Pro-Lok AK42-LA – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What comes in the Pro-Lok AK42-LA long arm car opening kit?
Four pieces: the Standard 58 inch Long Arm Tool (AO42-LA), an Inflatable Pump Wedge (AO65), a Mini Rubber Wedge (AO67), and the Long Arm Tool Protection Sleeve (AO42SL). The wedges create the gap at the door frame, the long arm reaches inside, and the sleeve covers the arm so it doesn't mark the paint or glass.
2) Can the Pro-Lok long arm tool reach the unlock button on a vehicle, or is it only for lock rods?
The 58 inch arm is made for interior work: depressing an electric unlock button, pulling the interior door handle, lifting a manual lock button, or hooking keys off the seat. It works the way your own hand would if you were sitting in the car, so it isn't limited to vertical lock rods.
3) Do I still need a wedge if I buy the Pro-Lok AK42-LA kit?
No, wedging is covered. The kit ships with both an inflatable pump wedge (AO65) for opening the top of the door frame under controlled pressure and a mini rubber wedge (AO67) for starting the gap. That is the full entry sequence in one kit.
4) How do I avoid scratching the window or door frame with a long arm tool?
Use the AO42SL protection sleeve that comes with the AK42-LA kit. It slips over the long arm tool to keep bare metal off the glass edge and the door opening while you're working inside the vehicle. Combine it with the inflatable pump wedge rather than prying, since the pump spreads load gradually.
5) What is the difference between the standard long arm tool and a short reach car opening tool?
Reach. The AO42-LA arm in this kit is 58 inches, long enough to cross the cabin from the driver's window to the far side or down to the seat for keys. A short tool only reaches the lock button or handle nearest the entry point. If your calls include larger vehicles or key retrieval, the long arm is the one to carry.
6) Is this Pro-Lok car opening kit meant for professional locksmith use?
Yes. Pro-Lok classes the AK42-LA as commercial locksmith tooling, not a consumer emergency kit. It is the kind of set a locksmith, roadside service tech, or fleet property operation keeps for lockout calls.
7) Is the AK42-LA a complete kit or do I order the pieces separately?
It ships as one kit under model AK42-LA, with all four pieces included. The components also carry their own Pro-Lok numbers (AO42-LA, AO65, AO67, AO42SL), so you can reorder any single piece later if an arm bends or a wedge gives out.
