Astro Van Lockout Tip

Lockout jobs is the most common type of jobs a typical locksmith would do most of the time. During my years as a locksmith technician probably 70% of my work were lockouts. Out of those 70%  most of them were car lockout. From all the car lockouts I had to do in the past there are several vehicles that I found to be very tricky. Out of those vehicles is a 1989 Chevy Astro Van. Even though in the locksmith books they mention to use a specific type of tool for this vehicle, I still found it difficult to open.

As my personal preference, when I ran into these type of vehicles where I can't open with the tool as mentioned in the books, I would usually turn to use the wedges. the way that I would do that is stick the wedge on the siding door glass just enough to be able to stick a Slim Jim inside and pop the window's lock clamp in the front followed by the back of the window. Once that is done, the window should open at about 4 inches which will give enough access to reach through the window in order to unlock the door.
