Title: Keys locked in.......HELP!
Post by: mikemk4gti on 26 September 2011, 14:19
My friends golf has auto locked with the keys in, I'm assuming there's a door module fault.
What's the best way to get into it?

Bend the top of the door out and use a rod to pull the interior door handle.

That's aslong as the double-locking doesn't stop you from being able to open it from the inside.

In that case, put a brick through the window!  :rolleyes:

Of the options of bending the door or brick the window I wouldnt choose any as they are both costly  :shocked:
car locksmith would be a more sensible option  :wink:

I'll ask anyway - no spare keys?

You only have to open it up 10/15mm - £free

Get a window glass from a scrappy and fit - £15

Locksmith, will do the first with an inflatable sleeve to open door - £75 + £30 call out fee

I have one of those on mine, just make sure your boot lock is working ok.

I used this video on my door when my rear door handle had broken and the child lock was on.

Honestly it took me under 10 seconds to open the door.
