We offer the Best Lockout Tools

This section of our catalog includes Car Opening Tools and specialized Lockout Tools which are, for our purposes, differentiated from so-called Automotive Locksmith Tools in that the selection found on this page represents instruments which can only be described as Vehicle Lockout Tools. In addition to such tools as the classic Slim Jim, you'll find Under Glass Tools and Horizontal Linkage Tools. If you're looking for a complete Car Lockout Kit you'll find assortments in all price ranges. Car opening tools have evolved over the years in surprising ways. When I first got into locksmithing, in 1983, there were many fewer available specialized tools than you can find today! The Slim Jim was supreme in those days because a good practitioner could open most anything with it. While it was invented primarily to lift vertical linkages, knowing how horizontal rods worked in the cars that came along in the mid-eighties made it easy to use the Slim Jim to slide them sideways.
Modern vehicles are equipped with many devices and systems that make servicing a simple case of a key locked in car a major headache, not without its inherent risks that include doing costly damage to wiring and linkages. For the Locksmith it is more important than ever to possess both tools and knowledge that will produce the desired result, whether the aim is to Pick or use basic Car Unlock Tools.
