These things have locks? :D


JK, my main key really never leaves the vehicle, if it isn't in the ignition, it's in the center console cubby. I also have a key ring in my pocket at all times with one on it. If I'm out on a trip with a co-rider and for some reason it gets locked, I always make sure that both potential operators have a key before it get's locked. I also have the inflatable bladder and unlock rods (even glow in the dark!) and a full lock out kit but obviously I don't carry it.
 
Old school, easy method. Use a large screwdriver to gently pry out the top of the door. Bend a coat hanger thusly: After putting a small J in the end of it, Measure the hanger up against the window so the J hook is just long enough to reach the far side of the lock button. Put a 90 degree bend in the hangar exactly where the seam/opening in the door is. Stick in, pull up lock. You're welcome. Maybe 3 minutes, tops. Hardest part is finding a wire coat hangar!
