It can happen to the best of us – losing or misplacing your car keys. If you own a GMC truck and find yourself in this situation, don’t worry, there are several ways to unlock your truck without keys. Below we have listed a few methods to help you get back inside your GMC truck.
Method 1: Use a Slim Jim
A Slim Jim is a thin, flat piece of metal that can be used to unlock car doors. To use this method, you will need to insert the Slim Jim between the door and the window and move it around until it catches the lock mechanism. Once you have caught the lock, pull the Slim Jim up to unlock the door. Be careful not to damage the window or door when using this method.
Method 2: Call a Locksmith
If you are unable to use a Slim Jim, you can call a locksmith to help you unlock your GMC truck. A locksmith will have the tools and expertise needed to get you back inside your vehicle. However, this option can be costly and may take some time to arrive, depending on your location.
Method 3: Use a Coat Hanger
A coat hanger can also be used to unlock your GMC truck. Straighten the coat hanger and make a hook at one end. Insert the hook into the door and try to catch the lock mechanism. Once you have caught the lock, pull the coat hanger up to unlock the door. Again, be careful not to damage the window or door when using this method.
Method 4: Use a Tennis Ball
One of the most popular DIY methods to unlock a car door is using a tennis ball. Cut a small hole in the tennis ball and place it over the lock. Push the ball as hard as you can, and the air pressure created by the ball should force the lock open. However, this method is not always successful and may not work for all vehicles.
Method 5: Use a Keyless Entry Remote
If your GMC truck has a keyless entry system, you can use the remote to unlock your truck. Press the unlock button on the remote to open the doors. If you don’t have the remote, you can contact your GMC dealership to purchase a replacement.
