If the car is locked and the keys are left inside, how to open the door? The question is not uncommon, and a solution usually has to be sought at the most inopportune time. Forgetting the keys in the car without disabling the auto-reset of the alarm is one of the most common reasons for calling a car lock-out service.
You can try to open a car door without a key on your own, especially if the car is not expensive - it’s easier to get “unauthorized access” with them.
Spare key, if available
The simplest and most obvious way to solve the problem: even if the battery in the spare alarm key fob has long since run out, you just need to open the door lock, and only then turn off the alarm using the key fob forgotten in the car with the keys. By the way, this is a good reminder not to carry your key fob on the same ring as your car keys. But this method will only work in one case - if the keys were locked in a car near the house, and were not left at the other end of the city or even further away.
If there is no spare key at all, do not forget to make a duplicate key in the future to insure against such situations.
How to open Granta
Have you ever found yourself in such an unpleasant situation as losing the key to your apartment or car? Ruthless statistics say that almost every inhabitant of planet Earth has found himself in a similar situation at least once in his life, naturally, if the resident had a car or an apartment. Of course, not all such cases are critical. But what if you are in a hurry for a meeting that is supposed to change your life? Or, having run out for a minute, you left a child, a wallet with money or documents in the car that are better to keep with you. The problem arises of how to open Grant.
In such situations, it is extremely necessary to maintain composure, since a competent specialist who performs emergency car openings will be able to do this without any problems. Of course, not all cars are opened in the same way. Many have seen in movies how a car thief uses a metal ruler to literally open the most expensive cars within a few seconds. But they didn’t show how to open the Lada Granta in the movies. The standard method will not work because her door locks are equipped with special steel protection. Therefore, you can open the car without damaging the structure and entering the interior only using a key or a special master key. If there is neither one nor the other, then he uses a tool specially designed for such cases, which is a special “noose loop”.
A plastic cushion is inserted into the gap between the door and the door post above the lock, which is inflated with air using a rubber bulb.
The process is very similar to measuring pressure with a standard dial tonometer. Next, the specialist inserts a loop into the enlarged opening and places it on the side door lock, the so-called “soldier”. Then he tightens the noose tightly, using a special guide tube for this, and pulls it up. And this whole operation takes only a few seconds, unless, of course, your hands are shaking and you manage to immediately throw a noose on the blocker. Since to open the Granta without damaging the structure by other means, this method can be considered optimal. In addition, the short time required for this operation allows, without bothering yourself with the question of how to open Granta , to minimize the various risks that a broken or lost key can cause.

Engage the central locking handle from the inside
A closed car is parked on the street, the keys are inside and out of reach - but the central locking handle is right in sight and stretches upward? Not the worst case - by pulling out the handle, you can safely unlock the door.
There are two ways:
Wire if the window is slightly open
To open a door with the glass slightly open, you will need half a meter or meter of strong, but at the same time flexible wire. This is the main problem - such wire is usually not lying around on the street. It’s easier if there is an electrical goods store nearby - a single-core copper cable for making hooks is perfect.
Having made the hook in such a way that it can be placed on the central locking button, but the loop rests against the head of the button, we carefully pass it into the interior and, guiding the wire with a bend, we hook the button. You cannot pull sharply - the hook will straighten without results, the force must be carefully measured.
When the car slams shut with the windows up, you can try to gently press the glass down. You need to press on the maximum possible area, with both palms, and at the same time, while applying pressure towards the interior, push the glass down.
Press the door if the glass is closed
The door seems strong and rigid, but it is not: the design allows, on many cars, without damage, to press it enough to get close to the central locking button. Without experience, we would recommend not to do this:
- The risk of damaging paint and bending metal is quite high, especially if you use improvised means rather than a special pad.
- On frameless doors (Subaru, some Mazda), it is not possible to press the door - there is no upper metal frame, to which the force is applied. If you try to press the door glass directly, you will have to look for a new one.
