Lost key, whats easiest way to break in?
 

i lost my only key to my 86 rx7. what is the easiest way to break into the car? both doors are locked. i need to know what is the best way to get into it without hurting the car. i tried a coat hanger but i cant seem to get it past the door seal. HELP!

you might have to bend the top of the door a little bit, but hell ur stuck so possibly only way, get a very stiff stick, stiffer than a hanger try to make it push the power lock button. do u have power locks or not?

I don't know if this works on an FC but here is something to look at. On FB's you can lift the door handle a little and stick a long thin screwdriver up inside and push the door lock tab up. Since the key slot is right there you might be able to hit something to the side. They have a different set-up than the FB with the placement of the lock tab on the door. Be careful with your handle they bust inside.

it has manual door locks....

pop a lock?

wana call AAA? lolz.

um from my experence with fcs(4 parts cars) just try a diff rx7 key they usally work.. one key would work on all my fc's hhehehe, if not call a locksmith

slim jim, worked for me.

hmmm, getting a stiff stick like i said, but on the end bend it and try to flatten it alot and manuever it down to the door lock and pull it up

none of you know... "That 5 seconds way"
good thing too.... dont want people stealing our cars! :)

which way are u talking about? the spark plug?

hmm.....if u do use the coat hanger i suggest doing it to the passager side..incase u do mess up the rod insidethe door u wont have to live with it everytime u open your own door....this happened to me multiple times.....and i've gotten better and better at it...last time it happened the car was running....AND over heating....talk about working under pressure!

The lock is pretty worn, use a small screw driver to pick and turn the lock. Pretty easy to do.

haha....i very much know this way and have used several times already after locking myself out. if i were u donut, i wouldnt listen to any of these peoples advice (not calling u bad people) because u, or AAA even may easily end up damage something with those ways.

ill pm u with the answer cause i dont believe everyone needs to know, or our 2nd gens would be very vulnerable (sp?) targets to be broken into

i know at advance auto we sell that slim jim thing, and some other thing that you stick down between the outside part of the window and the upper door trim piece. its got instructions

PM me how too because this just happened to me :mad:

on a lot of older cars if you just pull and release the door handle 36243268 times really fast it'll eventually open... i dont know if thats the five second way but it worked on my friends old ass tercel.

if u lock ur keys in ur old ass tercel...u should just leave it and hope that someone steals it....this way u'll collect more money than the cars worth!

1. bite the bullet and call a lock smith
2. I bought a "break in kit" with various slim jims etc. and instructions from a roadside tool vendor. Bending the door can cause a major whistling sound later.

If you lost the keys to your car why would you want to break in? Unless you've got something inside that you need to get to ASAP, why bother? Based on the fact that you can't get into an rx-7 (very easy) i'm guessing you don't know how to hotwire it to get it started, so I don't see the point of trying to break in. I don't know why nobody has suggested this yet, but just go to a Mazda dealership with the VIN and have them make you a key once you prove it's your car.

slim jim. slide it in the door go all the way back and pull up

slim jim, or just take the VIN number to your local Mazda dealer and have him cut another key.

have you tried another fc key, a lot of times the locks are dirty and other keys will work.

One time I did this in a parking lot so i just busted that third brake light and pushed it all aside and popped the hatch.

Windows are a dim a dozen....break one

you guy's suck at this.

first, pop off the window trim
grab a coat hanger, bend the bottom piece into a L shape, stick it down and press on the rod coming out of the lock cyliner.

I have locked my keys in my car at places out in the middle of nowhere, I just go in to the store, ask for a coat hanger and screw driver, and I am in within 30 seconds, everytime

HELL, I locked my keys in my car outside my house and had to pop off the trim by hand, and use a stick to jimmy the door, it worked.

it's nothing amazing, if someone was going to break into your car, it's obvious they know this basic way of doing it.

compubob........u just ruined all the fun. haha

buhahaha, whoops!
ok I was thinking.. why the hell does no one know this!..
now I know why :)

OMFG...A god damn license plate can open both doors on a sec gen. Call AAA, LMFAO. I've got 4 other RX-7's (parts cars of course) without keys and someone always ends up locking the doors on them. I'm suprised no one else knows, or acts like they dont know, how suceptible these cars are.

you guys are all crazy your telling a guy who just joined and who has 14 posts how to steal all your cars, seriously guys wtf? lol exercise some caution when telling people how to break into your car jeez, noone even asked how he locked himself out or what model/year he has, and he hasnt replied back since you all handed him your keys lol damn kids

smooth move exlax

I do know the "5 second way". And it really is only 5 seconds. (Give or take 1 or 2) Works every time. And I agree with rx7 punk, anybody can creat an account, hang out on the forum for a week, then go start "aquiring" RX-7s. I'm protecting mine and other's RX. Sorry if I seem like a dick.

But after you get keys or whatever, take the door skin off and look at how the door locks are put together. Shouldn't take too long to figure out the "5 second way".

lol im not even being over protective i know some guy did that very thing on a 240 forum and im pretty sure its already happened here before, i just would have the rx7 guys would have excercised some caution lol
