For electronic Locks
In modern cars, new vehicles come with electronic door openers or “digital keys” that will not lock doors with the keys in the vehicle. The downside is that if you lose the gadget, it can take days and hundreds of dollars to replace it, and you’ll probably need to have the vehicle towed to a dealer who will order a new key.
"I am a manager for a large rental car company and we do this all the time when keys get locked in cars. All spares are kept at a central location about 40 miles from our branch, and rather than make the drive to get them or overnight them out, we use this nifty little trick. It absolutely works!!"
