How to Unlock Your Car Door with a Shoelace in 10 Seconds

Person using a thin tool to unlock a car door.

Have you locked yourself out of your car? Well, as long as you have a shoelace, you may be able to get back in.

Pull your shoelace out of your shoe. In the middle of the lace, make a small noose knot that can get tighter as you pull on both ends. Hold your shoelace gently from both ends, and fit it over the closed door in the crack between the door and the car's frame. Pull the shoelace down and try to get the loop around the car's lock.

One the loop is around the lock, pull on both ends to tighten the noose. Once the loop is secure, pull the shoelace up from both ends. The lock will be pull the lock up, allowing you access to your car.
