Locked out (international prostar daycab)

I will always leave my window open several inches or take my keys. They put me in a 2014 579 pete. One morning I got out to do my pre trip, went to get back in and found the door had locked. Come to find out Peterbilts one of the many electrical issues on these trucks is the door locks have a tendency to activate. The only thing that saved me that day was the truck was running and the window was open about an inch. I got a winch strap and forced the hook into the window and was able to hit the window button to lower it more.

 

You must drive a Chevy as a personal vehicle too. They seem to have a habit of locking the door only when the key is left in the vehicle. (Has happened to every Chevy owner I know)

OP, only thing I can think of is a large brick, then tell the insurance company a teenager smashed your window while you were asleep in the bunk.

 

...I'm one of those Chevy owners you speak of. Yup. It's happened to me.

 

Twice now someone at the fuel isle that was driving a prostar like mine have asked me to unlock their doors. Both times they had locked themselves out with the engine running and both times my key worked.

 

Dood! I got the answer, are you there?

 

If he hasn't gotten back inside his cab by now, he's gonna have a rough day of driving ahead. Lol

 

Ok, facing the lock, theres a ring circlip that you can dig out with a pocket knife all easy and damage free. normally.

The whole lock cylnder will come out into your hand like a untapered turd, or 'lincoln log' if your east coast...

Then you can unlocker no prob

 

During lock outs boys, the secret is, always think of 'how much glass is left in door when window is up."..

Theres always an easy tool you can make that'll snake in and press a button, or pull a knob etc etc...
Glass Left in door=3/4 inch
Bend mad in hanger=3.4 inch

You now have a finger in!!!! viola!!!

The biggest window is usually the least expencive but a locksmith is cheaper and faster.
