• Pliers (a pair)– This is a secondary material that will be required. You can use straight head needle-node pliers, as they would be the best to bend the bobby pins perfectly. If it is tough to find them, you can also use your hands, but they possess a risk of getting injured. Of course, if you are strong and feel like the hulk, you need no pliers!

Well, anyway, let us get familiar with the steps to create one such excellent tool to open a car lock. Bobby pin is a very effective tool that can be used to pick a lock easily.

• Use the pliers for bending the bobby pins. If you do not get one, you can use your hands, but keep the safety measures in mind.
• When the bobby pins are bent perfectly to give an l shape, one centimetre of the bobby pin should be put inside the car’s keyhole, and bent.

Step 2:

• Keep in mind to insert the correct amount of pressure.
• The pressure must be consistent since the wrong amount of pressure will abort your operation.

Step 3:

• Put the pick of your handmade device inside the upper part of the keyhole.

The car won’t be damaged if you open it with a bobby pin, it will be the same. If you leave your car keys inside the car itself, this is the most helpful method for you to open your car door in case of such an emergency.

Is It Easy To Pick?

Keeping in mind the materials and the steps used for opening it, yes, it is an easy method to open the car.

1. It is also very tricky as the bobby pins are small tools, whereas the car locks are big and heavy ones.
2. While it may be sounding easy, it is not. It requires a lot of practice, skills, and patience.
3. If the bobby pin gets stuck inside the car, and it gets broken, you would have to change the entire car lock. But it happens in the rarest of situations, and if you are careful, then never.
4. It is quite risky to use a metal clip, but a bobby pin is quite safe and easy to use.

Other Equipment Required

As long as you have a bobby pin and a pair of pliers, you won’t be needing any other equipment. But if either of them is unavailable, you can use metal paper clips.

Here is how you can use them:-

Step 1

• Straighten out the paper clip with one end bent, and press those parts together. This is the part that is supposed to be put inside the lock.
• Bend the long straight end of the paper clip to 90 degrees. This will form the handle of the tension wrench.

Step 2

• Straighten the second paper clip and clamp the end of the paper clips with the pliers.
• Bend the long part at 90 degrees. It will form a ridge. Keep making such ridges until you have three of them on the metal clip.

Step 3

• Insert your man-made tool into the lock, and try different combinations to open it.
• Once the right combination is made, the lock will automatically open.

Opening a car lock with a metal clip is risky because there are chances of it being left inside the lock. In that case, you will need to replace your entire lock. It would be better to open it with a bobby pin. ( Or do not leave your keys inside in the first place!)

Is It A Safe Method?

It needs to be kept in mind that applying too much pressure will hamper your mission and it won’t let you open the door. When you apply the right amount of pressure, you can easily get there.

Many people complain about damaging their car lock when they tried to open their car lock with a metal clip. It would be better if you choose a bobby pin, and follow the mentioned steps above, to avoid any failure. Moreover affair that others might bake your car and steal it you can have a durable hidden GPS tracker in your car to stay stress-free.
