Car Lockout Procedures

1. Unlocking Methods

A. Using the Lishi Tool

The Lishi tool is a good choice for opening car locks without damage.

Advantages:

• It can open the lock and find the lock code at the same time.

• There is very little chance of breaking or hurting the lock.

How to Use It:

• Use gentle pressure to feel the pins inside the lock.

• Do not push too hard, or the tool might get stuck.

Tip: If you don’t know how to use the Lishi tool, you can take our training course to learn more.

Using a Lishi Tool: Step-by-Step Guide

1.  Choose the Right Lishi Tool:

• Make sure you have the correct Lishi tool for the car. Different cars need different tools.

2.  Put the Lishi Tool in the Lock:

• Gently put the Lishi tool into the car’s lock. Make sure it fits well and is all the way inside.

3.  Use Light Pressure:

• Use the tension part of the tool to add gentle pressure. Do not push too hard, or the tool might get stuck.

4.  Feel for the Pins:

• Use the pick part of the tool to feel each pin inside the lock. Lift them slowly and carefully.

5. Listen and Feel:

• Listen for small clicks or feel small movements. This means a pin is in the right place.

6. Set All the Pins:

• Keep lifting each pin one by one. Use just enough pressure to set each pin.

7. Open the Car:

• When all the pins are in the right place, the lock will turn. Turn it gently to open the car door.

8. Find the Lock Code (if needed):

• If you need a new key, use the tool to find out the lock code by checking the pins.

B. Air-Wedge Entry

This method is used if you don’t have a Lishi tool.

Steps:

1. Gently put one or two air wedges between the top of the car door and the frame.
2. Slowly pump air into the wedges to make a small gap. Don’t use too much pressure.
3. Use a long stick or rod to lift the door lock pin or pull the door handle from the inside.

Be Careful:

• Don’t over-pump the air wedges, or you might bend the door.
• Only make a small gap, just enough to slide the tool inside safely.

   • You need one or two air wedges and a long stick or rod.

2. Put in the Air Wedges:

   • Slide the air wedges (deflated) between the top of the car door and the frame. Be careful not to damage the car.

3. Pump Up the Air Wedges:

   • Slowly pump air into the wedges. This will make a small gap. Don’t over-pump, or you might damage the door.

4. Make Space:

   • When there is a small gap, put the long stick inside to reach the car's lock.

5. Unlock the Car:

   • Use the stick to lift the lock pin or pull the inside door handle. The car will unlock if you pull the handle.

6. Remove the Air Wedges:

   • Let the air out of the wedges and take them out. Check to make sure there is no damage.

2. Safety Tips

General Safety:

• Be careful with your tools and don’t use too much force.

• Watch the lock and door to make sure you don’t damage anything.

For BMW Cars:

• Don’t jump-start the car directly on the battery. Use the special points for jump-starting.

• Be extra careful when unlocking to protect the car’s electronics.

Using Airbags:

• Only pump the airbags enough to make a small gap.

• Too much pressure can damage the door frame or seals.

3. Tool Tips
