It’s painful to get stuck out of your vehicle for slamming the door with the car key inside. It’s even more painful when it comes to an armored door. In these cases, few people manage to keep their cool. Fortunately, there are solutions implemented by a professional locksmith to open an armored door. Locksmith Momo tells you everything.
Use a credit card to open the armored door
This is a method within everyone’s reach and that the professional uses to open the armored door. To do this, he uses an old laminated card and inserts it into the section that separates the frame from the door itself. It ensures that the card remains perpendicular to the lock. Then it starts moving it down behind the lock by bending it.
Subsequently, the car locksmith pushes the card without stopping to pull it down in order to eject the locks. If the door has a handle, it is operated by the professional as he handles the card. With dexterity and patience, the armored door eventually opens. It should be noted, however, that this method is not always reliable and successful.
Use a humpback wrench to open the armored door
It will be here for the professional locksmith to use the method called “lock bumping”. The latter consists of hooking the lock using a humpback wrench made using a 999 wrench. A key can also be used to design a humpback wrench. For this, the locksmith inserts the key to strike into the lock. The key then takes the marks of the locks. He pulls it out in order to cut it to make a hump wrench so that it has teeth similar to those of the lock. Then the professional locksmith inserts the hump wrench into the lock. The car locksmith slightly forces the opening so that the pins fall off. As soon as this is done, he turns the key in a normal way to the point of opening the armored door.
