Dead car battery and keb fob also locked inside

After getting up for work this morning, I found that my key fob is locked in the car . Battery is also dead I think I left the radio on too (I was tired as hell forgive me). Is there any other way to access the car without calling a locksmith? Any car hacks? I was thinking Pop the hood through grill? Wheel well? Jacking car and jumping from starter??? Will any of this work? Please help me I'm in a crisis had to call out because of this.

Wife did this in her car. Brought the extra key, and a new battery and got her out of that mess. Make the call to the locksmith, get an extra key too.

Free. It was me! I had to bring the new battery and an extra key to rescue her.

Just wedge the front door open at the top near the back and stick a long thing in the gap and manually unlock the door.

I have never been able to lock my key fob inside my 2012 Maxima, 2015 Murano or 2017 Titan. If I leave the fob inside the vehicle and lock the door with the switch, when I shut the door it immediately unlocks all doors and makes a persistent beeping sound. I have tried this when at home just to make sure having the extra fob inside the house in case it did lock.

What I haven't tried is manually activating the lock lever with my fingers and trying the same thing. Is this what happened? Or was the battery in the car dead already when you inadvertently locked the doors?

Locksmith Cincinnati have comprehensive knowledge of all door types and can service deadbolts, sliding doors, safes, and mailbox locks regardless of structure. Similarly, they cater to individuals who find themselves accidentally locked out of their home, providing a quick mobile solution and an extra set of keys.

A few years ago, I started my car and left the fob in the console. Came out to get in, and the car was locked while still running. I know people will say that can't happen, but it did. As I was stuck (no second key), I got a ride to dealership, and they were able to cut me a key for driver door using my VIN number. Car sat in my driveway running for over an hour while I was at dealership. When I go back, I was able to use the key to open driver door. I was never able to duplicate the door locking with fob inside since. Not sure how it happened, but dealership was able to cut a key for driver door via VIN number. Hope this helps.
