He is on his way to help a woman who locked herself out of her house. She was a pain on the telephone when she spoke to the Detroit locksmith. The Detroit lock tech wonders as he drives to the woman’s house if she will keep up her level of obnoxiousness without having a heart attack. He arrives at his destination grabs his tool box and walks up the driveway to meet the woman.
He fixes her lock and she is now calmer. She asks how she can not have this problem again. He says she needs to buy a different brand of lock.
He drives off to his next job reminding us that he has not had a traffic accident in a whole year and that he lives by the credo that being safe is next to Godliness. The next call he makes is at a house with another Baldwin lock.
He says the inner mechanism needs repair. He calibrates the bolt slider very carefully because even a thousandth of an inch can make a difference. This can be nerve wracking work because he is dealing with minute details.
Then the Detroit lock tech answers a call from a teenager who has locked the keys in his dad’s car and he needs to get it home because his dad needs the car. The Detroit lock tech opens a space between the rubber seal and the door window. He holds it open with a window wedge. He then takes his slim jim and tries to use the hook on the end to reach the lock lever.
He feels for the lock release. He pulls the wedge down to see into the door panel. He sees what he is looking for and pulls the release with his slim jim and yanks the door look and it springs open. The teen is grateful and gets on the road so his dad will not miss his appointment.

He then pumps it up and this allows him to reach his tool inside. He will use a lasso tool for older cars that have the old door locks. He reaches in with the lasso and pulls the lock latch up.
He uses what is called a Japanese tool which he can work with the thumb style locks. He uses the auto buster which is good for GM cars with the slide locks. He also has the slide tool and as the Detroit lock tech refers to it the old faithful slim jim. In his arsenal the Detroit lock tech has an array of tools to help him get in when you lock yourself out.
