The answer is pretty simple and it’s our tools and equipment that we use and of course our locksmith experts without whom we can’t perform any of the locksmith work. We always carry the most essential locksmith tools and equipment in our mobile van while providing services to our customers. So, are you curious to know what tools does Locksmith Monkey team use? 

Let’s get started!

We use the following locksmith tools to solve all the lock and key issues of our customers:

1. Tweezers:

Tweezers, the basic tool used by our locksmiths. They use it as an extension of your hands during the lock replacement and re-keying process. The tips of the tweezers help to easily pick up the pins in the lock and control it. And these help to bring out the broken key part from the lock. 

2. Tensions Tools

Our locksmiths use tension tools or tension wrenches to pick a lock. This tool creates tension while lock picking and helps to keep the picked pins in place during the process. We also have advanced tension tools that have light features in them. It helps our locksmiths to clearly look into the lock during lock picking. 

3. Drilling machine

This is the most common and basic tool every locksmith use for locksmith work. At Locksmith Monkey, drilling machine is our go-to-go tool as we use it every day during our locksmith work. We can’t perform our work without this tool. 

4. Key Extractors

These are the most essential tool that we use on a daily basis to remove broken keys or key parts from locks. This tool comes in different sizes and is thin in shape. And based on the complexity of the broken key issue, the size of the tool is chosen. Our locksmiths are well trained to use this tool and they remove the broken key pieces in minutes. 

5. Lock Pick Guns

We use these lock pick guns to pick a lock. Our locksmiths are highly skilled and trained to use this tool as it requires the knack of using it in a proper direction and exert force on the lock pins. We use two different types of lock pick guns one is manually operated and the other one is an electric one. We use them based on our requirements. Both are highly efficient while picking a lock. 

6. Key Cutting Machines

We at locksmith Monkey are experts in making different types of keys. Be it for residential property, commercial property or your vehicle, we cover it all. Key making involves a lot of steps, and it requires the right tool to make the key with 100% accuracy and that is functional. We use key cutting machines to make the most accurate key for your lock. By using these key cutting machines, our locksmiths easily make copies of your lost or damaged keys. 

7. Slim Jim set: 

This is one of the most popular tools used by locksmiths. We use the Slim Jim tool for helping our customers get back into their vehicles during lockouts. This tool avoids the lock picking process and instead, the tool interacts with the hardware and unlocks the latch. With the help of this tool, our locksmiths open the door seamlessly in no time. 

8. Car key programmer kit:

As an auto locksmith expert in PDX, we have been providing a wide range of auto locksmith services. And we use the car key programmer kit for car key replacement. The modern-day car keys are made with advanced technology and have a transponder key embedded inside. If a customer loses or damages their key it needs to be replaced. Hence, at Locksmith Monkey we offer car key replacement services. Our auto locksmiths are highly skilled and trained to use the car key programmer kit. They are well versed with programming the car keys and they can perform car key programming within minutes. 

9. Key decoder: 

Key decoders are nothing but a plastic or metal cards that help to check the pin depth on different key brands. We use this tool to determine the pin depth inside the lock.

10. Safe or Vault opener:

Safes are available in different sizes so are the lock systems with different mechanisms. So, it’s quite challenging to open a safe.
