For you thiefs out there

anybody know how to pick our car's lock?
we left our keys inside of our 2003 Chey Suburban z71 and have no idea how to open it... we have called AAA and they are on our way but i dunno if they can help

any ideas?

 

Call OnStar...if you still have an active account with them. They can remotely pop the lock.

 

^-otherwise AAA should work

 

dont got onstar.... i was wondering what AAA will actually do....

 

 

^^^ Very helpful

 

triple a will pop your locks for free if the towing company is triple a approved.

 

which includes a long piece of metal down our window panel?

 

they wont stop until your door is unlocked

 

you dont have a single spare key in the house? I have like 5
edit: only one can start it the other 4 can just unlock.

 

Exactly, but at least you'll get where you need tonite.

 

we are 45 min from our house, we had 4 spare, 3 lost, 1 left in Arizona and one in the car

and BTW do you think it will damage our car at all?

 

shouldnt. AAA has been great for me in the past.

If I were you I would either make a ton more spares and give them to neighbors you trust, or dont make anymore as pretty soon everyone will have a key to your car.

 

AAA always worked for me,

they always just sent some mexican guy with a slimjim to pop the lock j/k



course i've never had a nice enough car where a slimjim might not work.

 

It shouldn't, but honestly, the last time I needed AAA for a lockout, I was driving an early '90's Camaro. I've had 2 Acuras since, and as far as I know you can't lock the (driver's) door from the outside w/o a key or clicker.

 

easiest way I have done on my silverado is gat a wire hanger and bend it to fit under the window and with a bend that will go over the inner window arm rest and be able to hit the unlock button...its hard to describe the bend that you need

Or, I have done this too...pull the top of the window out of the slider and towards the outside...you should not break the window b/c you are only pulling the window about .5 inches from its normal track, then you will need a dowel or something long and slender...about 3 feet and you can either move the lock/unlock lever or hit the unlock button.

I have done both on my silverado and neither has caused any damage to the truck

 

So, how did AAA work for you acuraluvr?

 

they came in 30 min, worked well - jiffy through door panel, not the window as expected.... used like a pump (one of those in blood pressure wraps) to open the door slightly and used a metal to click the button....

 

Good to hear things worked out well with AAA. I'm just curious though, where were you posting from if you weren't at home?

 

I always have carried a spare thin key in my wallet. have never been locked out of any car i've owned. Best $1.50 ever.

 

"Thin" as in All metal key, no black rubber/plastic top part. Don't even feel it in there.

 

That's good to here! Glad you were happy with them.

 

what happens when you lose your wallet and drop the key with it.. address included on your license.

 

Anything with my address is kept in my second wallet, including my license.

Yes I carry two wallets.

Wallet 1 (Right Rear pocket)= Credit Cards, Spare Car key, a couple of other peoples business cards
Wallet 2 = (very thin, front left pocket) = Licence, Reg, and my other id
Money= (Front right pocket) never in my wallet.


Most people carry all of the above in ONE wallet, not me. This way if I lose one, at least I am bound to still have the others so I am not assed out. Redundancy at it's finest.

 

I keep a spare of my Maxima and Quest keys on with the house keys. My Murano has Intelligent key so I really cannot be locked out if the key FOB is inside the vehicle.
