alexlovelady21 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi guys I’ve been an idiot i locked my keys to my MK1 Focus in the boot does anyone have any ways of getting in without breaking glass Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Did you deadlock the car, 2 presses on the fob or 1? There are ways to get into the cabin without any major damage but not if it's deadlocked. Obviously people aren't going to post how to break into a car on a public forum but someone could PM you.

Nick Y Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Do you have breakdown cover? A lot of breakdown cover includes options for when you've locked yourself out of your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke4efc Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Fortunately for this situation the mk1 uses the tibbe key style which is ridiculously easily to pick open using one of these tools from amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexlovelady21 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 not yet might just smash the window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 If its not deadlocked, just bend the top of the door out slightly and use some sort of rod or bent coat hangar to pull the interior door handle. Also worth trying a mates Tibbe key if you know anyone with a similar aged Ford, or even just a screwdriver if you have one the same size, the Tibbe keys aren't secure at all.

I pm'd the coat hanger method yesterday Tom, didn't think it would be allowed to be posted on here. Obviously no joy with it. OP - Can't you got a key blade made up at Ford's from your V5 and VIN number? You only need the key blade to get in rather than a more expensive remote.

TomsFocus Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'd be amazed if anyone didn't know the coat hangar method...it's hardly a secret. Ford cant make keys from a VIN or V5. The key code isn't linked to those. They need the code which is probably in the book pack in the OPs glovebox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexlovelady21 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Right looks like I’m going to have to smash the window does anyone know which one is the cheapest to be buy and get fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Have you tried getting a quote from a locksmith? Got to be cheaper than the window option if you're not fitting it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used it in the past to wrap around a pull up door lock but I didn't think you would be able to manipulate it onto a recessed door handle so didn't mention it. Anything is worth a try though.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
