Help! I locked my keys and need to get ther rig opened.... (1 Viewer)

[Yotatron]

Does anyone have any ideas on what is the easiest way to get the truck unlocked.

I don't have a spare nor do I have AAA.

The key I have locked barely works and is prob not the original key either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure if it's 1) sitting in your driveway or 2)outside your mistresses house and her husband is on the way home.
If it's 1) go to the dealer with title and have them cut you a couple new keys which will also work much better than your original, if it's 2) grab big rock and throw it at the rear passenger window.

I leave my rear sliding Windows unmatched just for this instance... Has saved me numerous times, especially when going swimming or doing something where I don't want my keys in my pocket and want the vehicle to appear to be "locked up"

Then put a hidden key in the frame somewhere.

Typically you can get something in there. The spring isn't that strong and only needs to move a little bit.

Slide a #14 gauge solid copper wire between the sliders and hook the latch, pull
When you are done invest in a spare key and a piece of duct tape.

Here is what I do with all my rides:
Go get a factory key cut at Dealership.
Take that to a lock shop and have about 3-4 copies made. This way they are crisp.
Hide a magnetic key underneath.

You can get keys with chip (have a dot on metal part of key) for about $14 on Ebay.

How much does the dealer typically charge for a new key?

I had two VIN cuts done at the local dealer last week. $12 each and I believe that was just the list price of the key blank.

Thanks. Were those the metal head keys or black head? Not that it really matters. I have 3 keys and 2 were locksmith cut I think so they are worn down and don't like to open the doors.

They have a black plastic coating on the top. I may carve it off because makes the key much wider than it needs to be and takes up too much space on my key ring.

Great IF you have door locks with a big knob on the end. Virtually NONE of my vehicles do.

I had 2 cut at the dealer off the vin a while back. It was $10 for me for both.
When I was doing my remote start and alarm install a few years back I locked my keys in the truck. I managed to get the hood popped using a metal coat hanger a flashlight and a lot of obsenities. Then I removed the grommet near the driver side inner fender and used a coat hanger taped to a fiberglass pole from an ATV flag to get in there and unlatch the door. Had to tape the pole at the last few inches of hanger like an extension... Constantly re-adjusted the hanger until I could hook the latch.

I was charged $5 for a VIN key, but then found out that the PO had changed the locks. So it's not foolproof, but it is absolutely the way to go first if all you have is two worn out copies.

(Then invest in aftermarket keyless entry)

Rear windows is the easy way.
