Dear friends, thank you for watching! Some of you expressed concern that this video may be used maliciously by thieves. - I personally have had my car broken into twice. Never had the thieves bothered to carefully unlock my car. They simply busted out my driver window and quickly took whatever was inside. This video is intended to help people unlock their cars without breaking anything (including the law or the bank ;) The window in the first car is down while I'm trying to unlock it because the glass is tinted and you can't see anything through it (I apologize for the lack of realism :)
this is very true, but also depends WHY people are trying to break in or steal, also depends if they wanna not make a nose that breaking a window will
I think I'm with you
the thieves won't use any of these methods it takes to long . they will most likely break a glass or your lock cylinder..
Nothing new here for car thieves, but then this only gets you into a car, it won't start it for u. Best technique for getting into a more modern car that isn't yours is using an RFID scanner to collect the remote opening code when someone parks. Set the code to a blank key fob and just open the car like you owned it. Still won't start the car, but seriously this wouldn't be teaching a real thief anything new(not even the ten year old ones).
I appreciate it, this is the 2nd time in 2 years my girlfriend has locked our keys in the car. I really don't want to call the non emergency number again because I do have the money for a locksmith this time but that's not where I really want to spend it.
Who else forgot there keys in the car🙋🏽♂️

My dude. We spent the last hour with a slim jim and coat hangers only to find out the shoe string method worked within 5 min. You're a God! Thanks man. Subbed.
Ayo!! I managed to steal over $400 dollars from my neighbor’s vehicle using this technique. Thank you so much! 💯
You’re a great neighbor…NOT!!!! Ahole
Wtf 😂😂😂
You're wanted by the police
I like how after 10 months I’m just now starting to revive notifications from this comment. 🤣
After 10 months your finally free
Getting locked out is a very stressful thing for everyone. Thank you so much for taking your time to do all of these three helpful tips to help us out.
Well it wasn't really stressful just annoying
yeah well i don’t have any of these materials so i’m fucked
The thieves would be thankful too.
Oooo thank you this was very helpful lucked my key and the shoe lace thing worked thank you
This is the edited version. The uncut version had 3 separate cops detaining him.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
lol
😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! I was able to use your shoe lace example to open the door on my 1986 Porsche 944. I also appreciate the clear explanation on how to make the slip knot!
😮
My daughter had her door open in less than 5 minutes (in 10 degree weather) thanks to you.
I was literally leaving work and i saw my keys in the back seat, my heart dropped
Good job
That’s What I just did this morning I’m at work rn but trying to find a way to get in there without calling a locksmith lol
Currently at work as well. Just locked myself out of my car on my way out!🤦🏽♀️😩
@@danaechantel lmao try the shoelace method it works
Hey just wanted to tell you that God and Jesus love you so much that God would send his one and only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins✝️Get a relationship with God and Jesus and repent for your sins.God and Jesus love you so much and are always with you
Thanks, I suddenly have 9 new cars in my driveway. Don’t know how they got there though

And maybe your new job should be roadside assistance

This video might be old but I just have to say thank you so much, I used the first tip with the shoe lace and I got it after a couple tries, you really saved me from so much anxiety and guilt. Thank you so much.
i just locked my keys in the car a few mintues ago and the shoe string (and butterknife lol) method worked great! it took me some time, maybe like 10ish minutes. at first it felt like the butterknife wasnt enough for the weather layer but i kept pushing downward until the shoe string finally squeezed in. the knot was kinda tricky, it kept loosening up on me, but after having to do it a few times in the process made me a pro at slip knots lol. the twisting the knot around tip worked for me 👍 which then proceeded with me finally unlocking my car. now i shall carry shoe string and a butterknife with me everywhere 😂. i am so grateful of you, you saved me money from not having to call a locksmith! thank you so much!!!
Impressed a girl with shoe lace techniques while she left her keys in her car. Im a superman and i had a free lunch 😂😂😂 Thanks pal ❤️
You saved my life this evening. Locked the key in an oldsmobile alero with the engine running. First thing I did was search Utube . Found your video real quick. Copied exactly what you did and I was in the car under two minutes!!! People watch this guy because what he does here actually works. You can pay a tow truck driver 112.00 dollars here in Vancouver or you can try these methods!!!
Thanks man. I used a wooden spatula to pry the door open a bit, and a steel wire with a loop at the end, took a long time and lots of patience but I got better at manipulating the wire and eventually got it over the door handle on the inside. 👍
1 hour ago I closed the door and my 22 old month son and my keys where inside the car, my car is a VW POLO from 1991 so I used the shoelice and knot methode , I managed to open my door in 10 min! So gratefull for this video!!
i did it on same car struck lucky 30 secs and in, never done it befor so some one loves me and you well done
All my office files got decrypted and recovered successfully by *BRAINN__TECH* on Instagram I highly recommend his work
I used a brick, took 1 min

Dude you rock this video was well done & the fact that you took the time to cover 3 options in a timely manner shows the utmost professionalism, thanks!
yea after todays adventure i should practice with the keys on the right side of the door or in my pocket being prepared is key.

This video is THE truth! I used the first method. I’m in awe & amazed at what I can do with the help of KZhead videos. Thanks SO much for sharing! ✌🏾
Worked like a charm with just a little string! Saved me $80 and took a couple minutes. Amazing.
Bro you fucking saved my life! Oh my god! I'm on a remote location and just finished camping. I left my car keys inside the car and locked myself out. My phone was completely drained and didn't know what to do! I tried to power on my phone the next morning and it worked! But it only had a little bit of 0% juice left. So i went straight to power saving mode as quick as possible went on to youtube, i searched how to unlock car and this video came up and clicked it right away. I saw the shoe lace technique before the phone completely died again. I tried and it worked! You fucking saved my life bro. I'm in the car now as of now and charging my phone using my car outlet. My god i thought i was a gonner. Shit, fuck, holy shit, motherfucker, i don't give a fuck if i cuss here. I'm just relieved!
Dude.........chilleee anyways
Lol nice !! Good karma , maybe .... I give to the homeless all the time , volunteer at shelters and worked wit non profit organizations, and there's been so many times where I'm dead broke , short on rent , low on food or can't pay a bill and something always happens where I get the money outta no where or some one helps me out ... Point is , I like to think that it's my good karma .... God works in mysterious ways ...
You can call 911 without having a phone plan. I'm not sure sbout other countries. Other countries emergency lines I mean.

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER. I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. The hanger loop method to pull the door handle worked on like the second try!!! Seriously, I can't thank you enough.
I just successfully performed the string technique on my jeep liberty!! Thanks to your guidance. The hardest part was making the loop thing 🙌
Just done the string trick.... got in my car within 5mins! So proud of myself 😊 Thanks for uploading this video 👌🏻
Best video ever. No sarcasm here. I actually went and checked all the doors again and one was open 😂 I had been trying a coat hanger for 15 minutes
You should be embarrassed.
How do i stop the alarm? For educational purposes obcourse☻
To stop the alarm, disconnect the battery after driving to your chop shop. Try not to attract attention!
@@3melendr592 hehehe...
🤣
Broooooo He said "FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES"😱🤣best comment so far🏆
Not for education for steeling car
Really like the shoelace method - it uses one of my favorite knots. Great vid - excellent narration. Me, I carry a spare key all the time. I rented a car once and they gave me ALL the many keys they had for the vehicle, on one welded wire loop - I couldn't take one off for a spare, and they wouldn't have one, either.
I drive a box truck around the country and locked my keys in my truck. I just used your shoe string trick with an old electric cord. You saved my job man! Thank you!!
The best video I found so far for unlocking locked cars. Most do not take the time to explain what we are actually doing which helps dramatically! Thanks.
You are a literal life saver. Started crying and panicking while watching and the shoe lace method literally worked. CRAZY
I ran into this video tonight because of an emergency and the first option truly works! Left a car running to warm up with driver door closed, but after a couple of minutes the locks randomly kicked in and I was screwed. A traditional flat shoe lace is what will only work. Follow the instructions with lots of patience with a really tight knot and you should hopefully pull it off too. It saved me lots money instead of calling a locksmith and I've also learned a new trick. So thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! I got locked out of my car yesterday and looked up this video. I used my shoe lace and two butter knives to help me pull and keep the door open. I then proceeded to fit the shoelace through the door. It might be difficult at first but make sure you open your door enough to make the shoe lace easily go through. This video saved me hella money!!!
I'm waiting for his next video: "How to Get Money Out of a Bank Without an Account"
LoL
Lawton Fishing 😂👍😂
Lol...please share when u find one
😂😂
im sure someone will try to figure that out.
I was brought here out of need and the first one with the shoe string helped me get my granny's car unlocked! I had to improvise by tying a piece of thin wire onto the middle of the shoestring because the slipknot kept closing as I slid it in, however I made a little loop out of wire and secured it into the middle of the string, then slipped it through, did a very small amount of fishing and I had the knob pulled up!! Thanks for making this vid!
Hi, how thin was the wire?
@@velvetstorm4563 about the width of an angel hair pasta. Thin enough to get slipped through between the door jamb and the weather stripping but ridgid enough to hold a loop.
Seriously appreciate this video. Had no idea my 2005 auto locked when the keys were inside. Was about to change my oil and figured it'd be fine to leave them, but instead I had a little unlocking adventure 😅 (The manual even says watch out! "You may have to damage vehicle in order to retrieve keys") Embarrassing and stressful, but this video seriously helped me out of a tough spot and proved to my bf you don't always have to call a locksmith. Very glad this was high up on the search list. Well deserved!!

@@Grubusss Hope everything turned out alright! (And without any harm to your '87!)
@@sunshinem.7741 after a big struggle me and my dad got it open, sadly tho we scratched the paint a little but nothing more than a 10 minute fix. Thank's for good wishes, but i would never guess this technology is actually this old.
Your rope technique saved me. Thank you so much for adding to the community this way!
Many thanks for this! Was a bit skeptical about the hanger method, but I did managed it in an hour with a metal wire. You saved my vacation!
This video is really good. One note, always unlock from the passenger side. There is a lot less wires and mechanisms on that side. Another great trick is to take one of your wiper blades off and see if there is a small strip of metal in it. If there is, take the metal out and you can slip in to the door lock at 6 oclock as if looking at a watch. It is easier as well as use it to slip under the lock and sweep left or right and catch the mechanism. The wiper blade or your antennae is cheaper than calling someone to come out to unlock your car. Both are cheap to replace. Another thing you can try is each window. Gently take your hand , palm down and gently drag down on the glass with medium pressure. Sometimes there is enough slack to get a tool or hanger from the top.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Got😊😂vbn
Thank you so much! Locked keys in the trunk and didn’t have a spare key to unlock the car. The string method really worked! This video saved us a bunch of money
An AMAZING video, some simple but easy to follow tips that really helped me out of a jam! Thanks!!! 😊
Thank you so much. I was able to get my truck unlocked with the shoelace trick in about 15 minutes. Thanks, saved me a ton of money and headache and I’m able to go to work today without getting a ride. Saved the day
After 2 hrs, i just threw a rock into my window. Worked like a charm
Yep, smash and grab is the way to go
G Fax bro
Haha. I was thinking of that option too
Thank you so incredibly much for this video! It took some time to get the hang of it, but the shoelace technique eventually worked for me.
thank you so much I've been stressed out. jus bought a vehicle and locked my keys in it. after reading comments I'm hopeful and about to go try the string method. ❤
I used the exact same antenna that you referenced. The trouble was the second I triggered the unlock switch, the lock would immediately relock itself as a counter measure. So I had a friend stationed at the door handle and instructed him to pull the handle as soon as he heard me trigger the unlock.
Thanks man! You explained it so carefully with all the aspects, sucseeded quiclky in first attempt with cotton string (no lace, but it worked perfectly thanks to your explanations and tip for twisting the loop!!) Thanks again! Very helpful!!
Shoelace trick is genius. Got it in under 5 minutes. Saved me from breaking a window, sir!
THANK YOOOOUUU!!! left my keys in my trunk at the beach, I used the tie string around my son's surf shorts and after enough tries got my door unlocked! Thank God for this video!!! I can't believe it worked! Highlight of my year lol
Thank you man. If it wasnt for this video I would never have gotten back into my truck. Saved a work life today bro
ye haha
The 1st trick saved me. On a mercedese glk 2015, took me 2hours of creativity. Indeed it's d sweetest sound on earth at dat moment, wen u hear d door unlock, thanks a mil sir.
Thank you brother, i just fixed a problem after watching your video, thanks a lot from Iraqi Kurdish 👍👍👍
Your explanations are so helpful because you show and explain how things work. You offer ideas to use your imagination. And you're calm. It's much harder to learn something when I'm stressed. Very helpful. Thx.
2 years later and this video was a life saver!!!! My husband left the car keys inside the car and the car on! For almost 2 hours him and my dad were trying to open it. I came outside and KZheadd it and your video was one of the first ones and I tried the shoe lace one and it worked!!!! Thank you so much!
Def best and most thorough video out there! Thank you for taking the time.
My 8y old son locked car keys in the boot today. Your first shoe lace idea worked, just took me 30min to manuevre arrount the bolt. Fiat punto. Thank you! Saved me money on locksmith emergency
A handy tool is metal wire from a fence. It is more rigid than coat hanger. It is much longer, you can even attempt to reach the door in the other side. There is fences like that everywhere. The only difficulty is starting to remove one wire without tool. And not get caught if the owner of that fence is around. The zigzag shape often helps to position the metal piece.
Locked out of my car for two days, your video carefully and visually explained how to get my locked car open. Method 3 did the trick for me. Thank you so much man, your explainer lifted a load of stress and frustration.
I live on a farm and am far away from a locksmith. I really need my truck and I did what you said after explaining the interior of the locking system. Thank you so much
The shoe lace trick worked best for me! No scratch to your paint! I have a 2016 Ford explorer sport! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Omg y’all we just spend a good hour trying to the the hanger one! 🤬 nooooo I did the shoe lace one and got it open!!!!! Thank you! You saved me $70!!!!!
I just unlocked my car due to leaving my keys in the car and I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am you posted this video, thank you and I appreciate your video 👍🏽
You're great bro! Just hope thieves are NOT watching this video!
Those are great tips and I have three vehicles and they have three different ways to unlock the vehicles too. I was stuck in New Mexico once while driving to California at a rest stop and forgot to take my keys out after parking and had to get help from another driver to get into my car. After that I made sure my keys was in my pocket before locking my vehicle.
You’re a life saver! Got into my car with a shoestring in less than 10 minutes! Thank you!
No ooo n I nko
Just wondering, does that make the car alarm go on?
saved me so much money, i’m 17, about to be 18 (i know) and it’s trail and error, but it really worked out for me, and i can’t even thank you enough!!
Enjoy your walking trails!
Wow you're right! All this money I saved to buy a car, I can just choose one out the walmart lot?
Tried the shoelace method and now I have my keys, thank you so much! It really does work! 😄🙂
Who else is here because their wife locked her keys in her car and wants them to open it lol
I saved almost 80 bucks with this video it took me a like 20 min with the string but I got it done thank you so much your a great teacher

I just locked my car with the key inside today, thankfully youtube recommended your video. Really a great help. 😂
Thanks for the video . I am a retired professional Locksmith ,but I still carry my tools around ,to help people once in awhile . But sometimes even I get locked out of my vehicle and my locksmith tools are locked in side and can't get to them . You have shown me a way that even I didn't know how to get into my vehicle so easy . Thanks , cause lately in the last six months or so I have locked myself out of my vehicle at least four or five times and people come up to see if I need them to call a Locksmith and I have to tell them that I am a Locksmith and that is pretty embracing . And have to tell them that my keys and Locksmith tools are locked in the vehicle and I will get in side shortly . I have an older vehicle that doesn't have those electronic systems or buttons or clickers . So thanks . You showed me a way to get into my vehicle that I didn't learn in locksmith school .
Where is locksmith school and tool locksmith give you
Thank you for taking the time to make a very helpful video. Great job!
Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for uploading this video. I lock my car keys in the car last night and only found out this morning. I had a wire hanger ready, but a quick search on you-tube I came across your video and decided to try out your first method where you used a shoe lace. I used a piece of string instead. After a few failed attempt when I was pulling the string too fast and the loop would pop out as the string twisted on the pull, I was finally successful on the fifth attempt. I think it took me less than 15 mins and no damage to the car door or the seal. So just wanted to say Thank You 🙏
This is like the only video I found that was extremely useful!! Thank you SO SO SO much!
The rope thing worked out like magic. I'm so happy I didn't have to mess up my car to get my keys. Thank you sir
I feel like SUCH a badass! That shoelace trick worked in seconds!!!!

I have to admit when I saw the shoestring method I was like YEAH RIGHT. However thirty minutes of trying later and I got in my car and don’t have to shell out money for pop a lock. Thank you! I actually used yarn
I owned a 2010 Dodge Charger saw this video first and was lucky enough to see my car be one of the three to be shown as an example the shoe lace method helps as I didn’t do any damage to my vehicle or the paint and I am satisfied and relieved!
Thank you - the nylon string worked ! Saved locksmith money & waiting time
THANK YOU SO MUCH! My son locked his keys in his Jeep Compass and the shoe string worked very well. Thank you!!!
