my battery died out in my truck so obviously it wouldn't unlock...my lock had gummed up as well so my key wouldn't turn without snapping. We called a locksmith and he used this inflatable bag to pry the door open, it was pretty sweet. It was like 4 oclock, and I was at my buddies house drinking brews on the porch. He told us he was on his way home when the dispatch called, so we offered him some beers and he did it for free! He was a cool guy.

if i was butt naked on a county road i would use a rock to unlock the door haha...

on a side note...i was pulled over naked one time. i thought i was smoothe until i had to ask my girlfriend to get my wallet out of my pants that were in the passenger side floorboard. my jacket was laying in my lap hahahahaha. the cop was cool though and didnt ask too many questions.

we told him that we were back there "talking".

Me too. If you never take the key out of your pocket to start the vehicle it is always there.

I keep 1 set hooked up to my chair. and the other set stashed away in the truck that I use to start it with.

My truck locked me out a couple of weeks ago . Right before I did anything stupid, I remembered On-Star*

Sucks when your keys are in the ignition, you close the door then hear the horn honk and the locks lock

that is bogus, bout like being able to cut a hole in a tennis ball and squeeze it to unlock the door, it's all bull that someone did a video on just to have something to post up on you tube. it looks cool but I watch video's like this.... if it seems really fantasctic or too Awesome then it's probably bogus. it's a nice idea but doesn't work at all. The best Idea I have found yet is a buddy of mine bolted a spare door key for his truck to the inside of the truck frame and he always carries a multitool in his back pocket so if the situation ever comes that he needs to use the key even if no one else around has any tools he has a way to get his key and get in

I used to lock my keys in my 87 Mazda SE5 truck i had all the time and I learned that I could pull the back window out really easily by hand. Putting it back in was usually a little fun but I even got pretty practiced at doing that pretty well too and it was just something else to do when I got locked out again. I don't think that would work all that well on the newer trucks but it was just the ticket back then. The key bolted to the frame however was just a very smart deal. Another friend magnatized his key and wire tied it to the frame where it couldn't be easily found.
