Method 1: Using a Slim Jim
A slim jim is a tool that can be used to unlock car doors without a key. To use it on your Kia Forte, follow these steps:
Step 1: Insert the Slim Jim
Insert the slim jim into the gap between the car window and the weatherstripping. Make sure it is positioned over the lock mechanism.
Step 2: Locate the Lock Mechanism
Use the slim jim to locate the lock mechanism. You should be able to feel it through the slim jim.
Step 3: Unlock the Door
Once you’ve located the lock mechanism, use the slim jim to push the lock button up or pull the lock lever down, depending on the type of lock your Kia Forte has.
Method 2: Using a Coat Hanger
If you don’t have a slim jim, you can also try using a coat hanger to unlock your Kia Forte. Here’s how:
Step 1: Bend the Coat Hanger
Bend the coat hanger into a long, straight tool with a hook at the end.
Step 2: Insert the Coat Hanger
Insert the coat hanger into the gap between the car window and the weatherstripping. Make sure the hook is positioned over the lock mechanism.
Step 3: Unlock the Door
Use the hook to locate the lock mechanism and pull up or push down on it to unlock the door.
Method 3: Call a Professional
If you don’t feel comfortable trying to unlock your Kia Forte on your own, or if you don’t have the necessary tools, you can always call a professional locksmith to help you. They will have the expertise and tools needed to unlock your car without causing any damage.
