Specialty Tools Make the Locksmith’s Job Easier

Here’s a first look at some of the newest tools for the automotive locksmith.


Since the non-sidebar lock does not have the same openings above and below the keyway as the sidebar locks, the Aable 8 Cut No Sidebar Force Tool is designed to fit snugly over the face of the lock.

The end of the tool is machined to match the face of the lock exactly, allowing you to grip the lock securely as you force it to the “ON” position.

Focus Buster

The 2000 and up Ford Focus that is equipped with Huf ignition locks that are famous for failing. The Focus Buster takes advantage of a weakness in the lock, and lets you break out the face of the lock to reveal the end of the sidebar. All you have to do then is pull the sidebar out of the lock and the lock will then turn freely so that you can remove and replace it.

For information on Aable products, contact your local locksmith distributor or Aable Locksmiths, telephone 203-882-0600, web site www.aablelocksmiths.com.
