Is it possible to survive without wire auto-unlock tools?

[Garza]

I'm curious to know if expertise at lockpicking can keep you from buying expensive wire lock-out tools?

I used to work security at a mall about ten years ago where we assisted with several auto lock-outs a day. This was very fun for me. All we had was a slim jim, but I was successful about 95 percent of the time. My problems usually arose when the stupid thing got stuck in the door. I always managed to get it out without damaging anything, but I worry when I see the wire tools that are available for lockouts now.

If I practice, practice, practice, is it possible to always get in through lockpicking? Or are wire tools a fact of life I will have to learn to deal with?

Wires are an important bit of kit to a auto lockout specialist,

Auto discussion is locked to the advanced sections and should not be discussed about in the public sections.

Shrub is correct, wires are an important part of auto openings but that is reserved for the advanced forums.
