Auto opening tools have saved a great many car windows from untimely demises. One has few options when one locks one's keys in the car. Many people turn to locksmiths for help in such situations. Locksmiths must be outfitted with the proper lockout equipment in order to get locked car doors open.

One of the most common auto opening tools is the slim jim. This device is used to bypass the keyhole to open the car door. A slim jim is inserted by way of the weather stripping that outlines the car window. As many foreign and domestic cars vary in terms of lock design, it is important to use a slim jim specified for use with the given make and model of a car.

Slim jims sound fairly easy to use, but they can be quite difficult for a beginner to handle properly. Most people are better off sticking with professionals when they are locked out of their cars instead of attempting to fix the problem themselves. Damage to one's car window or door-locking mechanism can result from an ill-fated attempt to unlock one's car with a slim jim.
