It doesn’t surprise me. There are also people who willingly drive around in those little box minivan type things where the back window is off center. Yknow wut is talking about?
My nephew is visiting and he just started his car about an hour ago, gets out to clean the ice off the window and locks the door behind him lol. So he's havin' a fit about how much it's gonna be to call the garage and get a guy to come out ... I come in the house and search youtube, find this video and within 15 minutes we got it open ... in a snowstorm to boot ... THANKS from Canada dude!!
+Pudsy440 Glad I could help! It's amazing me how many people have replied with praises and thank yous. I wasn't expecting this when I made this video years ago!
He showed us this with good intentions. Showing us how to get our keys from inside our locked cars...sadly people misuse this information to steal from others :/
This video just helped me in a big way this morning. I started the car and left it running to warm the engine. And the door got locked. This was the first it has ever happened. We tried without success to get car assistance from the insurance company for 40 minutes. When that didn't work I finally came here and found this. It took only a few minutes after to open the car. Thank you! My wife was an hour late for work and my son reached school on time for his final examination. This video helped. I know there are people who use it negatively, which is very unfortunate but this was a very positive help for us in our time of need.
I literally just did this a month ago before work an was running for q hour before I could get into my car because I had no wire hangers only plastic ones 🙃 what a day
yo man! i did it just now with my friend's car. He left the key inside and the door got auto locked by itself. So it took almost an hour for the both of us to break in. Lost in ways, so i decided to search videos in TH-cam, the first thing i saw was ur video, i watched it, tried it on my friend's car, and it worked!!!!!! Thanks a lot man!!!!!
Man. I locked myself out of my car, and my condo keys were in my 3rd story condo. I climbed the balconies to get in the sliding glass door to watch videos of how to use a coat-hanger to unlock the door, then realized I had 3 spares in a shoebox. Made me feel smart.
Hey I just want to take the time to thank you. You have no idea how stressful it was when I realized that my '84 chevy ignition key isn't the same as the door key... Which I thought was a spare ignition key... As I locked the door for the first time because I had actual valuable inside of the truck I realized that I had left the lights on... I went to unlock and the key wouldn't work... I had to go to a very important meeting at my highschool and I called and told I would be late. I knew I would have to use a hanger of some sort so I have my brother a call. After calling him and asking if he could bring me a hanger he said he was too busy when we live about 4 minutes away from where I was at. I then called my Dad and didn't get an answer. I was just pissed that my brother couldn't do me a simple favor when this whole week I've been letting him use MY car to go to work because of his car being in the shop. I was just angry at him and finally I called a friend who just about 2 weeks ago left his keys inside of his car and he gave me a wake up call at about 1 and asked if I could help him out and bring a flashlight hanger and flat head. I left immediately as soon as I put some clothes on and contacts in. I guess karma doesn't work that way. Well I called my friend and luckily he works at a dry cleaners and said he would be on his way as soon as he got off work. He came after about 30 minutes and yes I was a little bummed out that he couldn't stay to help me because he had family plans I thanked him and told him how much it meant. Well after he left I tried to use the hanger to open the door and I had no idea what I was doing since it was an older vehicle. 3 hours pass after deciding to just deal with it after my meeting and I'm stuck looking for numbers for locksmiths not wanting to pay their $30 appointment fee and $30 and up labor fee I was just in a mess I was ultimately deciding on just whatevering It and getting the locksmith and being down $60 but then as I was on the phone with the company I hung up telling them I would call them back and watched your video. Getting the hanger and doing it under 15 minutes What a relief it was. Now all I have to do is jump the battery and I'll be home. Thank you so much. As you can tell its been a long night and I'm ready for bed thank you again.
Thanks you so much man. You saved me a 100 bucks or so. Used this on my old 2001 Proton Saga (a car from Malaysia). Just nugged and wigged it for an hour and it opened :D
hey man, I had locked my car with the key inside and I used your technique to unlock the door. After some attempts, which took me 1 hour more or less, I got it. Thanks a lot, otherwise I'd have to spend at least $ 150 to locksmith.
Thanks so much just opened my Totoyo echo now while watching you video locked keys in and didn't have a coat hanger lucky my neighbour had one. Took a couple of goes as i was using the wrong end of hanger until i watched your video again and saw you use that curly bit that you unwind from hook it worked a treat was awesome when i heard it unlock cheers i am 65 years old so if i can do anyone care just be patience.
watched this this morning after having endless attempts at the back door as my central locking locked after i started to warm my car up on a frosty morning after watching this realized it needs to be the side with the key in front passenger side only on mine so 1st attempt and boom door opened brilliant video :)
Dude thank you so much I travelled 150 km to tow one of my cars and when got there realized I have forgotten the keys. Just went out through your video and solved the issue thanks again
I am a broke ass college student and i got my key locked in there this was the most easiest video and I got my car open in like less than 2 minutes I jumped and I was so excited thank you so so much
Mannnnnn I'm telling you now this video saved my life lol the only difficult part was finding out where my lock was but after that it was easy as hell.
I'm no locksmith, but 1- The corkscrew end of your contraption will damage the rubber...and rain will come inside. 2- Once I've cut the wire and shaped the cut end to ensure a smooth entry and exit, I would insert it into the vertical part of the doorframe, minimizing rain water due to rubber damage. Thanks for the video; many people will use it.
@@Brian-bc8ds the guy isn't active video wise, just pointing out that the critique was probably coming from not even bothering to check the upload date or description.
OMG its works I open my car the key was inside my cool car thank you ur the best I unlock my car and I find the key finally thank you 1000000000000 subscribers :D
It didn’t occur to me to use the hook side. I initially tried folding the end to create a loop, but that didn't work as I couldn't get a proper grip on the lock to pull it up; it would just slide against it. After watching this, I see how the hook side works with its ribbed texture, enabling me to grip it securely as I pulled it up. Thanks for this video!
Locked my keys in my car once. There were a few guys with me and it's hilarious how we got in. We were actually able to pry the door open just by wedging our fingers in and tugging at the top and I reached down and unlocked it. We just pushed the door to, pushed the metal back in place with our bare hands and presto, never had a problem with the door or anything, lol. Thinking back it was a bad idea, but it worked and it's a bit of a big flaw.
It's lucky that I carry a coat hanger everywhere I go. They also come in handy for the odd emergency abortion that needs taking care of and picking your nose on a long bus journey. Any other coat hanger usage suggestions appreciated, comment below!
nice one bro,actually I lock keys in our car today so this is my first time after having feed of sushi son was hungry after his surgery, as we finished feed I've notice that I don't have key's sure enough keys lock in car,Kmart was across the road ran over got sum coat hanger,came back did actually says two 2s bop son was happy
Thanks for this video ,,I'm bad about locking my keys in my car,,my daughter just locked hers in now guess we will try this video... I just bought two dozen of wire hangers. ,
cool. tried this on black Friday at target parking lot. got me Xbox n ps4 games and consoles 2 laptops 5 phones and 1 wallet that had 40 dollars. Christmas miracle
Friend was about to bust his window after an hour trying to open his car door when he locker the keys inside. I sent him this video and it took him less than 5 mins to get it open!
Instead of using a wire hanger which may be a bit tricky to use as it requires tilting it to get it at the right angle and can be difficult to squeeze between the window glass and door, I would opt for a two-inch wide, one-foot long, 18-gauge/1 mm thick strip of sheet metal or plastic and cut a round one-inch diameter hook-like notch on the side of the strip near the tip you will be inserting. All you need to do is slide the strip up and down near the door knob until it hooks onto the locking rod, after which you pull upward while tugging on the door handle to get the door unlocked. While this custom made tool may not work on all vehicles, I once opened in a matter of seconds, the door of a vehicle which a tow truck operator took over an hour to accomplish with a wire hanger.
in these cars just take a flat screw or knive put imside the keyhole deep in and pull up a litlle and you gonna see that the security pin is going up the end
oh yes the coat hanger works ........... jus did it this morning at my office and it worked ..... it was easy cause i have an older car ..... tht means its easier for my car to get stolen
Thx for helping break into my car friend left it on and running and I was like fuck idk what to do sure enough ur vid was number one and the only one I needed so thx man
10 years ago and is still helping people today. Just used this, worked like a charm.
I just locked my keys in my car, and came across this video and it actually worked. God bless you.
I'm AMAZED! AMAZED that there was someone brave enough to not only admit they own a Festiva, but posted video proof of ownership! (lol)

That's really his neighbors car, that's why he looked over his shoulder at the start of video.😂👍👏
Almost found the adress need the street now!!
I loved my Festiva! I'll own another one some day! This one is long gone.
It's long gone now. I traded it for a scooter...heard the engine blew up a couple months later. :(
It doesn’t surprise me. There are also people who willingly drive around in those little box minivan type things where the back window is off center. Yknow wut is talking about?
Worked great. Popped the lock and got my wife out in a couple of minutes.

It worked thank God the passenger window was slight down so it was easier to use the hanger
Instead of using a wire hanger which may be a bit tricky to use as it requires tilting it to get it at the right angle and can be difficult to squeeze between the window glass and door, I would opt for a two-inch wide, one-foot long, 18-gauge/1 mm thick strip of sheet metal or plastic and cut a round one-inch diameter hook-like notch on the side of the strip near the tip you will be inserting.

You save my life thanks for the video
in these cars just take a flat screw or knive put imside the keyhole deep in and pull up a litlle and you gonna see that the security pin is going up the end
It helps if your car is falling apart, and you can just lift off half the window seal already. It pays to have a junker.
oh yes the coat hanger works ........... jus did it this morning at my office and it worked ..... it was easy cause i have an older car ..... tht means its easier for my car to get stolen
that festiva use the handle of spoon with a slight curve on it slide in window and press down.. I used to do this faster then using keys missing mine
Thanks! But um… what do I do about the cars with red and blue lights? They won’t stop following me
i’m finna try this on my 1999 fiat 600, i’mma let you know if this worked or not in a few hours
nvm didn’t work, i’m buying a kit on amazon and hoping for it to work
I just got in my car thanks so much
Thanks so much! It was a sigh of relief. Definitely works.
Glad it helped!
Another way is to get a hook on the window winder and pull it around until you have enough room to reach in and undo the car lock.
Thanks a lot man.. It really worked for me today.
It worked great got my Rolex out of my Festiva!!🤘😝
Automatic seat belt baby! Haha thanks for the video
