A locksmith can open a car door without a key using various methods, such as using a lock pick set or a slim jim tool. Locksmiths may also use a technique called “lock bumping” which involves using a specially cut key called a “bump key” to rapidly bump the lock pins into the correct position to open the door. Additionally, we have access to tools that can program a new key for the vehicle, allowing us to bypass the need for the original key.

It depends on the type of vehicle and the technology used in the key and lock system. Modern vehicles use “transponder keys” which have a small chip embedded in the head of the key that needs to be programmed to the vehicle’s computer in order for the car to start. In this case, a locksmith needs the original key or the vehicle’s identification number (VIN) to make a new key.

Older vehicles have simple mechanical key that can easily be duplicated using a key cutting machine. In this case, we do not need the original key to make a new one.

We can usually make a new key for a front door without the original key.

We can usually make a new key by using a technique called “key impressioning” which involves using a blank key and a special tool to cut the new key to match the shape of the lock’s pins. We can also use a key cutting machine to make a new key by copying the code found on the lock or the key itself.

We may need the original key if the lock uses a special type of key or a high-security key that is not easily duplicated.

Some doors use smart locks that use electronic keys or codes instead of physical keys, in this case we do not need any physical key, but will need to know the lock’s firmware or software to program a new key.

If you’ve lost your car key and you have no spare key, the process to create a new one will depend on the type of key and the make and model of your vehicle. Here are a few steps that are commonly involved in creating a new key for a car:

• Contact a locksmith or a dealership: A locksmith or a dealership that specialises in your car’s make and model will be able to help you create a new key.
• Provide identification and proof of ownership: You’ll need to provide identification, such as a driver’s license, and proof of ownership, such as the vehicle’s registration or title, to show that you are the rightful owner of the car.
• Identify the type of key: Your vehicle may have a traditional mechanical key, a transponder key, or a “smart key” that uses a remote to unlock the doors and start the engine. The locksmith or dealership will need to know the type of key in order to create a new one.
• Obtain a key code: Many newer vehicles have a key code that is stored in the car’s computer. The locksmith or dealership will need this code to create a new key. If you don’t have the key code, the locksmith may need to access the car’s computer by connecting to the OBD port or by removing the EIS (Electronic Ignition Switch) and extract the key code.
• Create a new key: Depending on the type of key, the locksmith or dealership will use a key cutting machine or a computerized programming tool to create a new key that matches the one you lost.
• Program the new key: If the car uses a transponder key or a smart key, it will need to be programmed to communicate with the car’s computer. The locksmith or dealership will use a specialized tool to do this.
• Test the new key: The locksmith or dealership will test the new key to ensure that it works properly and can start the car.
• Handover the new key: The locksmith or dealership will give you the new key and instructions on how to use it.

It’s worth noting that the cost of creating a new key can vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle and the type of key you need.

A locksmith may be able to open your safe if you have forgotten the combination, but it depends on the type of lock and safe you have. Here are a few methods locksmiths may use to open a safe:

• Dialing the combination: A locksmith may be able to open a safe that uses a combination lock by attempting to dial the correct combination. They may use specialized tools to help them listen to the clicks of the lock as they dial, which can help them determine the correct numbers.
• Manipulation: Some locksmiths are skilled in manipulating combination locks, which involves using a variety of tools and techniques to open the lock without knowing the combination.
• Drilling: If the safe is locked with a mechanical or electronic lock and the locksmith is not able to open the safe with the above methods, the locksmith may have to drill the lock to open the safe. This is a last resort method and will cause damage to the lock and the safe.
• Bypass: If the safe has a bypass lock, locksmith can use the bypass method to open the safe.

It’s worth noting that these methods are not always successful and may cause damage to the safe. A locksmith will always try to open the safe without causing damage, but sometimes it may not be possible, it also depends on the type of safe and the level of security it provides.

It’s also important to note that some safe manufacturer’s void the warranty if the safe is opened by someone other than authorized personnel. So, it is always better to check the warranty before proceeding with any locksmith.

A smart lock is a type of electronic lock that can be controlled remotely using a smartphone or other device connected to the internet. These locks typically use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to communicate with a smartphone app, which allows the user to lock and unlock the door, and monitor the status of the lock.

Some of the features that smart locks offer include:

• Keyless entry: Smart locks do not require a physical key to open the door. Instead, users can unlock the door using a code, a smartphone app, or a proximity sensor (such as a fingerprint or facial recognition).
• Remote access: Users can remotely lock and unlock the door using a smartphone app, even if they are not at home.
• Scheduling: Smart locks can be programmed to automatically lock and unlock at certain times of the day or week.
• Event tracking: Smart locks keep track of who enters and exits the building and when.
• Voice control: Some smart locks can be controlled with voice commands through a smart home assistant such as Amazon Alexa or Google home.

Smart locks come in many different styles and designs, from traditional deadbolt-style locks to more modern, minimalist designs. Some smart locks can be retrofitted to an existing deadbolt lock, which allows users to keep their current door hardware and still enjoy the benefits of a smart lock.

It’s worth noting that smart locks can be vulnerable to hacking, which is why manufacturers are constantly updating their software to keep up with the latest security standards and keep their customers safe.
