- Do not panic! You and your loved ones are alive and well. Lost is just a thing. It’s unpleasant, but it’s not a disaster.
- Look better. Turn out your pockets, feel the lining of your clothes and bags. Replay your route, remember the places you have been to, the people you talked to. Often the keys are found, you just have to calm down and think a little.
- Remember if there is a spare kit. Keeping a duplicate key at work, in the country, with parents or friends is a sign of prudence. Consider, have you ever manifested it?
Key missing announcements are bait for criminals. You should not talk about what happened to your neighbors in the entrance or parking lot, and even more so trumpet on social networks.
If no keys are found and there are no spare keys, go to plan B.
Step 1. Opening the door
baldoor.ruThere are several options here.
- Contact the management company or HOA. The locksmith of the housing maintenance organization will help you get into the apartment. Plus: the service is usually inexpensive. Cons: you may have to wait a long time and then repair the door.
- Call the Emergencies Ministry on 112. Rescuers not only save lives, but also help to return home. Pros: work fast. Minus: they are unlikely to stand on ceremony with the safety of doors and windows.
- Call industrial climbers. Great option if you live on the upper floors, and the window or balcony is ajar. Plus: the property practically does not suffer. Disadvantages: such specialists are not available in all cities, their services are paid.
- Contact the professionals. Having hammered into the search engine "emergency opening of locks", you will find dozens of companies. Pros: craftsmen work around the clock, seven days a week and arrive in 30-60 minutes. They guarantee the safety of property and open any locks. Cons: expensive.
Whichever option you choose, you will need to prove that you are the owner of the home. If you have a passport with a residence permit or there are a couple of neighbors who are ready to confirm your ownership, go to the third step. If, call the landlord.
If there are no documents or witnesses, see step # 2.
There are exceptions to all the rules. There is no need to wait for the owners when it is necessary to open the lock in order to save life or property. But the damage from burglary should be less than the damage from such situations.

Step 2. Call the police
You can dial 02/102 - then the duty outfit will arrive - or call the district police officer. You can find out the contacts of the nearest police station using a special service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Law enforcement officials will authorize the entrance to the apartment and check the documents when you get there.
Be sure to write a statement to the police if there is a suspicion that the keys were stolen, and also if they are lost along with the documents.
And a note. There are lost and found tables in police stations, where conscientious citizens bring found things. Look there - suddenly you get lucky. But even in this case, it is better not to skip the third step.
Step 3. Change the locks
Even if the door remained intact or - lo and behold! - I found my own key, it is better to change the locks or recode the locking mechanism.
Step 1. We get to the salon
novate.ru There are two options here:
- Act on your own. If the window of one of the doors is ajar, you can open the machine with the help of dexterity and a simple device made of wire. If the car is tightly closed, you can use a life hack with a bank card and a rope lasso: the first is inserted into the gap between the door and the body, and the second is the lock button.
- Call specialists. This is especially true if it's freezing outside or, for example, you are parked in a paid parking lot. The master will not only help you get into the salon, but also turn off the alarm.
Whatever way you manage to open the locks, with or without supporting documents, remember: the responsibility is not on the one who opened it, but on the one who asked to do it.

Step 2. We start the car
If you have a regular blade wrench, you can:
- Remove the cylinder of one of the locks and contact the nearest key production service. Plus: inexpensive. Minus: it will take some time.
- Make an impression in place. Specialists from special firms can make or pick up a duplicate key without leaving the car. Plus: convenient. Negative: extra charge.
It is more difficult when the key is with a chip. Chip keys are associated with immobilizers, which block the control system if they cannot read the codes embedded in the keys. In this case, you have two options:
- Refer to official dealer... You provide a card with the immobilizer number, you are ordered new key... If the card is also lost, go to the third step. Plus: a new original key, safe recoding of the car's brains. Cons: expensive and very long (from two weeks to several months).
- Contact a specialized company. They will help to make a cheap duplicate of the lost key and recode the car electronics for it. Pros: Fast and fairly budgetary. Minus: you can run into scammers.
Step 3. Transporting the car to a safe place
While you are recovering car keys, it is better to transport it to the garage or to a guarded parking lot.
You will also need a tow truck if you need to take the car to the dealer's service center.
Recovery of car keys in Moscow. There are such unpleasant situations in life when you realize that the keys to your car are irretrievably lost. It also happens that when buying a car not in a car dealership, we forget to ask the seller about the second key. As a result, 1 key remains in stock. But losing the key is not so difficult. And what to do in such a situation? Below will be described in detail how to recover the key. There are only 2 options for recovering a car key.
Option number 1: Contact our company
What information we need from you:
- Car make and model
- Year of car manufacture
- Country of car manufacturer
- VIN number of the vehicle
- Is an additional alarm installed
- Availability of documents for property
With this information, we can begin the process of recovering your key.
Step 1... Departure of a specialist to your car. (30-60 minutes.)
Step 2... If required, our master will open the car.
Step 3... Dismantling the door lock, ignition. Or reading the key cutting code. Since there are a lot of different cars, and models of locks, it is impossible to say for sure that we will dismantle the door lock or the ignition lock. The key for each car is made differently. This is where our vast experience and skill comes in. It takes our master an average of 30 minutes to restore the mechanical part of the key.
Locking bolt
Step 4... After manufacturing the mechanical part of the key, you will also need to program the transponder (chip). There are two ways to program the chip.
Chip programming method # 1
The chip is programmed through the OBD connector, for this you need to connect to the diagnostic connector with a special diagnostic equipment and program the chip.
To program a new key into the car, it is imperative to know the PINCODE from the immobilizer. it special code to access the key record. As a rule, this is a plastic card. Below you can see how these cards look on different cars... To program a key using this method, a car is required.
The reason for this note was a real case with the car of one of our acquaintances. He simply lost the last key to the elderly one - the first he "sowed" even earlier. The companion's sadness took on quite definite financial and time outlines after a call to one of the Toyota dealerships. There, having broken through the car by VIN, they asked for 20,000 rubles for the restoration of the lost key, warning that the duplicate would be ready in one and a half to two months. None of the details of such a picture suited the car owner, and therefore the search for alternatives began. It turned out that the city has a sufficient number of specialized services that help car owners in similar situations. However, even here the total cost of restoring what was lost will not please.
The calculation was as follows: in a car service - 2500 rubles, opening a car - from 2000 rubles, turning off the alarm - from 1000 rubles, dismantling / installing an ignition lock with the manufacture of a duplicate key - about 5000 rubles. And this is without the cost of the blank key blank itself. In total - more than 10,000 rubles. Paying even that amount for memory loss seemed somehow out of hand, and the search for options continued. As a result, an even more budgetary solution was found - with the departure of the master to the parking lot of the closed car. The main thing is to indicate the brand, model and year of manufacture of the vehicle at the ordering stage (and if the facts of replacement of keys, door locks or ignition lock have already taken place in the biography of the car, warn the servicemen about this in advance).
The on-site service costs about 6,000 rubles. Moreover, at the request of the client, the master (one would like to call him a "bugbear") can not only make new keys, but generally re-create the car. The continuing, as the immersion in the topic, the decrease in the price of the issue caused a certain excitement among the confused car owner: and to what level can it be brought down in principle? To this end, he climbed to stir up layers of folk wisdom on the specialized Internet forums of Toyota car owners.
Among other ideas gleaned from the world wide web, it turned out to be completely idiotic: to try to use a key from another car similar to the model to open the ill-fated Camry. In the neighboring neighborhood, as it turned out, lived another, no less happy owner of exactly the same old Toyota, who agreed to provide the key to her for a daring experiment. As a result, it turned out that the key to one Camry not only opens the doors of another Camry perfectly, but also successfully starts it! As a result, the restoration of lost keys cost only 800 rubles per pair. However, now the forgetful friend is overwhelmed by obsessive doubts about the safety of his car, which he usually parks in the courtyard of his native high-rise building.
The car is an integral part of a modern person, without which it is already impossible to imagine his life.
Unfortunately control technology vehicles run into the mandatory presence of a key. Having lost it, you can be left without your "iron friend" for a while.
There are several secret ways to open the car, even if the owner has lost the only car keys. You will hardly be able to travel on business, but it is quite possible to pick up the necessary things and documents!
Lost my car keys. What to do?
Don't panic in the first place! Not finding the keys in your pocket, collect your thoughts and remember when you last saw them. Walk around the car, look under it. Go through the places where you have been in the last hour, along the way asking the sellers: "Lost the car key with the alarm, did you see it?"
What to do before opening
1. Explain to the people around you that the owner has lost the car keys with a chip, and that this is your own car.
2. Be prepared to talk to law enforcement officials. Prepare at least a passport if the rest of the documents are in the car. Without an identity card, you can go to the police station to find out.
3. Know how to quickly turn off the alarm. After successfully opening the doors (and possibly from unsuccessful attempt) you will hear a strong unpleasant sound signal and you will immediately be in the spotlight.
4. Think again, is it worth opening the car? Can you provide sufficient security for the transport? At the moment, it is protected from thieves. After a successful autopsy process - no longer.
Services
How to open a car without a key, the master knows for sure, who painstakingly studied the device of the mechanisms of hundreds of locks.
It's no secret that every city already has a service specializing in this kind of autopsy. The services are not cheap. But are you sure of the master's qualifications? Do not immediately trust to break your car.
Watch closely what the specialist is doing. If his actions seem suspicious or inept to you, the operation is taking too long, refuse the services. It is up to you to paint the scratched place and change the broken lock.
Method one
Most people have no idea how to open a car without a key, and they are sure that only professionals can do it. Of course it is not. If you have a simple car with a stud-shaped door closing mechanism, consider yourself lucky.
You just need to purchase a small screwdriver, knife or scissors at the nearest store. And also a thread, thin rope, fishing line or wire up to a meter long. As a last resort, you can even use a lace.
After that, the tool engages the rubber seal of the driver's or passenger's front door and is removed by three to four centimeters. There is no need to completely pull out the rubber.
A loop is made on the wire, with which we catch the "carnation". After numerous attempts, the target will be caught, and all that remains is to gently pull the wire upward. If everything worked out correctly, the way to the passenger compartment will be clear.
Method two
I lost my car keys ... What if the first option failed even after a thousandth try?
In this case, we will slightly modernize our wire. It is necessary to make a "loop" approximately in the middle. Then, with the help of a handy tool, pulling back the seal, provide access to the wire simultaneously from both the left and right sides of the window. With the resulting loop, you need to catch the lock retainer and tighten the loop. Pulling the wire up will unlock the door.
Method three
In some machines, there is no door lock as such. Instead, only the central locking control button, which is most often located near the wings.
In this case, you will not do with a rope, you only need a long, strong fishing line with minimal bend. After pulling back the rubber seal, try to reach this button and push it. Of course, the security systems of not every car will allow you to do this. But even if there is even a minimal chance of getting inside, you should definitely take advantage of it.
Method four
How to open the car with a ruler? Sometimes it happens that there is no one to help, there is no place to buy the necessary equipment. And at hand - only a regular metal ruler. Well, you can try using it too. To do this, bend the rubber seal in the area of the castle in the usual way. driver's door... And with a ruler we try to press on the mechanism closing latch.
Many modern cars equipped with a protective mechanism, but old foreign cars and classics, with some effort, can be opened.
Lost my car keys. What if I am completely desperate?
This method is suitable if you are sure that the keys are in the car, or an item from the passenger compartment is urgently needed.
Alternatively, you can break one of the glasses. You should not choose a windshield and rear glass- they are the most expensive. It is also better to avoid the smallest windows like "vents" on the classics. The fact is that they are quite rare, and their price is prohibitively high. If you have no choice, take a closer look at the side glass.
If there is a tint film on the window, then there is no need to make any special preparations. Otherwise, it is better to glue it with tape to minimize the scattering of the fragments (cover in advance the places of risk of damage with any tissue).
A heavy hammer (at least a kilogram), a stone, a sledgehammer, a metal pipe is suitable for a blow.
1. You can find different sets of lock picks for both beginners and professionals. They are quite expensive, but whether you can use them at the proper level is a big question. Think carefully before spending money on them. In addition, the set will have to be constantly carried with you, which is really quite inconvenient.
2. On the Internet, you can find a large number of proposals for the manufacture of key fobs with a car number. Not the most rational solution. After all, if a dishonest person finds the keys with such information, you may never see the car again.
It is much more logical to indicate your phone number. Even a return for a reward is a much cheaper "pleasure" than making a new key with an immobilizer and buying a key fob for alarm.
3. Configure security system so that it does not close after a certain time after disarming.
4. Make a copy of the key without immobilizer. You can always open the door for them. And even if you do, the attackers simply won't be able to go anywhere in your car.
4. Even if it was not possible to open the car yourself or with the help of specialists, do not despair. Each car comes with two sets of keys. You may have to waste a couple of hours driving home to get a spare kit or ask someone in the household to bring it. Agree, not the biggest waste in life.
