Locked keys in van

[Irishpete]

Well the title says it all

Can anyone PM me any tips for getting them out short of call in a locksmith? I have no opening quarter lights :roll:

Queue the ribbing :?

Only to say commiserations - I'm sure that if more than just my sliding door could be locked ....I'd have done the same by now

Just by chance have a route about in the engine bay above the hatch or the top part of the battery try as while I was cleaning mine I found one of those magnetic key boxes stuck there and it had the original keys in it too

Just a long shot

Happened to me, accessed via the roof light in the pop top.

Get as many vw keys as you can from locals and try them in the locks. I did the same and managed to borrow a few sets and one opened the door.
Do not get a lock Smith, they will wedge the doorskin and try to hook the door release. This will bend the skin and knacker the door... If all falls then breaking a quarter light might be the cheapest option.

Good luck.

Take a piece of glass out, easy to refit. Tailgate one is easy

In an old van I took a side window out in Tescos car park one time to get in :lol:

Or you spend an hour or so faffing about trying to get in, then discover that the rear hatch isn't locked anyway......

Not yet I'm at work all day today but she's safely secreted away so it'll probably be thursday(!) before I get a chance. I've called the RAC and my girlfriend's going to supervise while they try and get in this afternoon. Failing that ill be trying / calling some of the pm ideas and crossing my fingers that I don't have to break a window! :?

What a muppet!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

cut a rubber before you brake the glass if it gets to that,especialy if your rubbers are old.kills 2 birds with 1 stone that way :mrgreen:

We got in! You know those old keys you have lying around? Well if one of them happens to be for a bus then keep it! Our old van key worked on our new van - thanks to those who suggested that and all the other help

New job list.

1. Get keys cut

2. Get more keys cut!
