hey i locked the keys in my sisters ford f-150 and i tried the old clothes hanger trick but the lock cylinder is further right of the window, making it a bitch to get at it.. do you know if i could just take out the lock cylinder and just use a screw driver? i duno just wanna try a few things before i call a lock smith :?

what year is the truck? if the door handle on the inside unlocks the door as well as opens the door you can attempt this... try prying out the back top corner of the window frame, i have done this on cars but you have to be really careful. once you make a small gap (very small, just big enough to cleanly get a coat hanger in there) slip a coat hanger or other long rod with a loop on the end of it into the passenger compartment, try to get it on the door handle and pull. good luck.

got power locks??? just hit the button with the coat hanger if so!

have you ever tried to push a power lock button with a coat hanger before? it doesn't work out too well. sometimes if i need something more stiff than a coat hanger i use a length of 5/16 or 3/8 tubing.

dunno... Thats how I broke into my caddy once when I locked the keys in it (running nonetheless)... Coat hanger, positioned it perfectly against the switch, then gave it a little push... CLICK... most beautiful sound I had ever heard

I suppose though, some vehicles' switches are harder to push than others, and are in different places ...

got it open, gettin the door to give a few centimeters from the frame was a bitch.. but it worked.. thanks

centimeters? are you one of those canadians or something?

Damned Canadians with their damned foreign measuring ways.

well... granted, some of them are stupid.. but I like our temperature system, and speed system

100 degrees = boiling
0 degrees = freezing

50km/h = city
100km/h = highway

very easy to remember

Don't most cars have 2 sets of keys? My Olds does, same with my dad's Civic and his Harley motorcycle.

Yea...most "older" cars do...

The 1988 Ford Club Wagon has two keys, 1987 Delta 88 has two keys, 1981 Buick Regal Limited has two keys, but the 1998 Intrigue has only one key...due mainly because it has keyless entry...

My dad's Civic is a 2000.

Does it have keyless entry?

P.S. You screwed that quote up...

No it doesnt have keyless entry, and I realize I screwed it up,........now.

Well then, that's most likely why you have two keys then, one opens the door and one starts the car up...the theory is that you leave the ignition key in the car and only put the one key on the keychain that opens up the doors....that's what my olds manual says anyways...
