How to Open a 2002 Chevy Tahoe With No Keys If I Got Locked Out

Having your car keys in your hand is far better than having them locked in your car.

Losing your car keys is an annoyance no one wants to deal with. However, losing your keys isn't as annoying as knowing exactly where your keys are: locked in your 2002 Chevy Tahoe with no means of obtaining them. When you lock your keys in a late-model car, it's not a good idea to attempt to retrieve them the same way your parents did when you were a child. Sticking a wire hanger into the door frame of your newer-model car could damage your lock mechanism, which means adding the expense of having your vehicle worked on to your already annoying day.

Instructions

1. Call your local police or sheriff's department or a professional locksmith or towing company. All are equipped with the necessary tools to open your Tahoe's doors without damaging your locks.

2. Inform the representative on the phone of your vehicle's location and ask to have someone sent out right away to retrieve your car keys for you.

3. Provide the tow truck driver/locksmith/law enforcement officer with proof of your identity and ownership of the vehicle. You can do this by presenting your driver's license along with your title, registration or insurance card. If you generally keep your vehicle information in your glove compartment, explain your situation, and you will be permitted to retrieve your information once your doors are unlocked.

4. Pay for any services rendered. Police and sheriffs officers don't charge for helping you break into your own car.
