How do you unlock your car with keys inside? What is the easiest way to unlock a car door? This article is going to talk about the methods of open a car door with a tennis ball. If you are interested in, please keep reading!

 
 

One of the most frustrating things you can do is lock your keys in your car. You know you do it almost the second it happens. Your options are pretty much limited to calling a tow service to come unlock it (with someone else’s phone of course, because you’re locked in the car), trying to use a coat hanger, because that almost never works anyway, or get a ride home to get the other set of keys in your locked house. If none of that sound appealing, you might want to give this a try. Take a tennis ball, puncture a small hole in it. Place the hole of the ball over the keyhole and using both hands, press the ball very hard. The air inside the ball forces the locking mechanism open and your car becomes unlocked. Here are the detailed methods:
 
If you type 'Unlock Car Door with a Tennis Ball' into the Youtube search bar you'll see a plethora of videos showing: A. It's possible and on the flip side B. It's impossible. So, we decided to dig a little deeper to see if this life hack can actually come to fruition. The alleged steps one must take to open a car door with a tennis ball are as follows.
1. First, you need to burn a hole in a tennis ball
2. Place the tennis ball on a car door, with the burnt hole over the keyhole
3. Press the ball at full force into the door handle
4. The air inside the ball will compress and place pressure on the locking mechanism
5. The pressure will — potentially — force the locking component in the door to unlock.
 
While the steps seem logical, many have attempted this life hack and failed. MythBusters, for example, tried and tested this unlocking method several times. They tried to unlock doors with different sized holes in the tennis balls. They even tried "vacuum-sealing the car lock and applying 100 psi of air pressure (about nine times the normal atmospheric pressure)". But, all to no avail. Many MythBusters commenters and Youtube users have stated that this hack has worked for them. However, they claim that it only works on certain car models, particularly older vehicles.
 
While we can't be sure if this life hack will work on your vehicle it's worth giving it a shot. On the positive side, you'll be able to open your door — when those keys in the ignition incidents take place. But, on the downside, other people could potentially get into your car too...
