1. Various Tools Used by Mobile Locksmiths in Melbourne
A mobile locksmith is a normal service provider who serves customers with the
needs of automotive locksmithing. Sometimes those people who have lost their keys
or locked them in their own cars, at this situation these mobile locksmiths use their
special tools to unlock the car doors without any damage to the car.
In my previous articles, I have often talked about how locksmiths help us in the
midnight, how they are ready to assist us 24x7 hours, etc.… But do you know what
kind of tools they use for their locksmith services? Though it is not crucial to know,
but still it is very necessary while choosing your mobile locksmiths in Melbourne city.
At least you can ask them before hiring whether they are using these tools or not!
Let’s discuss about some of the tools:

2. 1) Auto Jigglers:
These Auto jigglers are otherwise called as tryout or bump keys. These are an
arrangement between a key and a lock pick. They look like a ring of keys, but each
key has its individual exclusive shape which has been designed to pick a lock. Most of
the cars use their own unique key blanks, which have their own shape and
dimensions. Every key used on that model will have the same fundamental features.
A set of auto jigglers includes these features, but mixing them with universal tools
which can replace a key. So every mobile locksmith should have a set of jigglers for
each major car model like Fords, for trucks and for European cars.
2) J and L Tools:
A J instrument is used on cars which have switched lock or unlock button along the
inside of the door and this is a feature which basically found in older cars. While new
model cars have recessed or electrical lock buttons. The J tool can be fed through the
window so that it reaches in the car easily. From here, it can be planned to switch
the unlock button and release the door. A L tool looks like a J tool, but has a slightly
different in shape to work with various types of vehicle designs. Both of these tools
are often employed with extra wires and guides which are fed through the top of the
window to aid the locksmith to access the lock.
3) Slim Jim:
A slim Jim is also known as a slim shim which is one of the key apparatus used by the
mobile locksmiths. It contains a steel bar which may change from a few inches to a
few feet in length. The bar is jagged at the bottom and may have a curve or slope
along its length. A mobile locksmith can penetrate this tool between the glass and
weather stripping on a car window to open the door without the keys. The notch on
the bar is used to activate the regulator arm for the car's locking mechanism. Slim
Jim models are to some extent altered, depending on the type of car being worked
on. Only a trained mobile locksmith should use this apparatus, as inappropriate
application can deactivate the car's airbags or electrical system.
