Jump start locked out

Hi guys

I have an SLK230 2001, now I am locked out my car becuase I think that my battery is flat. The central locking is not working and I cant access the car using the key aswell.(dont have the spare)

How do I go about jumping the car if I cant open the car or bonnet.

Can I, or even the AA get a charge on the battery by other means.

By spraying some silicon or PTFE in the lock barrel this should enable you to open the car, it will take some persistence but always works,,get some lock covers once it open

There are ways, normally involving connecting jump leads to the main terminal on the starter to provide enough power to trip the locks. I dare say the AA would have a way.
Easiest way is as TV says though.
