Well it happened once again. I locked my keys in the Honda Civic.

I have a 1983 civic hatchback.

How do I get in without breaking a window out?

I tried the coat hanger but no luck so far. I stuck it between the window and door frame but cannot seem to find anything.

Where do I stick it and what do I pull on?

Please no sarcasm, teasing, or name calling. Thanks.

The extra set of keys is in the glove box so if I lost my keys when away from home I would have a spare. 2 keys both inside car. yep.

Joe.

 

First, put spare keys, in your house or under your car.
If you go with under the car, then only put a key that unlocks the doors, rather than one that starts the car.
You're on the right track to getting in your car.
Power locks? or tabs next to the handles? posts?
what type of locks?

 

Call the locksmith.

 

no power locks
tabs next to inside handle.
no posts at top.
rubber seals on door are very tight.

 

you need to use a wedge (door stop, ice scraper wrapped in a wash cloth or something similar so you don't mess up thepaint)to prop the door open just enough to slip a hanger in there
then use the hanger to pull or push the tab to unlock the door.
I used to work for enterprise rent a car and we had to do this daily

 

Yeah hondas are pretty easy to break into, so you should be able to pry the door open a little and get the hanger to open the lock

 

yeah, call a locksmith, they will most likely use the wedge technique and only cost youat least35 bucks (and is even covered under insurance in some cases)

 

if you have AAA theyll do it for free if not go to youtube they will instruct you

 

I have not tried the wedge yet. thanks. I assume this wedge goes in above the window and I am bending the top of the door frame out out a little.

 

correct, and it's not pretty because sometimes the frame is all out of wack until you try and bend it back.
