HELP!! Possibly locked keys in car!!!
Okay, I went to unlock my car, and I can't find my keys. I always hang them up right after I come inside. However, I cannot find them. I was hoping somebody had an idea about how to unlock the doors without a key. I would really like to know!! I think I may have accidently locked the doors with the keys inside, possibly not, I'm still looking around the house. My Dad might have grabbed them, but he is unavailable. I just moved the car around the yard 3 hours ago!

unless you've really done something to your lock, or exited the car through the passenger door, this isn't possible. the driver's door can't lock unless it's closed..meaning it can only be locked from the outside with the key, or with you on the inside

How did you lock the keys in the car. The driver's door requires a key to lock it.

FOUND THEM!!! When I had checked my coat pockets, I had missed them!! PHEWW!!! I am officially calmed down. That was a horrible, sinking, disgusted feeling when I reached for the keys, and they weren't hanging up. Thanks!!

Is this your only copy? If it is, it's time to head to the dealer and have a new steel key made.
My wife's keychain has a duplicate of the my 300D's key, and I have one for her 190E. As a final back up, I have a brass duplicate key of my 300D in my wallet (it's thin enough to be unobtrusive).

I thought it was odd when I read this post. It's actually pretty hard to lock your keys inside the car...
I hate my GFs car because of this. You can lock the door at any time which makes it quite easy to lock them inside.

If you did lock the keys in the car. This is how you get in:
You need a coat hanger, a file, a big screw driver, a leather belt. Bend one end of the coat hanger to a fish hook shape and sharpen with file. Using the leather belt to protect the trim and paint, pry the corner of the door open just enough to stick the coat hanger in. Bend the coat hanger to shape till you can hook the door knob and yank. Takes me less than a minute.

ok... it's odd that one key only opens the driver's door... and the other only opens the passenger's door, but both will start the car... perhaps the driver's door tumbler has been replaced with a generic one, and the ignition tumbler is damaged to accept any key... if you take your registration to any mercedes dealer they will cut you a correct vin matched key that fits the trunk, glove box and all the doors along with the ignition. however, you may have damaged or incorrect tumblers in place on your car. the dealer can also order correct tumblers for the vehicle. so first step I'd take is take owner ship papers to the dealer, and order a master key. then see what it will NOT open, and order replacement tumblers for those spots.
