Keys locked in Focus ST - help!

[J3PTF]

Hi,

As per the title, I have locked my key in the boot of my 2013 focus ST. Unfortunately, the spare is also now locked in there.

I have spoken to my Ford dealer, as I wanted to see if getting a new key would be more palatable than forced entry, but they just told me to speak to the AA who 'have a kit for this.'

Has anyone got any experience of this and what it involves as I'm rather nervous about bent doors etc?!

Thanks

Bugger - what I suspected really.

Am I being too optimistic to hope it'll be done damage free? I think I'd rather have a window broken than anything bent out of shape...

Can I ask how you managed to lock the keys in the car? is it an ST1 or 2?

I have a MK3 2013 ST3 - Keyless entry doesn't allow you (unless you hold the boot release and close it at the same time) to lock your keys in the car..

Just wondered how it locked itself with the keys in the car with or without keyless...

Good luck though.

It's an ST2 estate - it has keyless ignition, but not keyless entry.

The unlocked just the boot to get something out, put them down, then shut the boot. The spare key was (unbeknown to me) already in the car.

A lot of recovery type people have a small air bag type piece of equipment.

This is slid in the gap at the top of the door and pumped up.
It slowly and gently bends the door out a bit to gain access to the inside door handle with a rod.

It normally does not damage the door though and works as long as it's not dead locked.

That sounds almost too good to be true. I assume it's a combination of how clumsy the person is, and how easy the access to the handle is, as to whether there's any lasting damage.

What if it is deadlocked?
