How to Unlock Your Vehicle

If you have locked your key inside your vehicle in Nashville TN and have the correct equipment, you can unlock your vehicle yourself. If not, we can help. Here is some information on how we can help or do it yourself.

Insert a plastic wedge at the uppermost rear corner of the front doorframe. Each vehicle will be a little different but start the wedge into the door gap and use the wedge to pry out the door frame enough to see where the weatherstrip contacts the body. Tapping the wedge with the heel of the hand, carefully guide the wedge between the weatherstrip and the body. Continue inserting the wedge until there is enough gap to easily insert the tool. LUBRICATE THE WEDGE WITH WINDEX OR MILD DETERGENT. Insert the wedge at the uppermost rear corner of the door frame. The wedge should be inserted 2/3rds into the car. If obstructed by weatherstripping, a plastic or wood wedge may assist. With experience, the wedge will enter most cars without assistance. Inflate the wedge to allow insertion of the unlock tool.

Next, insert the unlock tool into the vehicle interior and use the tip of the Tool to manipulate the electric lock button, the sliding lock button, or the door opening handle. If the bend in the tool is not sufficient, remove the Tool and adjust the bend to the required configuration for the vehicle at hand. Note: The tool can often be used to tilt the inside rearview mirror to view a lock slider or door handle not directly visible from the working position. If you still can't get inside your vehicle, please call Nashville Roadside Assistance at (615) 779-3275.
