How do you unlock a Honda Civic without a key?

How can I unlock my Honda Civic if I locked my keys in the car? I’m honestly not sure what to do, this has never happened to me before.

It can be scary and frustrating to
lock your keys in the car
, but don’t worry! It’s a common mistake.
To unlock your
Honda Civic
without a key, you can try using a flathead screwdriver or a small wedge to pry your door open slightly. Be very careful when you do this, and try not to put too much strain on the door.
Once the opening is wide enough, insert a wire coat hanger into the gap and use it to press the unlock button on the inside of your door.
If this doesn’t work (or if you’re worried about damaging your car or the locking mechanism), it might be best to call a locksmith to help you out. Some insurance companies offer roadside assistance packages that include locksmith services, so it’s worth checking your policy to see if your insurer can help you out.
