If there is a person in the car who has an illness or a distressed baby or young child, then it is wise to break the side window.

In winter, the lock may be frozen. You can try warming the lock point gently with a minigrip bag with warm water (not too hot). Be careful not to allow water to leak into the lock. Finger warmers also work. We do not recommend a hairdryer or the like as it can damage the delicate paint on the car. We do not accept liability for any damage. We always recommend the help of a professional.

A tip from a professional to get started

If you leave the keys in the ignition switch, do not press the car door or leave at least the window open. For example, if you scrape the windows and start the car, do not close the door completely but leave it open. This prevents the door from locking inadvertently.
