In brief

If you’ve locked your keys inside a car with vertical door locks, this video shows how to use a long-reach grabber tool (like the RCBM Remote Control Button Master) to unlock the door. You’ll also learn how to safely wedge the door open—using air bags, plastic wedges, or even a screwdriver—without damaging the latch or door frame. It’s a straightforward method for anyone who’s ever been locked out.

Questions & answers

What tools are needed for this method?

A long-reach grabber tool (like the RCBM Remote Control Button Master) and either air bags, plastic wedges, or a screwdriver to prop the door open.

Can I use household items instead of wedges?

Yes—the creator mentions using a screwdriver (though it may scratch the door) or even a wooden wedge if you don’t have air bags or plastic wedges.

Description from the creator

The lockout tool: amzn.to/3rnXari

I show you an easy way to unlock your car door if you have locked you keys in the vehicle. This is the easiest car door unlocking tool that I have found after working in the automotive roadside assistance / towing industry for almost 3 decades. It is made by Access Tools and is called the RCBM- Remote Control Button Master. It is a long reach grabber tool used to unlock vehicles with vertical door locks. Longer versions of this tool can also be found by various manufacturers that are long enough to reach inside the car or truck and grad interior door handles, etc.

In the video I use two air bags, also known as air wedges, or air jacks to help open the door just enough to get the tool inside. These air bags a not 100% necessary. You could also use plastic door wedges, a homemade wooden wedge... or even just a screwdriver if you don't care about damaging your vehicle.

This is a pretty simple process to unlock a door with vertical door locks using this tool. Try not to wedge the door open too far, just enough to get the tool in. And also once the door is unlocked, be sure to remove all wedges and/or air bags before opening the door. This removes all pressure from the door latch and lets the door open smoothly.
