The "jiggling" keys are cut in various patterns to replicate the average lock settings, which means the jiggling causes the pins or wafers to be set until the lock opens. Any good locksmith will have a selection of auto jigglers, but I would also say they offer a great way to pick locks for beginners.

Read More »If you've ever inserted the correct key into a lock, such as your front door lock, only to find it didn't open, what did you do? I thought so: you gave it a jiggle, a wiggle, and moved it around a bit, and then presto! It unlocked and you could open the door. That's how a jiggler key works. Lock jiggler keys come in a variety of patterns to trick the lock into thinking it's the right key. We have jigglers for wafer locks, pin-cylinder locks, cabinet locks, and auto jigglers for car locks. There's often no tension tool required, as the jiggler itself is also the tension tool. The "jiggling" keys are cut in various patterns to replicate the average lock settings, which means the jiggling causes the pins or wafers to be set until the lock opens. Any good locksmith will have a selection of auto jigglers, but I would also say they offer a great way to pick locks for beginners. Our "jiggling" keys are sturdy, well-cut, and good to use in different applications. You can definitely use these simple tools during emergencies. You won't need to get a locksmith when opening a car or a cabinet. The excellent lock picks will help you save some bucks in the long run.

When the old elbows break, they cause the key to become non-operational and they sink as though being held down by a ghostly hand. The fix for this problem is to replace all the elbows with a modern plastic elbow that is much more durable and will not become brittle.
This post was originally published on 7/6/2015. If you have a piano with sunken keys such as shown in the photo above, your piano might have a broken elbow, or many broken elbows. This is only one possibility, but it is a common problem in spinets (upright pianos with a very short back, shorter than the top of the music rack). Spinets have what are called "drop actions" which means the action sits partially below the keys rather than on top of them as in other upright pianos. A drop action allows the overall height of the piano to be less. There are many inherent problems with these types of pianos, but elbows are the only one that will be discussed in this post. In other uprights, the action sits on top of the keys. When a key is depressed, the back end of the key lifts and engages the action. In a spinet, or drop-action piano, the keys have a "drop wire" at the back of them that descends below the key. It has a plastic elbow at the bottom that produces the lifting action necessary to engage the action. The elbows were produced with a plastic that becomes very brittle over time and can be very easily broken. When the old elbows break, they cause the key to become non-operational and they sink as though being held down by a ghostly hand.
