3. Opening car without a key but with a screwdriver.
Unlocking your car lock without a key is possible. Indeed, you need only a screwdriver. It is a commonly used solution and is therefore often named on various forums. Be aware that you will undoubtedly damage the car. Choose a screwdriver when the need is high. One of these forums discussed this solution:
“Take a flat sharp screwdriver, put it diagonally under the lock in that black protruding lock body and give it a blow. And virtually without damage, your lock is open.”
“Get a towel and a screwdriver, put the cloth against the paint and push the door open with the screwdriver.”
“First of all, pulled off the rubber edge and then using the other door as a guide, estimated where the button should be. Thin screwdriver was fretted in between and pushed the knob down.Tadaaa… minor scratches on the inside of the door near the child lock knob, but I don’t care. The door just opens from the inside again and that’s the most important thing.”
