 ft piece of rebar to stick through the gap to push the electric door lock button.
Mr Kilmer this helps a lot thanks!
I've got a 2007 toyota matrix. Is there a go around for this feature? I deliver for a living and am worried about wearing out the starter.
I usually love Scottie but way to teach everyone how to break into cars. Reminds me of all the news shows and the Kia challenge.
It is kind of a slow process, Many thieves wouldn’t be so patient. They want it quick.
Having a spare key handy with you is sure helpful if you lose track of things, that is as long as the key doesn't have a chip. My spare key is made of metal. It can open the door, but it won't do anything in the ignition.
What works for me is getting a spare key cut. The spare key won't start the car because there's no transponder. It will only open the door. I then hide the key somewhere under the car. Even if a crook found it, they won't be able to start the car. I usually don't keep valuables in the car so there's nothing of worth to steal.
When I worked security at a bank's central cash vault, we always had a couple of wire coat hangars on hand, bent in a couple different ways, for unlocking vault employee's car doors. Which we had to do, about every other week... As for motorcycle batteries? My 2018 Harley Freewheeler trike still has it's original battery. Mainly because, if I'm not going to be riding it for a while - like, say, in the Indiana winter? It's hooked up to a Deltran Battery Tender. Which monitors the battery constantly, and always keeps it fully charged. If I'm snowed in, and it's stupid cold - and going to be for several days? I have a compact Battery Tender that can sit under the hood, next to the battery. I love those things...
I can show you how to open most any vehicle with a piece of plastic banding that goes around packages.... it's EASY.. (I worked for AAA for years- and in Cali- didn't have a lot of time-- so the strap trick works GREAT- and quick- and works on almost all cars.. or at least up to 2000... I'm not sure about the new ones.. but I think it will.
Please tell
Sledgehammer works good to get into any car according to some people in Chicago. 😉
Scotty where in the car do you keep that bladder kit, so you can access it when you're locked out, and 200 miles away from home?
Hi Mr. Scotty! I noticed you have some money in your key drawer, I had a dollar once until my wife found it. But it was nice for just a short time to not be broke!
How I love that motor reving in the begining and that bell in the end
As a tow truck driver, I strongly recommend not using metal tools. Use plastic coated ones to avoid damages to your paint.
Hey man, where do you buy that kit and by name what is the name of the kit?!! Got us Lost there!! Cause you didn't really say !!! 💯
Is the Car Door Unlock Kit available in wallet size? Maybe, it’s magnetize to attach underneath the car?.?
After 12:30 of total truth from Scotty I am now under the influence of TRUTH!
Oh wait that’s a good thing!!👍👏
My junk drawer is in the same location. Top-left in the kitchen
WELL YOU KNOW SOMETHING, BROTHER, THE HULKMAN IS THE BEST, BROTHER.
They need to make a statue with Scotty and his jean jacket hoodie in his honor.
Wow….Scotty comes through again with common sense….need Scotty in Washington 🇺🇸
Locksmith picked my lock in 30 seconds. No scratches, no hassle. Worth every dime.
That's a better way to do it. I heard one locksmith say that those bladders can deform the door.
Thanks for showing how to fix this problem
Nice kit. Where do you store it so it's available when you lock your keys in the car at Wal-Mart etc?
You have to manually lock the driver's door with the key on my old Honda. It's probably saved my bacon a couple dozen times over a couple of decades. Simply brilliant design.
Thank you! Valuable information!
I have Ford's keyless numeric pad on my F-150. It's a real convenience, and I shouldn't have to worry about locking myself out.
Great review, Scotty. Thank you.
Thank you for this useful guide. I will use this very responsibly.
LOL 😂, i learned a long time ago... find a place to hide a key. Its so easy that a caveman can do it.
It was EASY in the olden days, but now it costs some bucks to do that! Keys cut cost $50 and fobs are crazy expensive. I miss the old days.
@@Latarian_HoodRat I took my key out of my key fob and hid that . And I took my spare key fob and hid it inside of my truck. Why keep it at home. And why do you have a picture of a blond haired Alice Cooper as a thumbnail????😂😂😂😂😂
@@freedomrings1420 🤣
You dont need a "kit", go to menards where they sell doors and they have the exact same bladder bag thing in two sizes. They sell them for leveling doors when you install them yourself. Same exact thing except the menards one is actually made in Denmark for some reason....probably lasts longer than one 从中国. I have two of the smaller ones (same as in the video) they work amazing. For a wire I use a muskrat stretcher that I cut bottom stuff off....probably four times thicker than a coat hanger and works really well too.
I had no idea one could stretch a muskrat. That could hurt.
@@cathycraig1301 Pardon me.... A muskrat FUR stretcher, so it dries out, after you skin it, before you sell it, so they can falsely call it a mink, make a coat out of it, and sell it for $10,000, so somebody else can steal it, by breaking into a car, with a muskrat stretcher....thingy. Happy?
Thank you. 👍
Bought this kit along time ago
In my older Camry, you can just pull the inside handles from outside, and it mechanically unlocks the door lock automatically. But only works for the front doors
Left the keys in the trunk of a 06 Mercedes E350 security system already went off. how do I to get the trunk open
I never get out of my car without the keys. I have a 06 Corolla. For some reason it sometimes locks the doors by itself. Got locked out once, learned my lesson...
What about at winter and you need to run your car to deice the windows?
Hey Scotty! It is impossible to lock my keys in my Tesla! Can you show me something I actually have to worry about with my Tesla?
Had that used in front of me one time, worked great. But, Scotty, what if you keep it in the trunk? LOL!
Hey Scotty, my '99 Dodge Ram 3500 can be running with the key in the ignition and the doors locked. Awesome for when my dog's with me. 😎
I got locked out of my old car and the police used one of these pumps and a coat hanger. Works great.
My car was running, in park, and on a very slight incline. I opened the door to get a turtle out of the road. The door slammed shut and LOCKED me out! It was summer and very hot. I couldn't get in the car and couldn't move my car. I found someone to call AAA as my phone was in my car. Long story short, someone from a car wash had the kit that Scotty showed and opened my door for me. I went straight to the hardware story and had a spare key made that unlocks the door only. I hid it on my car. I won't ever be locked out again but I never thought the door would stay locked after the door was opened.
the turtles of the world will love you double.
Lesson learned, just drive around it. (Or straddling it would be the safest option)
@@Jabberwockybird If I ever stop to get something out of the road again, I will certainly unlock all the doors first. Cheers.
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
"Yew kant dew thyat weth the mahderun keelizz-zyzztims"
Ha ha ha...Don't ever change a thing Scotty.
Thar unlock tool is useless, unless you carry it everywhere. If it's in the trunk, or inside the car, how do you access the tool?
Scotty showing amateurs how to break into cars. Like we dont have enough of that problem in Chicago.
I think they already know this. Criminals learn the trade in prison.
Trust me, criminals won't take the time to bother with this
As a young teenage woman, my father taught me to put a spare key in a Ziploc bag, fold it up, and put it in the little spot inside the gas door that is meant to hold the cap while you refill the car. I’ve only had to use it one time, but that one time was certainly worth it!
If you choose to use the information for the wrong reason, thats on you
I wonder if that lock-out kit would work on my 94 Celica?
What´s wrong, if a car (Kia C´eed ED 2008) closes all the doors with a running engine?
So if you are in a dangerous situation and someone is trying to get at you, you can't lock the door if the key is in the ignition?
I learned a long time ago to keep a spare key in my bag at all times 😄
are those capacitor jumpers???
I'm a locksmith & about 1/6 of people who lock their keys in their car didn't realize 1 of their windows was rolled down. Yes - really! Also, guys, train yourself to NEVER EVER let your keys out of your hand unless you're putting them in your pocket, & only leave them in the ignition if you're sitting in the driver's seat. Never let your children play with your keys. And those bladders Scottie used, on some cars, will bend the window frame.
I left the keys in the trunk of my 11 dodge charger, closed the trunk, and the trunk just opened by itself. It was awesome!
Scotty, I carry one like that one in the trunk of my car just in case I lock my keys in the car. Lmao
how did he wedge that inflatable thing through the door seals?
