I Left My Keys Inside My Car! How Do I Get Back In?

Do not be disheartened when you hear the words “I left my keys inside my car” coming out of your mouth. For some of you, this may be unfamiliar territory, so it makes sense if you are a little confused and panicked, but I assure you that there is a remedy to your problem, and you will get back in your car in no time.

I truly sympathize with what you’re going through because I know that even the most typical car lockout can be stressful. I would like to assure that you will not be locked out of your car or locked out of your trunk for the entirety of your day because there are solutions that will help you get your car keys from inside your vehicle.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, you should know that saying “I left my keys inside my car” does not make you, in any way, an irresponsible driver. It simply makes you human, since this is something that can happen to even the best of us. Now let’s begin to explore how this situation comes about, and how you can successfully navigate it. It always helps to explore causality of a problem so that the right solution can be reached.

What do I do if I left my keys inside my car?

First off, It helps to take some time to assess how you ended up in this predicament. Similar to the way a home security assessment helps you solve any security flaws, assessing your vehicle will help you handle the situation fluidly.

Essentially, you should not dive into trying to get your keys out of your car without figuring out how or why you locked your keys in your car in the first place. Not only does this help you choose the best solution to get your keys out, but it also helps prevent you from repeating the same mistake in the future. It is very easy to wind up leaving your keys inside your vehicle, all it takes is one forgetful moment to throw your entire day off.

For instance, let’s say you are unloading groceries from your car and you place your keys down to carry something. There is a very high possibility that you might end up leaving your keys on the seat and locking them inside the car.

It is important to be aware that not every solution which will be discussed below is best suited to unlocking your car and giving you access to your car keys. For example, if you are saying “I left my keys inside my car”, in the midst of an emergency, a slow DIY approach might not necessarily benefit you as much as reaching out to the police or to a qualified emergency locksmith. Here are some of the solutions you can take advantage of.

In a nutshell, once you realize that your keys have been left inside your car, you should immediately begin looking for a solution that helps you get you back in your car and in touch with your car keys. Ideally, when you are faced with this, you should actively avoid leaving your car unattended, especially if your car keys are in a very visible location. Now let’s dive headfirst into how you can get back into your car after you leave your keys inside your car:

1. Make sure there is no other way to get back inside your car

The last thing you want to hear at this juncture is that you should double check your car and make sure that you left your keys inside. As if you need a reminder of the current state you’re in? Trust me, I get it. However, don’t let the frustration of leaving your keys inside your car get the best of you. Sometimes the answer to your problems might be closer than you think. Drivers often overlook the most simple of solutions because they are looking for grand and sweeping remedies that can be applied to their problems.

In this instance, taking the time to double check that your vehicle is completely inaccessible can save you a great deal of time and money. Ideally, you should make sure that there are no alternative entry points that you can take advantage of. This is always the first thing you should calmly do when you find yourself saying “I left my keys inside my car”. If your car keys are locked inside your car or if the keys are locked inside your trunk, check to see if all your car doors are locked. If they are, turn your attention to the trunk of your car.

If your trunk is unlocked, and your key is in there, then you have come to the end of your journey (this is unlikely). However, if the key is in the main compartment of the car instead of the trunk, you will have a bit more work to do. For some vehicles, access to the main compartment of the car can be granted via the trunk. If your car is built this way then you can gain access to your keys. If it is not, then you will have to keep reading till you get to the appropriate solution for your vehicle.

More modern vehicles will likely present drivers with some available alternatives that allow them to remotely unlock their vehicles in order to gain access to the key locked inside. Utilizing services such as Viper or OnStar give drivers easy access to their vehicles should they accidentally lock their car keys inside. These services are usually offered on a subscription basis.

Key Takeaways

  • Take the time to check your vehicle for alternative points of entry.
  • Viable alternative points of entry often include unlocked doors, rolled down windows, and unlocked trunks.
  • Keep yourself calm and composed so that you do not escalate the problem at hand.

2. See if you have access to a set of spare car keys

Every driver needs a set of spare car keys for their vehicle. In fact, spare keys are beneficial to homeowners as well, and just about anyone who utilizes keys in some way or form in their daily life. If you have a spare key on hand, it should be relatively easy for you to gain access to your car and your original set of keys. However, it is usually unlikely that most drivers will have access to a set of spare keys in this scenario, because the spare keys are often left in the vehicle.

For those drivers who prefer to keep their spare keys in separate locations, this might just be the solution that you need. In this situation, it would help to call someone you trust to bring you your set of spare keys so that you can get back into your vehicle. This solution however, is contingent on your spare key being close by, and someone you know being in close proximity to you, as well as their willingness to bring you your spare key.

It should go without saying that if you do not have a spare key this solution will not be the best fit for you. Although, you should look into getting one made after you make it back into your vehicle and get your original set of keys. It should also be noted that if you are in a remote location far away from your spare key, there are other solutions that will help get you back into your vehicle in a more expedient fashion.

Key Takeaways

  • If you have a spare key on hand, use this to gain access to your vehicle to retrieve the original car keys left inside. In this context on hand will refer to a bag, purse, or other form of mobile storage
  • When you have no spare car key on hand, see if there are any trusted friends or family members that you can call to deliver your spare key.
  • Access to your spare car key simply means that you will be able to get back into your car without having to bypass the car door locks or inflict any form of damage to your vehicle.

3. Utilize some DIY tips and tricks to unlock your vehicle

There are many DIY tips and tricks that drivers can take advantage of to get back into their vehicles when they find themselves repeating the phrase “I left my keys inside my car!”. Leaving your keys in your car can be quite the ordeal but there are always ways to solve this problem and get yourself behind the wheel again.

In terms of DIY solutions that you can use to get back into your car, there are a few handy ones at your disposal. The scope of success for each of these DIY tips and tricks will depend on the state of your car, as well as the type of vehicle that you have. This will make much more sense as we go along.

Drivers can utilize anything from common shoe laces, to professional tools like probes and slim jims. Some of these solutions can be found within a stones throw distance from you, whereas other tools might have to be bought from a local hardware store, some of which may not even be near your current location. If you are leave your keys in your car and you are stranded in the Home Depot parking lot, then you are in luck, sort of.

The extent to which these tools can be used all depend on the nature of your car door locks, as well as how accessible your other elements of your car door are. Any attempt to try to unlock your car to gain access to your keys will involve trying to circumvent your car door locks in some way.

This is why the nature of your car door lock is important. If you have post locks, using your shoe laces will help you unlock the door, but the same method will reap different results when trying to open a car door with a sliding lock or push lock. Keep in mind that DIY methods often take time to master and to implement successfully. This usually means that they are not the best solution in emergency situations.

Key Takeaways

  • DIY methods are quick and sometimes easy if you have the method for the process down. However, it takes some time to get the right tool, and then even more time to perfect the process required to open your car.
  • The kind of tricks that you will use unlock your car to get access to your keys will vary based on the style of your door locks as well as the security of your vehicle itself.

4. Call a professional for assistance in getting back into your car

Locksmith Customer Service

There are a few professionals that you can reach out to for help in the current scenario that you find yourself in. These professionals have the skillset and the tools necessary to help you unlock your car door and get the car keys that are locked inside your car. These professionals range from full-service locksmiths to police officers, to companies that offer roadside assistance to its qualifying subscribers such as AAA roadside assistance.

Do not be afraid to reach out for assistance if you need it because sometimes this is the only way you will be able to get your keys from inside your car. Calling for professional assistance is much different than simply calling someone to bring you your spare keys.

Some drivers are often hesitant of calling for assistance because of the added cost that may be involved with this, as well as having to admit to themselves that they really did leave their keys in their car. If you are wondering how much it costs to unlock your car, you should know that using a professional service will rarely be free.

As has already been stressed above, there is nothing to be ashamed of if you find yourself, for whatever reason, saying “I left my keys inside my car”. If you are in need of assistance, do not hesitate to make the call that gets you the help you need, especially if the situation is somewhat of an emergency. In this instance, assistance refers to professional assistance, which usually comes in the form of help from an automotive locksmith or other related professionals who can assist you with unlocking your car and retrieving your working set of car keys.

If you believe that you are in a life-threatening situation because your keys are locked inside your car, then your first point of call should always be the police. On the other hand, if you simply need help getting back into your car to retrieve your keys, you should call an auto locksmith who handles car lockouts, or you should reach out to a roadside assistance service provider.

Key Takeaways

  • Enlist the help of either a locksmith who specializes in car lockouts, a police officer, or roadside assistance service.
  • If you are in the midst of an emergency, you should always dial 9-1-1 for assistance, especially if you feel that your life, or someone else’s, is in danger.

Closing Thoughts

It’s easy to think that there is nothing you can possibly do when you come to the realization that you have left your keys inside your car, but if you keep a level head and seek out the appropriate resources, you will be back in your car in no time.

Remember, do not hesitate to ask for assistance should you need it. If you are locked out of your car in the midst of a life threatening emergency, call 9-1-1. However, if you simply require the assistance of a 24-Hour Locksmith, contact United Locksmith, and we will be there shortly to assist you and help you get back inside your car.

The Terrifying Truth About Luggage Locks

When you are hoping to maximize your travel security, one of the most obvious places to start is with buying a luggage lock. But how secure are luggage locks? The disturbing truth is that luggage locks are terribly insecure.

What does the insecurity of these locks mean for your luggage security? How does that affect the protection of your property? In order to investigate these issues, we will have to venture deep into the terrifying truth about luggage locks.

What security do TSA locks offer your luggage?

TSA locks are not secure. The shackles can be cut by most low-quality diagonal cutting pliers, the lock cylinders can be picked open with very little skill, and the schematics for the master keys have been revealed to the public. If you are using a TSA lock, you are getting the illusion of security.

The biggest benefit to using TSA locks is that the TSA can open your bag without having to break the lock. This still might not keep your lock from being cut off, as many travelers report having TSA cut locks off regardless of having been TSA approved. But at least there is a chance that your insecure lock will not be broken open.

A TSA approved padlock is the next step up from a zip tie. It provides the same amount of initial security if you are worried about criminal tampering. However, a TSA lock can potentially be taken off and relocked on the bag, where a zip tie cannot be reattached once removed. With a TSA approved lock, after a lawful search, there is a chance that your luggage can maintain its same level of “security”.

The TSA Can Remove Any Luggage Lock Without Cause

If you are checking luggage, the TSA reserves the right to open your baggage by the means required to properly carry out the search. In case you have not received a “Notice Of Baggage Inspection” letter in your checked luggage, it reads as follows:

To Protect you and your fellow passengers, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is required by law to inspect all checked baggage. As part of this process, some bags are opened and physically inspected. Your bag was among those selected for physical inspection.

During the inspection, your bag and its contents may have been searched for prohibited items. At the completion of the inspection, the contents were returned to your bag.

If the TSA security officer was unable to open our bag for inspection because it was locked, the officer may have been forced to break the locks on your bag. TSA sincerely regrets having to do this, however TSA is not liable for the damage to your locks resulting from this necessary security precaution.

The note goes on to suggest that the recipient of the inspection notice refer to www.tsa.gov to find “packing tips and suggestions on how to secure your baggage during your next trip…” Is it ironic for a note telling you what you just read to recommend that you use better security next time you fly? It may seem that way, but the spirit in which it is intended is that locks are not security, knowing what is going to get your bag flagged is the security you need for avoiding TSA attention.

Every Luggage Lock Can Be Opened

It is true that every lock can be picked, even locks that have not been picked yet can still be opened. Opening methods that travel security professionals use are almost always destructive. There is no lock that exists that can withstand every type destructive entry method given an unlimited amount of time with the lock.

Not even the best padlocks in existence can hold up to the highest level of pressure that can be applied to them. Do not expect that your security can keep out any law enforcement. Even though you may be hoping to avoid criminally minded baggage checkers, they are within their right to open your luggage at all costs.

Though there are documented cases where strong enough security has been enough to have TSA give up on trying to open it. I don’t fully understand the implications of security that has law enforcement give up, but I would not expect to be the exception to the rule that if the opening of your bag a legally sanctioned it will be carried out.

In terms of criminal threats without the full force of the law behind them, your locks can still be opened. However, when it comes to standard criminals you have to consider every aspect of luggage security and not just the security of your luggage locks.

No Luggage Lock Can Protect a Zipper

Any luggage lock that is placed to secure a zipper is completely useless. Anyone with a ballpoint pen can puncture the zipper track (aka teeth). This gives anyone access to the contents of your bag in seconds. Once a person has rooted around in your belongings, they can then move the zipper’s pull tab over the open teeth and reseal the bag without any sign of entry.

If you have an anti-puncture zipper, then your zipper is safe, but a lock can never protect the zipper. When you want a lock to matter at all, you have to use luggage that has hasps, not a zipper. Hasps are common on hard shell cases, which are intended to protect the contents of the luggage.

It is also unlikely that you will end up with a bag that has an anti-puncture zipper if you do not go out of your way to purchase one. This feature is not common, in spite of the fact that the method of entry is extremely popular for criminals all over the world.

Your Bag Undermines the Security of a Luggage Lock

Security is not the main concern for standard baggage manufactures. Unless the luggage has been designed with security in mind, the lock you place on it is not going to matter much at all. Besides zipper protection, you have to be concerned about more brash criminals that will not care about surreptitiously or even covertly open your bag.

A very common method of entry that criminals will use is to cut your bag. You made need something like a Pelican case. With a light slice from a sharp knife, a thief now has access to everything in your luggage. Unless your bag can resist cutting, having a lock on your bag is not going to truly protect the property inside.

Most likely your bag is always going to be easier to break than an incredibly strong lock. It does not make sense to have an extremely powerful lock if the case it is securing is itself insecure. Be aware of the level of protection provided by the bag before you make any investment in a lock.

Built-in Luggage Locks Are Not Secure

Built In Luggage Lock

This is a guiding principle more than a hard and fast rule, but it is important to think about the fact that almost any piece of luggage you buy is not going to have high-security locks. This might be something that the case claims, but you need to know better than to believe the advertising.

Even if the brand of security being used is not notorious for manufacturing subpar locks, it might still be something cheap and ineffective. A lot of times locks on cases and luggage will claim to be high-security, but they are just using a novel lock type. Such lock types that are used as built-in luggage locks include tubular locks, cruciform locks, and disk detainer locks.

If a lock is poorly made, it does not matter what kind of internal components it has. Poorly made locks are not secure. They break easier because of the lower quality metal, and that means they can be broken open easier. Mass production required to place them on luggage also makes keys very simple to the point where most of these locks can be opened with bypasses or improvised keys.

What is the best way to protect luggage?

As you may have learned from the article about protecting your beach bag, the best possible way to protect any luggage is to keep your eyes on it. This is not going to be possible at every point of your trip, especially if you have to check your bags. The important thing is to take advantage of the instances where you can watch over your property.

Your locks need to take as long to open without permission as the average time you will leave them unmonitored. As has already been established, flying in the United States will be the exception to this rule. Law enforcement will have too much time with your luggage, and they will have the authority to open the lock. But for deterring criminals, this type of security assessment is a must.

Final Thoughts

It doesn’t matter if you are in one of the most dangerous countries in the world, or you are sleeping over at a friends house in the next town over, when you have luggage, you will attract the attention of criminals. Luggage locks are not going to do much to protect your bag. You need to consider a lot more than just luggage locks.

5 Important Reasons Why Every Business Needs A Security Budget

Budgeting for the security of your business is an important task. However, many commercial businesses often overlook the importance of a security budget, and the benefits that budgeting for the security of your company can bring. Having something like a security budget in place allows you to bounce back from negative outcomes such as business break-ins.

Of course, most companies tend to budget for the very obvious things, but security often gets left to the wayside. Veteran business owners know the benefits that security brings to the table, and they understand how it can help your business run smoothly. As far as the success of your business goes, having a security budget can set you up for success in many different ways.

The prime focus of this article will be exploring the importance of having a robust security budget in place for your company. To have a firm grasp on the reasons why a business security budget is even important, you need to have an intimate understanding of what businesses hope to achieve by implementing some security protocols.

It also helps to have an idea of how these security protocols are handled and achieved. Overall, this knowledge will help guide any business owners who hope to set up the right security budget that will help their company function flawlessly and fluidly.

Why is business security important?

When a business is not operating at peak performance, there is always a reason why. Smart companies usually take the time to trace the cause of this lull in performance, and oftentimes they find themselves facing the undeniable fact that their business security is having a negative impact on the overall performance of their company. It is usually instances like these that spur companies on to pay close attention to the state of their commercial security.

Without an effective mechanism of security in place, your business runs the risk of endangering the lives of employees and customers. In addition to this, there is also the risk of sensitive company and customer data being released to unauthorized individuals, or the risk of loss to company assets and monetary value. Investing in your business security simply allows you to run a tighter ship, which makes things easier for your company in the long run.

Essentially, having a modicum of business security in place helps keep your business protected from threats that you might not even have perceived. However, without a security budget, the idea of having great security only ever remains an idea.

Security factors that you should consider in your security budget:

  • Physical Security: Ideally, any security budget that is utilized by a company should factor in physical security and the common physical security threats that institutions face. Security is all about layers, which means that there is never just one solution that caters to all the threats you might face. In order to get the best security possible, companies have to pair physical security measures with cyber security measures. Examples of physical security measures include the use of access control systems, integrated surveillance devices, installation of commercial door locks across the premises, etc.
  • Cyber Security: Your security would be very one sided if you only focused on physical security to the detriment of everything else. A complete commercial security system will factor in cyber security, and the right budget will reflect this addition.

Without further ado, here are the reasons why every business needs a security budget:

1. A Security Budget Saves Your Business Money

Most businesses take several precautions and measures to save money throughout any given fiscal year, and this is a part of what makes a company smart and efficient. It is usually the case that companies that have a clearly defined security budget save more money. If you think that being financially efficient and responsible are not enough reason to craft a security budget, then read on because you will most likely change your mind at some point.

The beauty of a security budget, or any budget for that matter, is that it allows you to set clearly defined goals, deadlines and even cater to potential outcomes. Once you have a general idea of how things will play out, as well as what you need to make your business security feasible, you waste less money and time trying things because you already have a clear idea of what it is that you want.

By taking the time to allocate specific security costs and actions a set amount of money that should cover them, companies minimize the risk of wasting money on miscellaneous security expenses that they might not even really need. For instance, a company that does not have a security budget might invest in a singular security protocol that might be over priced, rather than investing in multiple sets of commercial door locks that can be more impactful wider apart.

2. A Security Budget Makes It Easier To Secure Your Assets

With the help of a security budget in place, businesses will have a much easier time to secure their assets. This is simply because they will have the framework in place to properly allocate their security resources and guard their most important assets. Not only does it give companies of way of setting money aside to secure their most important assets, but it also gives them an efficient way of figuring out inherent security flaws they might not have been paying close attention to.

The amount of work that is required to construct a working security budget, gives you the opportunity to really study the nature of your business and pinpoint any particular flaws that might usually be overlooked. For instance, if a warehouse is intent on improving their warehouse security and choosing the right warehouse locks, a security budget will help them determine which locks offer a good range of security while still being within the confines of their budget.

3. Security Budgets Give You Room To Upgrade And Expand Security Protocols

Another important reason why business need a security budget in place is because of the options that it presents when it comes to expansion and upgrades of your security protocols. It is crucial to be aware of the fact that security measures are not immune to change, which is why they often require maintenance or upgrades over a certain period of time.

With a security budget in place, businesses can set aside funds that allow them to maintain, replace, or upgrade their security protocols flawlessly. If a small business needs to replace some of the deadbolt locks on their premises, having a security budget on the table helps answer some of the pressing questions that need to be addressed.

This creates a flow in which there are never any gaps left in your security when a particular protocol fails or if something needs to be changed to combat new threats. In many ways, this is the rainy day fund equivalent for security budgets. Not necessarily saying that all upgrades are emergencies, but it helps to be able to tackle one when you are presented with it.

4. Security Budgets Help You Plan For Security Emergencies

Do not be taken aback by the subheading of this section, and don’t doubt that you are reading it correctly. A security budget can help you plan for emergencies and flawlessly circumvent them. It is almost impossible to plan for emergencies, but you can set aside the resources to help you combat the fallout of any emergency that is thrown the way of your business. This includes emergencies that could be a result of a break-in to your commercial space, natural disaster that leaves many of your security protocols damaged, etc.

The great thing about being able to plan for security emergencies is that your security protocols will never be down for too long. It is often in the wake of unprecedented emergencies that companies and businesses are left seemingly vulnerable. With the right budget in place that allocates resources for times like these, companies will never be left without security for extended periods of time.

5. Security Budgets Help Foster Growth For Businesses

Every business understands that some form of growth is important. This could be the growth of the scope of services that a company may provide, or the growth of the clientele who utilize their services. In some cases it is simply the combination of both of these elements that helps business achieve the growth they envision for their companies.

With a security budget in play, businesses can gradually grow the scope of their security, which in turn allows them to grow different aspects of their businesses. For example, if your company was unable to handle a certain number of daily transactions due to security constraints, the presence of a security budget can gradually help you push your operating boundaries even further.

Final Thoughts

Business owners should understand that security is directly tied to the success of their business, and as such, the presence of a security budget becomes essential. By providing your company with a strong security framework, you make it easier for your business to run smoothly, and it also makes it easier for your customers and clients to trust in your company and the services you deliver.
