If your car is locked from the inside, the lock is damaged, and the battery is flat, preventing you from opening it with the remote - a true compilation of misfortunes - there is a method to open it without breaking any glass and without calling a locksmith.

You will need a piece of wire that is not too thin and some plastic spatulas.

Use the spatulas to create an opening in the door seal of the driver's side without damaging it, while the wire should be bent into a hook to catch the internal handle to unlock it. Where the wire runs, place some adhesive tape to avoid damaging the bodywork.
