Hi,
I just bought a 1994 Celica ST liftback and as my luck would have it, just locked my keys in the car. I tried a slim jim and even tried wedging it, but didn't want to push it and shatter the window. Is there a better technique I can get in without calling a lock-out company/AAA? Thanks in advance.
Due to it having frameless door windows they're really easy to break into without shattering glass. Should be able to get it with a metal coat hanger by sliding it through the top or side of the glass.

yup, what he said, you can get in there because there's no frame.
if not, i've heard that old toyota keys can fit into each other's keyhole so if you got a 90s toyota key laying around you can try it. I've never tried but it's worth a shot.

Use a coathanger, make a hook on one end and the rest straight. Use it to pull the hatch/trunk lever by the drivers seat
pushing the lock button with a long piece of a considerably sturdy piece of wire...may I ask how this happened?
What I think when you think I care
how did you lock it without the key?

Very easily, press the lock button as you're getting out.
Nice!

That doesn't work if the key is in the ignition

I locked my keys in the car several times, almost always under the same circumstances in spring or fall.
Cold morning, wear a jacket. Drive somewhere, by which time it's warm enough that I don't need a jacket. Turn the car off, pocket the keys, and get out, while simultaneously locking the door. Decide to take off my jacket, toss it into the car, and close the door. Take two steps and curse.
The fun part was that I kept a key in my wallet in case I locked my keys in the car. Unfortunately, my wallet would invariably be in the breast pocket of my jacket, which was now locked inside my car along with my keys.
Oddly, haven't done repeated that mistake for several years now.
Alright, I wanted to update on how things went. After hours of wedging and fishing the coat hanger through it, I gave up. I called the dealership and they recommended the only logical advice: To come in with my VIN and they'll cut me another key!
After a trip there and 13 bucks later, it feels good to have access again. Thanks for all your advice guys. I'll be keeping a spare wired somewhere under the car from now on...
You should have the system in your car where it unlocks the doors if you go to lock them and your key is in the ignition
does it ding with the kets in and door open? if not look up under the dash and you will sii a little white or gray plug on the ignition cyl nect to the big plug ... make sure its plugged i or that feature wont work... i know many people who have unplugged that cause the door ring annoyed them (myself included) but you lose the safety feature that wont let you lock the doors with the keys in the ignition
