It didnt take me long after i got the hanger going. Just at first i had no clue if i should have put the hanger close to the handle or further up lol.

 

ok cool ,but funny been there

 

right on, Jhosgood....glad you sorted that out!....

hey man....been there and done that!...and helped others in distress!....mostly successful.....try this next time (unless there is a security plate over the door lock mechanism)....

1. locate a hanging file folder, strip out one of the flat hanging rods (has a perfect hook in it for this purpose!)....wrap some tape about 4" up one end or wear some gloves to protect your palms/fingers...
2. slip the rod between glass and molding just above the door lock...
3. place a finger on the door lock key hole and feel the rod touching it (may have to put a slight bend in the rod - like the shape of the door)...hook the rod on the door lock rod...there is a perpendicular rod that connects to a horizontal rod...you're looking for the perpendicular rod on the other side of the key hole...
4. keep your finger on the key hole while pushing down/pulling up on the rod firmly but gently....
5. you should feel the lock pop...when the rod is pushed/pulled in the correct direction....obviously, don't push/pull again since it will lock, again!....
6. grab handle, push button, open door!

 

I can't tell you how many times my wife has done this. Me being a cheap dude I got in it several times by my self with a hard rubber wedge and a small rod. I have since installed a magnet key holder inside the front bumper so she can unlock her self if ever needed and she has used that more times than I would like to know about.

 

...yeah, man....my better half did that too!....i got the magnet, but she would forget where we put the magnet on the truck!?!?!?.....anyways, i drive the truck now and the magnet is sitting on my work bench, not that i won't lock myself out!

 

I haven't locked myself out of a vehicle very many times, but enough times to know I don't like it... so I carry a spare door key in my billfold.

 

I've done it so often I carry two sets of keys...one in each front pocket. Heck, I live in the snow belt and I've locked the truck with the engine running more than once.

 

Well, it's always good to carry a spare key or two with you... on your person somewhere.
