    I locked my only set of keys in boot today. The button at back of car which opens boot does not work,think its broken not frozen. I was never given a manual so dont know if theres a lever that can open boot inside the cabin. Looked everywhere but can't find it.I have access to car,would really appreciate any suggestions and I am sorry if this is similar to other threads in the past.

    Can you not just pull down the back seats?

    Unfortunately no thanks anyway.

    Is the rest of the car locked as well?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 205 ✭✭pat1981


    No I have access to cabin.

    Have you a ski section where a kind of arm rest in the back seats come down, or a boot unlock button on the dash?

    No arm rest or boot unlock button, the car is a coupe (convertable) I know where your coming from, but appears no way to access cabin through boot. Thanks for your time and comments though.

    Get a duplicate key cut from the chassis number when the main dealer opens or else ring one of the mobile locksmiths, it's your only option really.

    Thanks for your reply and the time and effort in scanning that info. This would be very useful info', but in my case with the keys locked in the boot, the retractable roof will only work when the engine is on, so cant gain access to the boot that way.
    The o button on the 307 sign I think is broken and not frozen, a possible result of a minor bump couple months a go. The boot lock works fine can open remotely using the key remote.
    As a poster remarked earlier, I think my only option is a key replacement from peoguet/locksmith.

    As Ali Babba said above i think your only option is to get a new key cut from your vin number (Peugeot) or get get a good locksmith.
    its cheaper just to get a regular key cut (nonblip) just to gain access.

    Thank you.

    Hope you get sorted....let us know how you get on...?
    It's always better to have a second key at hand but then again this is not always possible when a car is bought secondhand....:(

    Well finally got sorted today.
    Wasn't sure which avenue to go down as peoguet parts dept were mainly closed till the 4 th Jan'.
    Anyway initially the car was removed by breakdown assist, and has been in storage since 25th dec.
    I decided to go the mobile locksmith route getting a key cut with remote. I needed to get key code and transponder code which I got from peoguet in Nireland for £25. I was quoted between €230/260 by my locksmith, depending on the type of remote as the frequency were different on each remote.
    Unfortunately when the locksmith got there he realised that the 05 model had a three button remote and this was only available from peoguet.
    He still managed to open the boot, retrive my key happy days.
    As now the initial agrrement was out the window because non of us new the cost of the remote from peoguet, it was suggested I/he order the part and I pay for it, and he would charge me €50 for fitting it.
    I declined his offer and he said the fee was €150 thus far. I paid him and left.
    I rang peoguet this afternoon and was quoted €44.74 +vat for key/remote and €55+vat for them to programme key, incidently there was no charge for the key code and transponder code part of the service. He could order the part Monday and take 3-5 working days.
    If I was a wiser person looking back the correct process was get the breakdown recovery to bring to the nearest peoguet dealership,order key,problem solved.
    Under there terms and conditions of breakdown assist they bring to nearest dealership next working day,in my case this would have been the 4th Jan.
    Hopefully my experience will be of help to others, I wasn't reliant on my car during this period but I wanted to get it sorted, hence the decisions I made. Other cars have different remotes etc but I guess its always good to ask the locksmith and get assurances.
