Distraction can lead to leaving the car and slamming the door only to discover your keys are dangling from the ignition. Here are a few ideas of how you can get back in that car:
1. Towing Company: Keep a business card in your wallet for a towing company who provides a Lock out Service in Naperville so that you can call them should you find yourself locked out of your car. Do not leave the card in the glove compartment as this will be locked in the car with your keys. Towing companies tend to come pretty quickly and will also not be in the least bit surprised as they rescue people in the same situation every day.
2. Local Gas or Service Station: Depending on where you are located look around for a gas station or service station. They will often have a “jimmy” that will allow you to pop your car door open easily. If you have your cell phone give them a call or if you are within walking distance just walk over and ask.
3. Police: This is not a situation to call 9-11. However if you are in a remote area, alone or have health issues you can call the local police station and ask for assistance. They too will have a jimmy and be able to assist if you are afraid and not sure who to call. They will probably take longer than anyone else you call unless you are in danger or have health concerns as they answer calls in priority order.
4. Magnetic Key Case: They make a special magnetic case you can keep affixed to an inconspicuous area of your car. Keeping one with a spare car key will mean you will never be in danger of being locked out of your car in the first place.
5. Locksmith: Some locksmiths will provide a lock out service however you will have to find one that does. It’s easier to call a towing company as they will be certain to have a jimmy to help you out in a jiffy.
