I'm in a dilly of pickle right now, and i was wondering if u guys could help. my dad locked his keys in the car, and i dont want him to have to pay the 30 bucks for a locksmith. does anyone in here know how to unlock a 1992 Chevy S10?

Yes, some of us do.

No, we can't tell you.

Automotive opening techniques are not allowed on the general forum. Nor are they allowed via PM or e-mail.

While I sympathize with your problem, we have no way of knowing if you are genuine, nor what may be done with the information.

Therefore, there is no discussion of auto openings.

You're gonna have your poor father sit without a car while you wait for a solution to your post?

Unlocking any car requires skill, and the right tools. Based on the nature of this post, I assume you posses neither. Just call your local PD or a locksmith. Sometimes the police will Jimmy your door open for free (if it doesn't have electric locks).

You shouldn't expect that we can give you any advice that would allow you to open your car, and car makers don't want to make locks that can be breached by anyone with 15 minutes of experience.

Anyway, good luck in your travels!

well i dont see how theres anymoer liability with an auto mobile than a padlock, seeing as a thief could come in here asking how to open a certain padlock in order to rob a house. but anyways, thanks for reading.

Well the padlock company cant be liable if a single Master lock is all that you have blocking access to your home.

Locks are idiot-proofed, and you must use your brain when deciding what level of security you want and where to place it.

That being said, cars are worth many thousands of dollars. That amount should be enough to warrant at least a halfway decent lock mechanism and a fair amount of security in the doors/ windows. Automotive opening techniques are something that can be used for serious criminal activity, and can't be shared with everyone. Please, as I stated before, call your local locksmith or police department, you may even get a break.

Picking requires that you can feel what you are doing, and that you understand how the lock works. It takes time to develop the skill.

If you know what tool to use, where to put it, and what to do with it, a few minutes practice will get most cars open. Depending on the make and model.

Not to mention the fact that most houses are not mobile like cars are.

I really wish we could help you, but in this case a friendly police officer may be your best bet.

There are alot of folks asking about cars etc these days. If the knowledge were so common that anyone walking the street could open your car door, or turn your ignition switch, there would be no real point in having them locked now would there?
It is a generalization that locks only keep honest people out, but if they are really honest...... why are they jiggling your door handle?

I have an easy and cheap solution. Car windows are really quite hard to break (I just demolished my old car Heheheh) But a good old fashioned brick will go right through it Just put some ol' elbow grease into the throw and whamo, car is open. Of course I hope your in a warm climate. Good luck! -Jay

Sorry I guess I should mention that it's only cheap if you don't want the window anymore. But then if you gonna go this way might as well pay for a lockie. =0) -Jay

I once chose to break a window when I locked my keys in the boot. I was on holiday and in a remote National Trust car park at the farthest tip of Cornwall at 5pm on a Friday. It was the end of the day and I wanted to get back to my hotel, so I decided to break a rear quarter light to get in. Even with a big rock, it was way harder than I expected.

Funny thing was, there were people walking past me while I was trying to smash the window, and completely ignoring me!

Anyhow, it saved me waiting around ages for someone to come and rescue me, and I was able to get the window replaced the following day at my convenience. If I had known who to call, I probably would have tried that, but when in the middle of nowhere without a cell phone or a yellow pages, it's not so easy.
