Hey all. I just bought and received a set of 10 jig tryout keys that supposedly can open nearly any car door, w/o the use of a tension tool. I wanted to know if this really worked, any tips on how to use them, etc. I have opened 2 locks with them, but they were beyond basic and I only used one of the simplest designs. I bought them from <a href="http://spyoutlet.com/products/index.cgi?code=3&cat=6">here</a> and they're the third one down.

Fell free to e-mail me or reply if you have any info.

First off, you can't use HTML code in this board

the proper format would be

Code: Select all: [url]http://spyoutlet.com/products/index.cgi?code=3&cat=6[/url]

And second, your going to find that the jigglers don't work on many newer cars. Sure, you might be able to get some older cars with them, but don't get your hopes up too high. Have you even TRIED picking a lock?

Jigglers will open many cars, but often there are special tryout sets for a particular make of car etc. The SouthOrd Jigglers which you purchased (at a nice price I may add) will open some locks, and some cars, but I would never make them my first choice in an opening situation for any padlock etc. I don't do automotive, so I wouldn't use them on a car. Just a hint, many newer cars have quite fragile locks that wont stand up to many jiggling techniqes.

Finally, just an FYI, no email requests please. Read the rules.

Thank you for your responses. I apologize for not seeing the e-mail bit. wells I tried using them on my car first and several masterlocks, and had no success. My car is a 94 and thought it would work out. I tried various master locks inclouding some more worn in ones. SouthOrd you say? the slip of paper that came with mine says Majestic Lock Company--oh well

just a question: are you looking at trying to "pick" car locks using jigglers as a hobby?

by **CitySpider** » 1 Apr 2004 22:39

Jigglers certainly _should not_ work on masterlocks, to the best of my knowledge.

WhiteHat- your question is either awkwardly worded or I am really as tired as I think I am.

"are you looking at trying to "pick" car locks using jigglers as a hobby?"

throught my understanding of the question, yes it's just a hobby, I have no intentions of messing with other people's cars or anything. I lock myself out of my car all the time and as I said I am new to all of this. I just kind of need some advice on the "basics". What does the site I provided mean when it says large padlocks then? I apologize for my lack of knowledge on the subject and thank you for your time to reply.

sorry, I was just checking if you bought them for the sole purpose of opening cars that you don't own.

I've never used jigglers (or anything similar before) but from what I have gathered, they don't require much skill, but rather luck.

if you want to learn picking, then this is a great site (read the FAQ's and the MIT guide), get or make yourself some real picks/tension wrenches and have fun!

SouthOrd and Majestic probably make most of the same stuff anyway. Sorry for the confusion.

I have that set in my tool box at work. I haven't got round to using it much, as I'm on a time-saved commission (sp?) scheme, so bypass techniques are quicker for me. Dark Angel has the same set, maybe he could offer some more info as to what works. I did try the rocker picks on a couple of Toyota & Nissan ignitions, but found it quicker to use a 1/2 diamond and a wishbone tension wrench.....

For some close-ups of the LTI 620 set, go here:

Hint: It's the 9th post down and starts on the 3rd pic.

This is incorrect, the same tumblers are used in the doors as are used in the ignition, although the ignition usually contains more (for increased theft prevention) If the vehicle is equipped with a transponder immobiliser, you can also forget about being able to start it - you've a better chance of braiding sawdust......
