SOURCE: I used a slim jim and now my door won't open from the outside.

Open up the door panel and put the control rod back on. that often happens when getting in that way...still cheaper than a locksmith or a window!! (clip is probably in the bottom of the door)

SOURCE: how can i slim jim the door? (locked my keys

with out the right tools it will be verry hard also you can break your glass or knock a lock rod off.

THE best way to do this is if you have power locks find somthing you can use as a wedge EXAMPLE;screw driver.place the wedge between the dood and the car you may have to pry it open a little. now get a coat hanger and push the power lock button.

Slim Jims only work on older cars. You need to insert it in the tight hole between the rubber strip and the window itself. Feel around for the lock rod and use the Slim Jim to unlock it.
Maybe lock bumping is a better option in your case.

I locked keys in car, still in the ignition of my 2010 Chevy Malibu. Where should I place the slim Jim to unlock door.

Best bet is to call a lock smith and have him get in the car for you. Later model cars are designed to prevent slim jim from working in mast cases. The cost of the locksmith will be small compared to the possible damage and having to replace broken window, linkage or wiring in the door.

Keys are locked in car and dont want to pay for aaa. I have slim jim how do I unlock door with it?

A lot of newer cars can't be opened with a slim jim anymore. A good kit uses a small bag that inflates with air to allow a long rod to unlock (electric door locks) These work much better.

My key will not unlock my door to 07 impala and keyless entry remote will not work.I have a car door lock ouy tool,but not sure to push or pull

if you have a slim jim (flat meatal with a hook) you are not getting in. the remote wont work because the battery is dead and the key doesnt work because you never use it (am i right?). Well this is what you can do short of calling a lock smith oir triple A. take WD-40 and spray it in the lock hole put the key in the door and work back and foward untilll it opens this could take a long time about 15 patient minutes (**TIP** put a pair of vise grips on the key this will give you a handle to use because your fingers will get tired quick.)
