The invention relates to a method for opening locks, designed for use in a lock equipped with a cylinder, rotor, and inlet channel for an opening key, comprising the following steps:

a. Positioning and pre-insertion into the inlet channel of a tool having a geometry which is compatible with the opening key, and said positioning being up to only one region of said tool corresponding to the tip thereof, and in a manner initially similar to inserting the same opening key into said inlet channel.
b. Pressing by means of an impingement gun on the same tool in the inlet channel, after the positioning thereof.
c. Penetration of said tool in the inlet channel as a consequence of the previous pressing, and interlocking in the inlet channel, occupying a space similar to the corresponding opening key.
d. Breaking the cylinder and/or rotor as a consequence of the previous penetration and interlocking.
e. Opening of the lock.

An apparatus and method for digital decoding and deciphering a lock cylinder pin configuration, such as for a Kwikset or a Smart Key lock is disclosed. The digital decoder includes a light source placed inside of the keyhole that eliminates glare from the face of the lock and improves the decoding process. A digital camera is configured to provide an optical view of an interior of the lock cylinder to detect the pin settings for each of a plurality of lock tumbler pins carried by the lock cylinder. The digital camera is configured to provide a live feed displayed on a video screen or recorded for later analysis.

A security lock for a door is provided having a bracket on the interior side of the door with a locking bolt mounted in the bracket. The bolt is adapted for movement between a raised, unlocked position above a cavity on the floor below the bracket and a lowered, locked position where the bolt is in the cavity to prevent the door from being opened. A bolt restraint is mounted on the bracket and cooperates with the bracket to maintain the bolt in its unlocked position. The bolt restraint, for example, a spring-loaded ball that engages an annular recess in the bolt, releases the bolt into its locked position when a downward force is applied to the bolt. The locking bolt has an enlarged flange that stops movement of the bolt into the cavity beyond a predetermined location on the bolt.

The present invention provides a burr in the form of a generally cylindrical rod, the burr having a proximal end for mounting in a tool for rotating the burr and a distal cutting end, the burr having a cutting portion defined by a portion of a surface of the burr which comprises a plurality of teeth, the cutting portion including and extending from the distal end back towards the proximal end, wherein the cutting portion comprises a cylindrical portion of a first diameter and a distal end portion of a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter. The burr is particularly suited to the drilling of cylinder locks.

The present disclosure discloses a folding lock pick set having a set of lock picks pivotally mounted in the housing at their proximal ends, a locking bar pivotally mounted at its proximal end which is adjacent to the pivotally mounted proximal ends of the lock picks. An L-shaped tension wrench is stored inside the locking bar. The tension wrench is released by the depressing locking bar so that the back end of the shorter section of the tension wrench lowers past the fame of the housing and this allows for the tension wrench to slide out the distal end of the housing. When the locking mechanism/bar is not depressed the tension wrench sits securely inside the housing. The proximal end of the locking bar includes a pawl which engages two (2) cut-outs in the proximal ends of the lock picks, one cut-out being engaged by the pawl when the picks are stored in the housing to prevent them rotating out of the housing, and the other being engaged by the pawl when a given lock pick is rotated out of the housing to prevent it from rotating while the lock operation is ongoing.

An inflatable air wedge has a tool channel that is inserted between a vehicle door and a vehicle body for allowing an operator to effectively unlock the vehicle door without damaging the vehicle (door and/or body and/or weather stripping). The inflatable air wedge includes a selectively inflatable bladder capable of being intercalated between the existing vehicle door and the existing vehicle body, a pneumatic mechanism in operable communication with the bladder for selectively introducing and releasing air from the bladder, and a conduit engaged with the bladder. Advantageously, such a conduit is suitably sized and shaped for guiding an existing unlocking tool therethrough while the bladder is at an inflated state and seated between the vehicle door and the vehicle body. Notably, the conduit is spaced from the pneumatic mechanism and manually distended when the unlocking tool is positioned therein.

An illustrated door latch tool for externally unlatching a door latch. The door latch tool is useful when an emergency or other event occurs that requires entry into a room that has the door barred by the door latch. This door latch tool is useful for police officers, security officials, hotels, parents, etc. when there is a need to render aid to a person in the room or to aid in removing the person from the room and from any potential danger. The door latch tool has a card and a holder. When an event occurs and the door has a door latch locking the door, then the door is opened to its further point. The door latch tool is placed inside an opening of the door at the height of the door latch. The holder is held to maintain the placement of the door latch tool. The door is closed, thus the door latch tool aides in releasing the door latch such that the door may now be opened.
