KE25_rolla Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Silly me has only just got the car with one key and I've locked it inside after finishing work on it. Any ideas how to get into it without damaging anything. New paint and overrated chrome so don't want to hurt anything. Interior lock is in a bitch of a place so can't get to it with wire. Tried a few other keys but no such luck. Cheers Quote
Jono.C Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Pay a sketchy looking bloke hanging around to break in for you. :P You can usually get in with packing tape, wire or worn keys/ keys from around the same era.. besides that I'm not sure short of scissors or a screwdriver Quote
It's_AUDM_Yo Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Screw driver and hammer. Just belt it till its really far in and turn it. Probably a last resort though. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Get a plastic milk bottle and cut the top and bottom off it, flatten it and wedge it between the door and door jam so half is inside the car and half out. You may need to pry the top of the door a bit so slip it in, use a wooden or plastic wedge. Once its in you can push something inside the bottle to wedge the door open and also slip things through to try hook the lock button without damaging the paint. Get an old coat hanger and bend one end in to a loop so it can slip over the lock button neck then pull up. If you get what I mean. If you need pictures let me know and Ill demonstrate on peanut.

KE25_rolla Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Posted September 25, 2012 Cheers for all the tips guys - Have tried a few of them however the 25 has a side mounted lock which is positioned on the door handle. This makes it extremely hard to get anything onto as you cannot see it. Also it takes a bit just to pull it out with your fingers, let alone using wire or something alike :( The lock is per this pic.

Jono.C Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 So drop a wire down the door between the window and door (from the outside) and push down? (From memory) on the lock.. th external lock not the interior door one Quote
KE25_rolla Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Posted September 25, 2012 will go give it a try now....... Quote
KE25_rolla Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Posted September 25, 2012 Jono.C - Former juvenile delinquent? lol..... Wire didn't work but can confirm that scissors did. I worry for my 25's safety now! Quote
