Jiggler keys are keys designed for opening car doors. These jiggler keys can also be used to start older model cars. But how does it work?
The chances are high that you have already applied the technique with a regular key. Sometimes it happens that you insert a key into the keyhole and the lock doesn’t want to open right away. You then move the key a little up and down and voilà, the key works again. These Jigglers keys are designed to work exactly like that, but on many different locks.
How do you use jiggler keys?
Normally, when lockpicking, you use two tools, namely a lockpick and a tension wrench. When using a jiggler key, that is not necessary.
You insert one of the jiggler keys into the lock, give it a wiggle, move it in and out a few times, turn it to the right, turn it to the left, shake it, and suddenly the lock is open.
In this video, jiggler keys are used to open a pin cylinder lock. For plate cylinder locks, the technique demonstrated in the video is the same.
The simple and effective technique of jiggling means that even someone who has never picked a lock can open it in seconds.
