How can a lockable trunk be unlocked from the outside?
Oops! Fortunately, as long as that isn’t locked, too, you can use the trunk release button or lever inside your car to open the trunk without a key.
The best approach to open the trunk if you’ve completely locked yourself out of the car is still through the cabin. To open your automobile door, you have two options: call a locksmith or use a slim jim.
Most auto parts stores sell slim jims, often known as lock picks. To utilize it to retrieve your keys from the trunk, follow these steps:
- Between the window and the window trim, press the pick down.
- With the pick, search the area for a rod.
- The automobile door should then open after using the pick to raise the rod.
- Now look inside your car for the lever or button that releases the trunk.
- To unlock the trunk, push or pull the lock.
Therefore, you have a few options if you’ve locked your keys in the trunk. If you’re locked out of the trunk as well, you can either use a slim jim by following the methods above, call roadside help, or open the trunk using the trunk release button or lever in the cabin.
