Default locked keys in car

From what i remember if I could get the switch unlocked dosent the alarm force them shut quickly, is there a way to disable the alarm or drain the battery within a few hours by hitting something with a close hanger.

Can someone tell me if I was to get the door unlocked with a close hanger or a slim jim, and the factory alarm is armed. Will the doors force themselves locked again from what I remember or will the alarm just flash/sound and not let me start it but let me open the door?

Opening the car while the alarm is armed...will cause the doors to lock. The AAA locksmith used his tools to open the door, but the locks keep wanted to go back into the locked position.

You just have to be quick.

yep, your AAA guy has to be fast, it took the guy working on my car like 10 minutes to get it. He tried the passenger side first but the door handle clip ended up breaking in the process, so he had to do the drivers side.

after they use the slim jim, make sure the door closes properly and locks from the inside, outside, etc.

they are notorious for breaking the linkages or clips when jamming their tools inside.

This is so true..... They broke my passenger side clip and now the door only opens from the inside. Fortunately it locks/unlocks properly.
The clip is a tiny cheap part but is a pita to replace.

My dad got the doors unlock with this popper/lock grabber that reaches between the doorframe and grabbed the lock switch and quick popped the door before the alarm could relock the doors. -phew- glad I got that off my chest!

I know the car only came with one key, just the regular one without the keyless entry (I think called maybe valet key, but it opens everything). I wanna get the key with the remote entry on the key like I shoulda got but previous owner prolly lost / or kept it !

i called AAA to pop my lock today. He used a blood pressure air pump for your arm and a close hanger with a rubber tip. Took him 3 minutes. The guy smelled like *******, armpits, and cheap axe spray

He stuck the inflatable blood pressure pad in the door jam and inflated it. This allowed enough of an opening in the top. Then he flipped the lock switch with the long *** close hanger with a rubber hook on the end. The alarm went off but disarmed it quickly after getting the key. so there you go. Thank God for insurance.

This happened to me too, I called AAA and they called a tow truck since they help with this stuff too. The tow lady brought out an air wedge with a long wire. She used the air wedge to make a gap between the door and then she pressed the lock switch and pulled the door open real fast. She did it pretty fast too, only took a few minutes to get the job done. My car is a 95', so I'm not sure if the security is different on your car or not.
