Locksmith Car Lock Out Tools

Locksmith car lock-out tools are tools that are used to unlock, pick, or pry open car doors and keyholes.

• Slim jims: Thin metal strips that are slid between the window and the door panel to catch and pull the lock rod.
• Long-reach tools: Flexible or rigid tools that are inserted through the top corner of the door to reach and manipulate the lock button, handle, or switch.
• Auto jigglers: A set of keys with various patterns that are inserted and wiggled in the keyhole to simulate the original key.
• Pick guns: Tools that use a spring-loaded mechanism to strike the pins inside the lock cylinder and create a shear line.
• Pick sets: A set of tools with different shapes and angles that are used to manually manipulate the pins inside the lock cylinder.
• Bump keys: Specially cut keys that are inserted and tapped with a hammer to create a shear line inside the lock cylinder.
• Lishi: A tool that combines a pick and a decoder to open and read the lock code.
• Transponders: Devices that can program or clone transponder keys for vehicles with immobilizer systems.
• Pin kits: A set of pins and springs that are used to rekey locks and create new keys.
• Rekeying tools: Tools that are used to change the configuration of a lock so that it can be opened by a different key.
• Key machines: Machines that can cut new keys from blanks or duplicate existing keys.
• Punches: Tools that can punch out the key code on a key blank.
• Air wedges: Inflatable devices that are inserted between the door and the frame to create a gap for inserting other tools.
• Lock face plate removers: Tools that can remove the face plate of a lock cylinder to access the pins.

• Slim jim: A slim jim is a thin metal strip with a hook or notch at one end. It is used to slide between the window and the door panel and catch the lock rod inside the door. You need to find the right spot to insert the slim jim and pull up or down on the hook until you hear a click. This means you have unlocked the door. However, some cars have anti-theft devices that prevent slim jims from working, so you need to check before using this tool.
• Long-reach tool: A long-reach tool is a flexible metal rod with a hook or loop at one end. It is used to reach inside the car through a small gap in the window or door and pull or push on the door handle, lock button, or other mechanism. You need to wedge the window or door open slightly with an air wedge or another tool and then insert the long-reach tool carefully. You need to have a good view of what you are doing and avoid scratching the glass or interior.
• Auto jigglers: Auto jigglers are a set of keys with various shapes and cuts that mimic common car keys. They are used to jiggle in the keyhole until they catch the tumblers and turn the lock. You need to try different jigglers until you find one that fits the keyhole and then apply gentle pressure and movement until you unlock the car. You need to be patient and subtle with this method and avoid breaking the jigglers or damaging the lock.
• Pick gun: A pick gun is a device that uses a spring-loaded mechanism to strike a pick blade into the keyhole rapidly. It is used to create vibrations that bounce the tumblers into place and allow you to turn the lock with a tension wrench. You need to insert the pick blade into the keyhole and adjust it to match the lock type. Then you need to insert the tension wrench into the bottom of the keyhole and apply slight pressure. Finally, you need to pull the trigger of the pick gun repeatedly until you unlock the car. You need to be careful not to damage the lock or injure yourself with this tool.
