If you do not have any tools, take a piece of wood and cut a long slightly sloped wedge. put the wedge between the top of the door on the latch side up by the roof. use a hanger that is made into one piece and go into the compartment through the space made by the wood. It takes some practice, but use it to push the up button on the power lock. I am pretty sure all the Lumina's had power locks.

Hope this helps.

If you have an Autoclub membership or insurance company premium policy they will pay for a Locksmith to come out. They are usually very fast. Police and wrecker drivers carry slim-jims for the same purpose.
Last, you can get the VIN# off your car papers or front window ID plate and ask the dealer if they can cut a new key.

My keys are stuck in the trunk lock.the trunk won't close I have a 1997 Chevy Lumina how do I get the keys out and lock the trunk

Try squinting some good lubricant in the lock with the key and wiggling it around. Also lube the latch mechanism itself. Do not twist the key too hard because it can bend and/or break.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/kim_3202917d7c587455
