'97 Ford Taurus, 4 door - we need to break into it!

[SagaLore]

One of the secretaries at my office locked her purse and keys in her car this mornig, all windows rolled up tight. We've been trying to unlock it with one of those long metal strips (that we borrowed from a tire shop) but no luck. I tried it myself, and I think I might be catching the right hinge but I push down and it doesn't give. Tried doing a google search for the door blueprints but nothing so far.

Anybody have any info how to get into this car? I think she's just going to call a locksmith now since 3 of us couldn't get it open...

Find someone that has AAA and give them a call.

i locked my self at a car wash and the guy took about 2 min with a slim jim, prob the same metal strip and did it for free.. but i didn't see how it was done. Keep trying ? the pros can do it fast.. it's almost 5.. better call them before they charge xtra .. good luck..

Did this once in my parents' Taurus. Forget what year, though.....
It had power locks. Here's what we did:
Pull the top of the door frame out. Don't pull too hard--you don't want to break anything, just create a gap. We wedged the door frame open with a croquet stake and then threaded an unfolded coat hanger through the small opening and pressed the power lock button.

YMMV, and I'm not responsible if you bend the door frame or break something.
