Hey guys I locked both my keys in my '95 Mustang. My friend has a universal slim jim set and I was curious how hard is it to open it with one of those things? I remember like 5 years back a cop had a difficult time using it on my Mustang and so he had to wedge something between the window and frame to press the door un-lock button. I'd do that again, BUT as luck would have it we took the battery out to get it replaced and shut the hood close. Now we can't open the car to put a new battery to open the hood to open the car. HAHAHHAHA Does that make any sense? Anyways, this is just a seasonal ride so there is absolutely no hurry and it is sitting in my driveway.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mods if this is in the wrong section please feel free to move this. Thank you.

I did this in my buddy's '95... It was so easy he was almost sick... Take a clothes hanger, twist a loop on the end, slide it through the back/top corner of the window, and loop the inside door handle (fords will open from the inside even when locked), then just carefully pull back to open...

Yeah I think I like this idea a lot better than the brick through the window ones. It was so crazy because I manually locked the doors to run to pep boys to pick up a battery... I felt to make sure I had the keys in my pocket so I could "open" it later...and to my horror they were the KEY FOBS and both keys were dangling from the ignition!

I was thinking my story would sound sketchy and someone might think I was up to no good...but trust me I can take pictures of the car in my driveway and laughing family members as witnesses.

Thanks, and if anyone else has any other ideas that would be great... I was trying to think of a way to get juice to my car so that I could somehow work the power locks.

I always carry a spare key in my wallet just for this reason and also have a spare one I keep in the house too. I accidentally locked my truck keys in the truck once and it took a locksmith over 2-1/2 hours to get the door unlocked, so this taught me to keep a spare key in my wallet for sure. you could also go under the car and find a place where you could hide a spare key using a self tapping metal screw and a washer to hold the key tightly or hide one behind one of the screws holding on the rear license plate but make sure the key is well hidden behind the plate if you use this method.
