Hi,

My gf's sis has locked her keys in her Ka, No spare to boot

Any bright ideas other than smashing window?

Not sure if this is sort of thing that should be publicised. pm if you like

cheers


Martin.

dunno but i'd suggest you phone the local breakers before you smash any glass, as they are bound to have the opposite side to what you smash!

bend door back slightly..

To bend it back get a big screw driver wrap it in a towl and shut door on it at the base of window frame.

Push the top of the door and bend to suit- with care you should get it back perfectly and leave no marks.

Does the car have central locking with a remote? Do you have a spare remote somewhere else?

I believe if you call up a person who has access to the second remote on a mobile phone, and then hold the mobile phone near the car, and they push the remote, the doors will unlock. I’ve never tried it, but worth a go.

has it got electric windows?

If not, I have manged to put 3-4 kitchen knives flat against the window, then pushed them up under the seal of the window, then lift them up, leavering the window down a little until I could get my fingers in, then used my hands to pull the window down.

Worked for me

Morning - thanks for replies.

I pulled door out with my bare hands then unhooked latch with some welding rod - piss easy & rather alarming!

Pushed frame back leaving no marks whatsoever.

It was the only key she had & locked it in the boot - doh!

thanks fro replies


Martin.
